I think those suggestions are silly, so I've come up with this karaoke analogy to poop on them.I'm not certain you need to analogize to karaoke in order to prove the legal point. As for how people react to it, I think MovieMask is distasteful because it does one thing and one thing only: elminates whatever it (or its programmers, rather) have decided is somehow "bad." Unlike karaoke, which can result in a infinite range of performances from people (wonderful, bad, sarcastic, romantic, etc.), MovieMask has a single pre-defined moral position that it attempts to implement. As such, they're not even remotely the same thing. Karaoke is more like Adobe Premiere, allowing for a wide range of modifications. MovieMask, however, is more akin to your mother making you close your eyes during the "bad" parts. It's not surprising to me at all that people find this to be a distasteful use of technology.
