So for those who missed the news, Premium DNA is "back" and gave an excuse for their year and a half radio silence, and an update on Earthworm Jim. This is the email they sent out in late October to people who bought EWJ figures directly from them.

>FROM OUR PARTNER EAST IP

>East IP is a leading firm in China assisting American companies in enforcing their intellectual property rights against infringements. See WWW.East-IP.com for more information on the firm.

>East IP has been representing Premium DNA since mid 2024 in investigating and pursuing legal solutions against infringements of our rights as well as those of our licensors, such as Interplay. This includes advertisements and sales of products leaked from sub-factories of our (now terminated) authorized suppliers.

>We have over time taken steps to stop any unauthorized production and sales by these parties based upon both intellectual property rights and contractual rights. Steps are being taken to clean up the market of unauthorized goods that remains in the hands of resellers our previous supplier can not control.

>FROM PREMIUM DNA

>Premium DNA holds itself to the highest standards in always delivering fans and collectors products that live up to our promise of premium quality. When Earthworm Jim suffered from inconsistency and errors across the production run, we could not, in good conscience, deliver those goods to our customers.

>Unfortunately, we were also misled repeatedly by a sub-factory in China, which ultimately led to the need for an exhaustive investigation into violations and enforcement of our IP rights.

>In order to protect the investigative measures in China, the privacy of other companies being affected by infringing activities of this supplier, and the rights of our IP holder partners, we were prohibited from providing updates to the public until reaching a resolution.
