Apparantley RCA/Thompson & ClearPlay are being sued for breeching copyright & stuff 
Posted: 14:56 Apr 08 2004
Ladies and Gents, I give you... the World's Naffest DVD Player!
I really doubt anyone I know's going to be buying one of these in the near future, I really do!
And here's why: it's a DVD Player that skips "offensive content", or as the site that linked me to the article put it, "every film made since 1952"... making quite a significant chunk of many of my friends' DVD collections very different animals indeed!
*cough*Matrix trilogy*cough*

Dear goddess, how far up their own behinds can the American public get...Oh someone showed a breast...In Italy it would be applauded, here, laughed at but no in America its shocking....oh dear.
I think editing films is a breach of copyright...so hopefully they wont be around much longer, or if they are, then they should be VERY clearly labeled!

It wont work because apart from the 500 mentioned in the article it relies on the DVD videos having the instruction to skip sections.

Regardless of whether it would work on every film - surely the point of ratings is for people to buy films that are suitable to their age group blah blah blah .... 
We've just laughed about this here, as you'd never get to see a complete movie ever - there's bound to be hidden sexual innuendo in most films so even if it isn't "in your face obvious" where do you draw the line
I recall reading last week that it's thought that in the last few years, film without any sex content have pulled more boxoffice revenue in - such films as Finding Nemo, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Love Actually. Now judging by the slash fiction around - where exactly is the lack of prospective sex content? Or is it just that we all have dirty conditioned minds in this day and age

Also, I'm not sure you can say Love Actually has no sexual content when Martin Freeman and that cute little Welsh chick spend the whole film naked and ... well, simulating sex.
