The bottom line is that if it is illegal to scrub movies, we should change the law to make it legal. I bet it would be very easy to get the public to back a change to the law that would allow companies to edit out bad language and scenes from movies. How many people do you know that would be against it? Republicans should jump on this ruling with new law and watch the democrats try to block it (and paint the democrats as anti-family, homo loving, ant-religion, which is hurting the deomcrats now). This is the perfect opportunity for republicans to further paint the democrats as anti-family.

would that law make it OK for books too? And all other products for that matter. Can't just single out movies.

I would be. Copyright holders should make the determination of what versions of their material are out there. I also would want to have to filter through a dozen different edits of a movie to make sure I was getting the one I want, it's annoying enough with the special expanded editions muddying the waters.

You shouldn't change the law to make stealing legal.
