Mike B., Jeff: Rumor had it, and Roger Ebert stated he believed it, that Warner acquiesced to the largest video chain's policy of not stocking unrated titles in its stores, and thus forced the digital censorship on EWS in order to achieve an R rating--which they said the director approved. That's the deal. The similarity I see in this discussion has to do with a retail giant being able to influence the artistic decisions of a record company or a studio. That's the tie-in: retail needs versus artistic decision-making.
Now, as far as I know--but don't quote me on this--WalMart has not invaded nor will it ever invade Poland. At least I don't think so.
