I'm pretty sure that was actually the discussion I was thinking of, I guess I remembered it wrong and thought they confirmed they did order it.

For what it's worth, I THINK it works this way: The distributor sets up the Amazon store page themselves and then can do what they want from there, adding or removing copies for sale. However, on other sites that aren't as direct as Amazon, a middleman is added in, and the distributor would ship copies to those sites for them to send to the people who order it. IF THIS IS CORRECT, that could mean that Viacom contacted Reagal Films to make them take down the store page on Amazon, but wouldn't have been able to do much about the other websites selling it. If that was the case, that means it could have been sold through those other websites even if the Amazon one was shut down before it started. Or, maybe Viacom had to contact each website individually and copies were sold before they got to them all? I don't really know what I'm talking about when it comes to this stuff though so I don't know if that is in fact how it works. Any other opinions on this?
