Computer Bild (a computer magazine in Germany) adds each of its DVD a movie. Here, an existing film is taken and slimmed down in the features, sound tracks, etc.. In addition, the cover of the original film is included as a PDF file on the DVD.

If I add the movie, I choose disc-ID because there already exists a profil with the EAN/UPC from the cover. These Submissions are declined with the reason, that I should take the EAN / UPC from the cover.

However, this is absolutely wrong. The EAN / UPC on the cover does not correspond to the stripped-down version of the film. Because the cover is included, I have to take it (I can not just take a different cover or change the cover / distort).

Can someone help me?

Dear moderator, can you comment this?

Thanks a lot.

Hard to tell how to handle this correctly. Is a cover included as a PDF file really a cover of the release according to the rules?  Or should the cover of the magazine be submitted?

Well...yeah but in this case the magazine doesn't really supply a cover for the release they have on their disk but they just put the cover of the retail release on there, ignoring the fact that the back cover information (including EAN!) is wrong.
