What else were they selling? I haven't been to a comic con in years, but in the pre-DVD days it was mostly obscure anime and old tv shows. (Like the Holiday Special.) I seldom if ever saw anything that was already legally out on video or still in theaters. Of course, in this day and age, the whole show of force may have been a high profile photo-op. Now I have a lurid vision of the Simpson's Comic Book Guy being led off in shackles!
