VCDs of both B5 and Crusade were released legitimately by WB only for the Asian
market. So in general, though I can't speak to the specifics of this one, the
concept is indeed legal, though they're not supposed to be shipped into the
States.
BTW, and I'm appending this here because I don't have much chance to post stuff
these days and this may be my only note for a bit...for those going to the Lord
of the Rings when it opens up, there will be a Legend of the Rangers trailer
shown in most of the theaters carrying that film, plus some will get B5:LoTR
trading cards.

Re: JMS- How about it Joe?
PS to my prior note...I stooged it. SFC mentioned trading cards and the LoTR
screening trailer in the same breath, and I thought the two were connected.
Apparently they're doing *electronic* trading cards, fully interactive, with
video from the movie and efx and stuff, that are now available from scifi.com,
not your basic paper trading cards. Apologies for the confusion, it's a
lifestyle thing with me.
