While I share Paul Maloy's dismay at the recent CleanFlicks decision (Readers' Forum, July 12), the court did not rule that "no one can edit their own movies for offensive content." The court ruled essentially that people cannot make a business out of distributing edited copies of movies. Also, the decision could be overturned.
In the meantime, for those who want to skip offensive content in movies, other wonderful products are available and are fully legal under the Family Movie Act of 2005, such as those provided by Salt Lake-based ClearPlay.
