"...IN THE COPYRIGHTED MOVIES"

Does it make sense now? I am getting rather irritated arguing a case that is blatantly right yet people will refuse to believe it because of "a liberal agenda." Some things are done because our great country has laws. We whine about how liberals want things changed to fit their own agenda, yet on this very thread I am witnessing hypocrisy on precisely the same concept!

Lets say that I buy a book and it has steamy sex and language and I black it out. Later, I sell it in a yard sale. Am I causing injury to artistic expression of the copyrighted materials?

Lets make this into a real question to give it value in an argument, then get back with OK?

Let's say that I buy a book and it has steamy sex and language and I black it out. Later, I write 100 more books with the content edited out, and I sell it in a yard sale. Am I causing injury to artistic expression of the copyrighted materials.

The whole point is copyrighted materials. If we are using your question, that book has already been paid for. You can black out the whole thing if you choose to do so. But I believe my question will help us compare apples to apples in this scenario.

I have a question for you now, Did OJ kill Nicole?

Then why are you on a board to debate?

Heh....we almost came up with the same example.

One thing to note is that I have little doubt that with a market now demonstrated, you will see studio-produced and legal sanitized versions of DVD movies sold in Utah and other areas with a demand for this in the future.

However, directors and producers will have the option of negotiating permission to do such a thing with studios, as I'm sure they do with permission for the rights for edited airline and TV versions - I'm sure there are directors that have in their contracts that no edited TV or airline versions of their films are to be produced (likely at a serious penalty to their moneymaking ability), but most likely don't.

The key thing is who has the right to make the decisions..the copy "right."

You are such a Rube.

Hollywood laughs at the drug and immigration laws.

But don't violate that copyright law! That takes money out of their pocket.

There's a sucker born every minute.
