Is thisanything to do with you Nick?
If not, is their naming convention not ripping you off?

Yes, we're aware of it, and yes, it's not good.

it's not good.
Are you sure, Nick? The amazon review sez:
As heart-warming as a mug of cocoa on the Siberian steppe

In that case, sorry for even mentioning it.
You want to ask a mod to delete this entire thread so they don't get any advertisement here? That's fine by me. Or would you rather it stay here so people know to avoid it like the plague?

When I said "It's not good" I wasn't referring to the contents of the DVD, I was referring to their use of the words "Masters of Cinema" in the name of a UK DVD label.

It's already causing a lot of confusion, and I would like this thread to stay just to let people know the "New Masters of Cinema 01" DVD is nothing to do with us.

Sure, I just thought that one-sentence review spoke volumes.

Nick, have you got an legal protection for the "Masters of Cinema" brand name? Even if you haven't, as the established name, and because of the consumer confusion that'll be caused, you could still make a legal challenge on their using it.

Yes, thanks. We're just waiting to hear back to see if they can comprehend the terrible confusion that's being caused by their name, and how it will affect them negatively much more than it will us.
