Q. Is it legal to edit movies?

A. CleanFilms is a Co-operative rental club. All subscribers to our service become members of the Co-op. The Co-op collectively agrees to have CleanFilms purchase original, un-edited DVD movies in their behalf.

Since technically a DVD is a piece of software, copyright law allows for the owner of the software to make a backup copy of the software. This backup copy can be edited. The Co-op always maintains a 1 to 1 ratio of edited and non-edited originals.

As collective owners of the original, unedited movies, the Co-op has the right to have CleanFilms make family edited backup copies of the originals to edit out content that is objectionable to its members - similar to how you might press mute to avoid hearing objectionable language today. Accordingly, you must subscribe as a member of the rental club before you can rent edited movies.

CleanFilms is providing a service.

I should really learn to stop searching for "Christian Freebies"
