This kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry, curious how Hn would react to a piece of proprietary/licensed code somehow discovered in some highly profitable SaaS product (is that even a thing?)

I have no ill intentions. I have no intention to ask them to stop selling the items. In fact, I’m happy people are nostalgic about VHS. I’m not looking to milk the situation at all. I’m not threatening to get a lawyer on their case. I’m just frustrated that I had to find out from someone else in the first place.

too passive aggressive, if your work was stolen and used in a product to make $ you have every right to be upset. Lawyer up and get paid.
