That would be Miramax. Viewaskew only owns the Jay and Silent Bob characters. I would venture a guess that this was a bootleg tape of some sorts given to Kevin by the studio who produced the show, and now theyre selling that (or a copy of that).
Though theres alot of legal BS that theyre probably sidestepping here, I see nothing wrong with bootlegs of stuff that is, and will always be, completely unobtainable in any other format...and after a trip to the stash I'd have to think Kevin may agree with me on that one. I just see it as highly improbably that any lawsuit would stem from this one copy of an eons-dead television pilot, no matter how much red tape is being stretched.
