Back in July, a Colorado judge ruled that editing other peoples’ films and then selling them on is illegal. This ruling brought an end to DVD censorship company CleanFlicks.

Now San Francisco-based Cuts Inc. thinks that they have found a way around the ruling with a software product - currently being offered free - which uses an online database to censor the film on the fly without leaving a copy of the censored film. The database is built from ‘cuts’ which can be uploaded by users of the system.

Whether this approach is as legal as the company claims remins to be seen but the idea of choosing to have your viewing experience manipulated by the most easily offended srikes me as bizarre, to say the least.
