Actually, this technology doesn't even go that far. It skips past objectionable material based on information downloaded into the DVD player but it doesn't actually edit the DVD. If you take the DVD out and play it on a normal player, the movie you would see is the unchanged version.

Whatever happened to parents screening a movie before allowing their children to watch it?
Well see that's the conservative thing to do.
Now the Republican thing to do is to get Congress to pass a bill to protect one company and a fledgling industry from simple lawsuits over making an idiot box (and anyone that buys one of these things IMO is an idiot) that allows a child to watch an edited movie. An edited movie that if the parent was doing their job, the child wouldn't be watching the movie, edited or not, in the first place
