CleanFlicks is illegal; Clearplay isn't. But the ultimate result of both services is the same, which one could argue indicates a flaw in copyright law.

My bad. I didn't grasp the distinction between the two

True, but one might as easily argue the flaw runs in the other direction-- that Cleanflicks should not be illegal. At any rate, I don't see who Clearplay could ever be made illegal-- if it was, we really would be on the road to outlawing the fast forward on the remote, and I would have had to watch all of Lethal Weapon 4 to see the fight scene at the end.
