CleanFlicks selectively moral

Published: Tuesday, July 11 2006 12:00 a.m. MDT

The determination of CleanFlicks to continue its editing of movies despite a court ruling that doing so violates copyright is quite an exercise in selective morality. The simple fact is that creators have an internationally recognized right to have their work seen only in a form to which they have agreed.

Is it OK to edit out sex and language? Try the opposite. Would it be OK to edit some nudity and profanity into "Mobsters and Mormons" or "Church Ball"?

There's your answer.
