Hollywood Says No to Filtering DVD Player

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the raw-and-uncut dept.

haplo21112 writes "There is a posting over at ZDNet about how Hollywood continues to trample on the American consumer's free use rights. They want to prevent the sale of a special DVD player which can be used to edit out offensive material from a DVD in realtime. While I don't agree with censorship in general, I do believe its everyone's right to do what they wish with their own media."

    I think they are thinking about starting to show advertisements on DVDs preety soon. And if you can filter out selectivecontents , you will be able to filter out ADs too..

    And that would be stealing content.Now we don't want to steal content and deny the HW of its millions (or should i say billions) do we .... ?
