You are talking about fraud. In the case of the edited movies, there is no fraud involved. AFAIK, they are clearly labeled as being edited version. Nobody is trying to defraud anyone into thinking it is the original cut.

That's assuming the studio's themselves did the editing. You and others like you are clearly looking for ways to edit an unedited movie, knowing it's filled with "dreck", "souping it up" to your standard, without the studio or the director's knowledge or blessing.

On the contrary. I think they should be edited to include more "dreck". I think every movie should be modified to open with a hi-definition THX version of the Fast Times at Ridgemont High scene of Phoebe Cates leaving the swimming pool. That is just for starters....
