For once, I’m on Hollywoods side!
Normally I can’t stand Hollywood and their bullcrap. The MPAA, their anti-piracy/anti-consumer policies (HDMI and down-res’ing HD DVD), their inability to agree on a single format for HD DVDs, and so on. Well, this time I need to go on record, I support them. What issue you ask? There are these hack shops, like CleanFlicks, that sell “sanitized” DVDs, removing profanity, violence, nudity, and so on – purely based on their own subjective and usually religious zealot driven beliefs. This makes me sick. If you don’t like the movie as the director made, T for Tough. Go rent Bambi or Dumbo if Speilberg, Scorsese, or Redford are too offensive for you.
Well – the good news. These directors sued a bunch of the these shops (sickeningly, there are many) and WON! This judge (U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch )
, who doesn’t even look like he has a DVD player, saw the light of the evil these sanitizers are up to. Read the complete story here – it’s a happy ending
