A DVD PLAYER THAT 'CLEANS UP' MOVIES
Friday, April 9 2004

Clearplay, the Salt Lake City, UT company that aroused Hollywood's anger when it began removing scenes of sex, violence and swearing from its customers' home videos, now has a new weapon in its arsenal -- a $79 DVD player, manufactured by RCA and sold in Wal-Mart stores that has been programmed to skip over or mute possibly objectionable scenes in over 500 movies. Although producers of the movies had previously maintained that Clearplay had violated their copyrights by bowdlerizing their movies, the new player does not alter the product at all. Clearplay argues that the new technology simply provides viewers with a different way to play movies they already own and is no different from a fast-forward button.
