I've never understood the rationale of this. Anyone who has ever watched an edited version of anything knows when something is missing, and it makes for a ... not so smooth viewing experience. I mean, if you know that a movie has violence/swearing/sex in it, why spend money on it, even if it is edited? Seems hypocritical to me.
As for ethics, I don't think it is right, but I don't know enough about copyright laws and whatnot to be able to make an argument for it.
