Ok... This is what bothers me. Copyright is supposed to protect the creators from getting ripped off. So.. if a "legit" copy is purchased for every "edited" copy, then the creators are not getting ripped off. Actually, they are benefiting, as people who might not rent/purchase the R-Rated version can now rent/purchase the PG version. This means MORE sales and not less. This is anti-profit. I don't get why hollywood would push this issue. People who want PG get PG and you can still get your R version? Hollywood makes more money. Additionally, an artist gets a larger audience for their work. What is the point of Hollywood pushing this? I just don't get it!!!!
