They have Kill Bill: Volume 1 and 2. How the fuck...?! Are the movies like 15 minutes long afterwards or something?

Wow.

Huh? If they're doing it without the studios' permission, I'm amazed, and I'm also amazed they haven't lost the case on summary judgment already.

It's yet another case of the technology making something possible that might not square with intellectual property law. Now, CleanFlicks filed the first lawsuit against the Directors Guild of America when it was making public protests over their bowlderization practices. The DGA countersued, of course, both sides wanting copyright law to be clarified for that kind of activity. Several studios also sued based on trademark infringement by renting or selling an altered version of their movie as the original. In the meantime, the House Judiciary Committee has approved a bill called the "Family Movie Act" to keep businesses like CleanFlicks from being sued for what they do. (After all, when has the House ever wanted to vote against anything that might be construed as promoting sex and violence. Or sex, anyway.) One relatively recent article. (Oddly, I can't find anything about the results of the District Court hearing or the current status of the case. My Google-fu is failing me. :-()
