Most HUD for cars have an apparent focus somewhere near the front of the car for the exact reason you brought up. I would assume that a HUD for a motorcycle would do something similiar.
Broadcasters were given an additional allotment of 6mhz for broadcasting DTV, they are not required to broadcast in any of the HD standards. During the transition from NTSC to ATSC broadcasters will have two 6mhz "channels" to use.
Current FCC mandate states that broadcasters must cease thier transmission of analog signals when 85% of their market CAN receive ATSC or by the end of 2006, whichever comes first. There is no HD broadcast mandate, broadcasters are free to use their ATSC channel in any manner they see fit as long as it conforms to the ATSC standard.
"They work in a union and most of them don't do anything on the set anyways....they are just the backup in case the head guy takes an extra coffee break."
This level of ignorance indicates that you obviously have never been on a set and have no idea about what goes on during the 15-16 hour days that we work for months at a time.
Actually, we crew members do beneift from residuals. The health and pension funds of the local unions involved in making the movie are partially funded by residuals from any given movie based on its gross sales.
The issue isn't so much about censorship as it is about copyright infringement and fraud. CleanFlicks has no legal right to edit and resell copyrighted works. It's that simple. When you purchase a DVD/VHS you do not *own* the movie, you have purchased a license to view the movie for an unlimited amount of time and unlimited amount of viewings. You have not purchased the right to show the movie for profit or alter the content and redistribute it for profit. TV and so called Airline versions of motion picture licenses are quite different than private viewing licenses.
The DGA has been joined by the WGA and I would expect SAG to join them soon.
