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.

So you would be OK with these companies' original business model where a customer purchases a movie, mails it in, asks for specific cuts, and gets it back cut the way he/she wants?

I think a customer should be able to buy the movie on-line and automatically ask for sanitazaton (as a separate service after it is purchased) before it is mailed to them. That should be perfectly legal.

As long as all temporary copies are deleted so there's no element of redistribution then there's no problem. Once you own a legal copyright to the material what you do with it, as long as it's not unlicensed distribution, is your business.
