Court Says Editing DVDs for Content Is Illegal
U.S. District Court Judge Richard Matsch ruled in favor of major Hollywood studios by saying that a number of companies operating DVD scrubbing services — such as CleanFlicks, CleanFilms, Play It Clean Video and Family Flix USA — were violating copyright laws. The judge ordered the firms to turn over all existing copies of the edited movies to their respective studios within five days of the ruling. The DVDs will then be destroyed.
