I know that this may old news to some, but a local news channel had on a report about a service that will take either tape or DVD movies that you send in and make a copy on either tape or DVD that removes swear words, sex and violence.
One site says that they return the original DVD to you, but it is now unplayable.
I can kind of understand why some people might want this, but I am not one of them. If you want a censored version of a movie then just wait till it's on regular TV and record it, otherwise isn't this against the law. I am sure that neither the director or studio has given these companies permission to do this. And these companies are getting paid for this service. So in my mind they are nothing more than video pirates.
I can't understand why the studios hasn't done anything about these companies.
The two sites I found on the net are as follows.
http://www.cleanflicks.com/
http://www.ok.com/
This post is in no way advocating this service or any form of video piracy. If the Forum Administrator wishes to he can delete this post.
I just wanted to discuss this and see if this is legal or not and what other members thought about this service.
