You seem to be missing the point completely. There are people in this world who do not EVER want to see the material that would be edited out of the films. To expect someone to view content that they would deem objectionable as a precondition to viewing the edited version is preposterous. What started this was an offer from a video store to cut and splice a purchased copy of Titanic for anyone that requested it to remove the one nude scene. What was discovered, and then challenged in court by our all-knowing morality police at the **AA, was that there is a market for a service that would offer PG versions of PG-13 and R rated movies. The edits are similar to what the movie industry already provides to the airlines for in-flight movies. It was never about the resale of altered content to the open market as original work. It was simply a service offered to the legal owner of a rightfully purchased piece of merchandise.
