It's a pity to see that Amazon now openly supports and sells pirated merchandise, and this set should be avoided like the plague.
Even the use of Hitchcock's name, signature and likeness may be illegal.

It isn't just Amazon. Walk into any retail store (Wal Mart, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc) and you will see the PD Hitchcock titles.
Whoever controls the rights is doing nothing to enforce them.
Even the major (and otherwise reputable) PD companies are continuing to release new versions. If someone were to alert them of the case, they would probably cease and desist, but I guess that hasn't happened.
