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.

In a shameless example of a judge getting starstruck by Hollywood hotties like Martin Scorsese, Judge Richard Matsch of Denver (Denver?? whatever...) has ruled that making movies clean is a dirty business. So from now on movie goers can enjoy their smut in the privacy of their own home whether they get off on it or not.

It's a happy day for filth!

and a sad day for uptight repressive weenies everywhere

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?"
