Good! Films are pieces of art, and the director and producer should have the say as to whether they can be tampered with.
Television has edited for time since the beginning.
Even those handful of movies that truly are art have been edited for television. I was pleased to see "Citizen Kane" and "Gone with the Wind" uncut for the first time on cable in recent weeks. I agree it is preferable for movies of that caliber to see then entire work.
By and large though, most motion pictures are just another product to be marketed.
I am convinced that most nude scenes in movies are filmed in order to satisfy the voyeristic predilictions of the directors. And 99% of the curse words in movies are wholly unnecessary. It is as if the only adjectives the writers know start with "F" and end with "K" or "ING".
Most of the truly great movies contain no curse words and no nudity. They contain a lot of intelligent dialogue using the Queen's English.
Most of the newer movies must be "sanitized" before they are released on television, and the television versions are often much better than the origianals. In order to make up for the lost time from all the cuts from the curse words and nudity, they add scenes which were left on the cutting room floor.
Don't tell me that the new movies are pieces of art. Most of them are trash. They reflect the morality and the artistic vision of the hollywood crowd. IOW they have no sense of morality and no sense of art.
You are right on the copyright law issue--Clean Flicks is probably infringing. But the vast majority of films are formula, focus-group crap. It's sad the directors can't get past their silly egos and allow parents to control whether some of that crap makes it to their kids.
It's interesting that the directors and studios generally have no problem having their films edited for TV but not for inappropriate nudity, language etc.
