That does make sense, but here is the problem. Let's say that this company does this, and someone buys the original and sends it in. The purchaser then gets his scrubbed movie back. What is going to stop him from burning a copy of that disc and giving it to his friends? Then his friends giving it to his friends? That is why musicians do not like their music being downloaded. Everyone can get their hands on it and they sell less CD's.

Although I like your approach, Copyright laws could still be infringed

No different than someone making copies of the original, and giving them to friends. You simply are not allowed to copy and give away copyrighted material.

Any copies you make, or have someone make for you, are for your personal use only. Just like it is with the original work.

No problem.

The basic question here is this.

Am I allowed to alter my personal copy of any copyrighted material? Yes or no?

If yes, then I also have the right to contract with someone else to alter my personal copy for me.

If no, the the next step is to outlaw DVD players with mute, FF, and skip scene buttons. Your only option is to turn it off and take out the disk. I know that sound nuts, but that is where this idiotic drek will lead us.

What's to stop anyone from doing that with an original movie from Netflix or Blockbuster? Answer: nothing. So then why should it be any different if the movie comes from CleanFlix than if it comes from Netflix or Blockbuster?
