If I want to buy a copy of a book, cut out some pages, then resell it I have every right to do so. That is all they are doing here. They are NOT buying one copy, editing it and then reselling multiple copies. That would be a clear violation of copyright law.

Uh, I don't think that's the case. At least one of these outfits, Cleanflicks, has a chain of video rental stores. I seriously doubt that they're buying individual copies of each video, cutting out the offensive stuff, then selling or renting that individual copy. Plus they're also selling DVDs, which by their nature means they're making copies.
