By producing - without permission - altered versions of intellectual property, censors are effectively pirating directors' and studios' work, the lawsuit argues.

Clearplay hopes to escape through a loophole: instead of making new versions of films, it argues, its technology is simply another way of playing the existing movie - no more an abuse than a viewer fast-forwarding a tape in his own home.
They are not altering the movie in any way. If you play it in a normal DVD player it will not exclude anything. It's just the MPAA trying to jump on the opportunity to make a buck.

Hollywood has been castrated enough lately, this is a way for them to make what they want and avoid some consumer complaints.
