So I guess that means I'm breaking the law now when I use that "mute" button on the remote to "edit" out words I don't want my kids to hear?
Ridiculous.

Now that is an interesting thought too.
I've previewed many shows and then fast forwarded thru the innappropriate content.

There is a legal difference between selling something and owning it. Here's an example:
If you suffer from aichmophobia (a nifty word meaning fear of knives and other sharp pointy things), you may, after you purchase a Leatherman multi-tool, remove the blade.
But if your super money-making idea is to buy Leathermans, remove the blades and sell them at a profit in Britain, the Leatherman Co. will for sure have something to say about it.

No. What you do with the movie in your own domicile is your own business. You can't alter the movie and sell it to someone else. The Founding Fathers believed in protecting patents and copyrights; we should too.
