For the past few years some companies have offered the ability to skip parts of movies due to swearing, sex and violence. A US judge recently ruled that practice illegal. “Judge Richard P. Matsch decreed on Thursday in Denver, Colo., that sanitizing movies to delete content that may offend some people is an ‘illegitimate business.’” He also praised their motives to stop the “infringement because of its irreparable injury to the creative artistic expression in the copyrighted movies.” Apparently the practice began in 1999 when one company removed a scene from Titanic. The companies vowed to continue the fight.
