To my knowlege, this has the 'tentative' approval of the organisers.
The video (as well as showing pretty much every rider, as they are full length films) does go to great lengths to promote the cause and has interviews with many of the organisers too. It is, however, sold for profit. I have never seen a full video, but I am pretty sure it does not 'dwell' on certain body parts.
Philly vid is here, but I cannot see a preview?

It might be a good time for somebody here to get a copy, before the lawyers get stuck in!

As you said, I think the distinction is that it's done in cooperation with the organizers. Also, I believe vivrenue's mission--profits notwithstanding--is to promote naturism/body freedom, which syncs nicely with the WNBR agenda.
And as far as the "interviews" go, I can't help but wonder if this wasn't just a misunderstanding. I don't want to defend slimy profiteers, but there was some discussion on the facebook site that the interviewers identified themselves and handed out business cards--some said they knew who they were talking to and some said they didn't. And obviously if you're naked someone has a camera and microphone in your face, it's understood you're going to appear somewhere. Maybe they thought it was just going to be a youtube video, etc., rather than a somewhat sensationally marketed DVD.
Again, this is where the gray area comes in, but I think all three of us agree the filmmakers are on the wrong side of that line.
