The Seattle Times: Judge rules against film sanitizers
“We’re disappointed,” said Ray Lines, CleanFlicks chief executive. “This is a typical case of David vs. Goliath, but in this case, Hollywood rewrote the ending. We’re going to continue to fight.”
I object to these mental midgets being called sanitizers where a far more effective, and archaic word, exitsts, Bowdlerisation. Basically these companies have decided they have the right to edit, and then profit from , the trashing of art to suit their worldview. This was never a David vs Goliath issue since, and I hate it when I know more about biblical context than the followers of the book, ( hell most of the stories aren’t even in the book but seemingly making up things to fit is the house style) but even if we take it as meaning a small force against a large force I’m puzzled as to “Hollywood’s” initiation of force. As much as I hate “there’s two kinds of people” I’m often going back to “Those that want to be left alone, and those that won’t leave you alone” This company has decided that rather than make interesting and viable movies for their audience of retards it’s better to cut and paste the bits they like, you know the ones with imagination since they lack any.. seriously once you’ve imagined a creator being that has a personal interest in your life there’s not a lot left to apply to creativity.
An Arizona company Family Flix has decided to close shop their site had this message
If you find this to be utterly disturbing like the thousand’s of consumers that support what we believe is a First Amendment Right, you need to take Hollywood’s advice and “don’t watch it”.
The first amendment does not apply to private parties but to THE GOVERNMENT forbidding it from using its power to quell free speech. You can believe you have the right to be entertained.. you don’t.
With Hollywood’s arrogance and billions of dollars they’ve generated through consumer purchases, the studios and producers have legally tried to stop you from viewing content in a manner that supports your standards. They claim you have absolutely no right to purchase something you paid hard earned dollars for and hire a service such as Family Flix to remove content you deem inappropriate. Their response is, “If you don’t like it, don’t watch it.”
Their response is correct. If you’re so into rights check out what constitutes a derivative work. Your right to not be offended does not permit you to break the law anyway aren’t their unborn children needing to be saved? It’s nice to see that they are now going to create their own movies and I can’t wait to find out if I receive a cease and desist order for adding profanity to their work though it’s going to be a parody , hence protected:P
