Am I wrong, or is Dragon Dynasty not a Media Company

As far as I can tell, Dragon Dynasty is a marketing name for the companies The Weinstein Company and Genius Products.

So Would(could) Dragon Dynasty be considered a media company?

From Wikipedia:  Dragon Dynasty is a joint venture started by The Weinstein Company and Genius Products. The company was created on May 23, 2006 for the sole purpose of distributing East Asian films on DVD in the US, whose licenses are held by, or will be acquired by The Weinstein Company.

Based on that, it seems that they are a distribution company.  As such, they are a valid MC just like BVHE is for Disney.  I looked at their site and did not find anything to dispute the wikipedia claim.

The reason I ask, I have a number of dvd's that have there very large logo on the front, but in the credit block, they state

Artwork "The Weinstein Company"
Designed, Manufactured, and Distributed "Genius Products"

No where in the block does it state "Dragon Dynasty"

So would the media credit apply?

I have a couple of the Dragon Dynasty DVD's & in the database (at least for the dvds I have), they have Dragon Dynasty or The Weinstein Company or Genius Products or a combination of all three. Generally I agree with having them as a media company since as Unicus pointed out it was created for distributing Asian films in the US.

From the descriptions they sound vaguely like a label or something similar. And as we've not been told that labels are to be excluded I see no reason not to include them as a media company even if the only reference to them is a logo on the front.
I can see people wanting to be able to link their Dragon Dynasty DVDs together, so this seems the best way.
