"Does someone pirate DVDs and put the proper UPC on them?"

Yes. That's called counterfeiting.

And by the way yes, I understand how commingling works, and Amazon says they will not do it with DVDs. I understand that Amazon says they can trace who provided the goods I receive. That protects Amazon. It does not protect me.

No, Amazon's guarantee protects you:

I would rather buy from a merchant that does not ship me counterfeit goods.
