With the items there's no copyright. With the DVD there is. The studio owns the copyright to the "image" on the DVD that was copied. I guess the big question is does what he has done to the images count as derivative works or not? I say not, since he's used the image unmodified. I hope at $90k a sale it catches the attention of a pro bono for a nice test case. Would be interesting to see what the courts say.
