* Troy Gold stealing GoodTimes’ tracking control disclaimer is almost like AIC Home Video stealing certain VHS tape masters from various companies for their tapes. I've seen two YouTube uploads of AIC Home Video tapes; Popeye and Woody Woodpecker, both uploaded by Tookey Dookey. The Popeye tape steals the master from Amvest Video/Kid Pics, while the Woody Woodpecker one steals the master from United American Video.

It’s also similar to how Diamond Entertainment Corporation stole Warner Home Video’s FBI warning screen for their releases in the 1990s, and how Goldstar Video Corporation's Goldrix Entertainment division (the short-lived joint venture with Matrix Video Duplication Corporation) stole Troy Gold's masters for their cartoon releases long after Troy Gold merged into Burbank Video. I even own an Avon VHS of "Road to Bali", which steals Burbank Video’s 1990 cover art (albeit with Avon’s catalog number on the spines) and, to my surprise, Unicorn Video’s mid-1980s master (I expected an actual Burbank Video master when I got that tape). What’s even weirder is that Unicorn Video’s master stole Embassy Home Entertainment/Nelson Entertainment’s FBI warning screen, and the master for the film itself from Colex Enterprises (a joint venture between Columbia Pictures Television and barter syndicator LBS Communications that was active from 1984–1987). I wonder if retail copies of the Burbank Video release of "Road to Bali" also stole Unicorn Video’s master.
 
Speaking of stealing masters, current modern-day prints of certain episodes of season 1 of Heathcliff and Cats & Company (also known as Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats), which was a cartoon produced by DIC in association with McNaught Syndicate, Inc. and LBS Communications, steal masters from Lorimar-Telepictures (which apparently once held international distribution rights to the cartoon alongside several other 1980s DIC cartoons), which those particular masters for certain episodes have the Lorimar-Telepictures logo at the beginning right before the cartoon's opening sequence. How these masters managed to see the light of day here in the U.S. is beyond me.
