The regularized spelling of words is a business process. Patenable.

Then patent it, but that's completely separate from copyright. You can usually tell someone who doesn't know IP law at all by the way they mix up patent, copyright and trademark.

We have used Clean Films for some time and I just got this reply to an email I sent to them.



Hello Tom,

Thank you for contacting CleanFilms.

Since you have sent back the Monster-In-Law DVD already, we have now just removed it from being checked out to your account. Unfortunately, we are not sure if we will be able to continue doing business at this point. We have just lost a legal battle against several Hollywood producers and may be forced to stop doing business. Our attorneys are talking with the Hollywood Studios and hope to reach a mutually beneficial understanding. We still are not sure what the outcome of this will be, but we will likely not be able to continue providing content edited movies.

Thank you for using CleanFilms.

Sincerely,

Customer Service



I will miss their service if they have to fold.
I will not watch the filth from Hollywood... but there are a lot of older films that contain good morals and no perversion or profanity that our family can enjoy.
Hollywood is next to worthless today for creating good films that appeal to our "higher calling".
There are a few exceptions, but not nearly enough!

The two have come to overlap. Yes, I despise current "IP" law, so I don't know it. I like the older concepts. Call me "retro", but I make no demands on others that fall in category hypocritical -- such as one who freely borrows from Noah Webster's IP with a song and dance as payment.
