When Revolver Entertainment came out with their behind-the-scenes of Rob DVD they probably thought people would be so "Robsessed" - the title of the DVD - that they wouldn't care where the information came from or the fact the DVD was unauthorized.
A rep for Revolver says it's creative filming.
"The documentary features people Pattinson’s worked with talking about his life, as well as 'industry commentators' and 'a couple of diehard' fans," says Revolver.
The "Robsessed" DVD, costing $19.99 and sold on the Revolver website, was challenged by website police station,GossipCop, when fans of the GC website brought the ordeal to their attention.
"No one we spoke to in the Los Angeles office would say anything beyond asserting that the 'content' of the DVD is completely original," writes GossipCop on their site.
Adding, "We find the unauthorized and often invasive exploitation of stars for profit to be heinous, especially when, as in this case, those stars have been particularly scarred by interactions with the media."
The 23-year-old Twilight hottie makes the girls go crazy and because of the media attention surrounding Rob (and his speculated relationship with Kristen Stewart), the star said it's overwhelming.
"I was getting really paranoid. But then I realized that if tomorrow I say, 'OK, I've had enough we're stopping everything,' it won't change anything. Might as well try to accept it and stay Zen as I have no control over it. It's not always easy. But whining won't change anything."
While Kristen Stewart has told the media she feels the fan pressure and inability to have a "normal" life is fleeting, that doesn't mean fans don't have their backs now.
"We’re very encouraged to see fans stand up to shameless profiteering," writes GossipCop. "Especially when the offending party has wronged not only the celebrity, but also the fans who put time and effort into content without intending to make a dollar from it."
