I agree with Matsch's decision for the simple reason that these companies are reproducing the films without authorization in violation of copyright laws.

If Hollywood was smart, they'd follow what the record companies have been doing for years --releasing "clean" and "unedited" CDs. Incidentally, Larry Flynt does the same thing --releasing "softcore" versions of his hardcore films for certain markets. He's been able to sell his "soft" films on Amazon.com and I'm sure his wallet is a little thicker as a result.

They are not doing it for the money. Almost everything Hollywood puts out is put out to influence and change minds, and making money is a secondary reason.
