I've had conversations with the directors of the film in question. They did
NTO sign a no distribute contract. The only thing close to it is that one of
the creators sent a letter to them promising he wouldn't distribute it, but
this was after LEGO contacted him and threatened him.
It was NOT a contract that he signed, just a letter. Since there was no
consideration for his letter, it's not (in the US at least) a valid contract.
By the way, I would agree about LEGO's feeling after the comcentration camp
thing. That was actually brought up recently in the Brickfilms forum. LEGO
should certainly be sure of the intent of someone when they provide bricks to
them.

P.S. TLC, I'm currently making a really cool movie with LEGOs, a nice family
film. CAn you give me some LEGOs? : )
