“1) Of course public policy should allow CleanFlicks to operate Ã?¢â?‰? it hurts no one, and benefits the people who want to see the movies that way.

2) Of course the redacted copies are derivative works. The redaction indeed adds something (albeit not all that much): it amounts to commentary on particular sections of the film, which says “this section is offensive”.

3) Of course CleanFlicks isn’t reducing the studios’ profits. Anyone who buys from CleanFlicks is unlikely to see the original movie at all.”
