Ethically I think that destroying someone else's artistic vision and profiting off it is sleazy. I'm pretty sure that it's illegal to sell copies of movies that you don't own the rights to, edited or not, so I'm not sure that they have any standing there either. And all that aside, I don't understand why people who don't wish to see the content present in the original would want to see edited versions of the same film. The Godfather wouldn't make very much sense if you took out the violence, swearing, and organized crime.
