Understanding the case against Clean Flicks
Drew Clark pens "Bowdlerizing for Columbine?" on Slate and breaks down the ideas and laws behind the great Video/DVD editing scandal currently raging between Utah and Hollywood.
I don't know, but from my view it looks like a clear cut case of copyright infringment. Not that I agree or disagree with what "they" are doing to the films, but just as a matter of law. IANAL and this is not legal advice, but then you already knew that... ;-)
Anytime I hear "Utah" I can't help but think of Sheep on Drugs and their live album "Two for the Show" where one of the band members tells the audience that he doesn't care that, "I can't get the drugs that I want, that I can't get a drink when I want, this place is beautiful! Salt Lake City, you've got it all, you've even got Sheep on Drugs."
