"Really? This is part of the heart of copyright law. If you don't see a problem with this, I can see why you wouldn't have problems with outside sources "sanitizing" movies and distributing them."
Wrong. I can buy a DVD and alter it for my own use in any manner I like and it does not violate any law. I can break it into if I like. If I want to pay someone to do that for me, that should be legal as well.

Because the law distinguishes between doing something to one's one property and not distributing it, and doing something to one's property and distributing it. As MM mentioned above, if you want to sanitize your own movie, one at a time, through an editing service, that would be fine. But they can't alter a dvd, make copies of it and distribute it. It's a clear difference, at least to me.
