Clean Flix?

There were no empty seats for me and my friend to move to. I was trapped. I was so going to say something but no matter what I said, I would have totally looked like a demon picking on a poor old lady and a child who didn't speak English. So I bit my tongue.

Out of sight, Out of mind. If we just pretend it isn't there, then it will go away.

I was thinking more of talking while watching a DVD so I could pause it. I abhor talking at the movie theater. I'd tell my kid what 'Shh' means and tell him/her what the proper conduct at a theater is.

I totally agree with that decision. It's about time. Good for those directors...

A federal judge just ruled that these operations are in violation of copyright and that all their redacted DVDs must be turned over for destruction. FamilyFlix has already been shut down. In this article on the decision some practices are made clearer.

1) The businesses purchased a standard DVD for every modified one they made.

2) When they shipped it to the customer they shipped both the standard DVD and the modified DVD.

The ruling seems a little bit weird to me since it is essentially ruling that while the activity itself is legal for the DVD owner it is still illegal to pay someone else to do it for you. Interestingly the software solution I referenced above is legal since it just alters the content between the DVD layer and the monitor without actually editing the DVD. That, to me, seems an distinction without meaning.

I know what you mean. To quote George Carlin:

"Selling things is legal. F**king is legal. Selling f**king is illegal. Am I the only one who sees a contradiction here?"

He also says, "You can Prick your finger but you better not Finger...."

Well obviously this poor fella is a victim of his own desire to help others. Viewing all those hours of sex and violence to filter it for others left him a broken man. It's sad I tell you just sad.
