I doubt I'll use this technology myself--I generally prefer to see movies as they were created--but recuts and derivative works can be works of art in and of themselves.
One could have use this technology to create "Star Wars--the Phantom Edit", for example.

Production companies often create airplane and television versions of movies, and it isn't any big deal. I see no reason why customization of this sort is immoral since no one is required to use it.
- MichaelGG 11y agoYep, they should have a category for "idiocy" and things like that. Parts with annoying characters, or where they spout off nonsense. Some works are far better when they resist the urge to say dumb things. Example: "We tracked the bad guy down" vs "We tracked the bad guy using the Human Genome Project."

- dogecoinbase 11y agoA couple favorites of mine (more on the artistic/creative side than strict restructurings): Mad Max Black & Chrome: https://blackandchrome.wordpress.com https://blackandchrome.wordpress.com Steven Soderbergh's "Psychos": http://extension765.com/sdr/15-psychos http://extension765.com/sdr/15-psychos (Plus multiple other recuts he's done: http://extension765.com/sdr http://extension765.com/sdr )
- marco1 11y agoTo the point! Thank you! Airplane versions are just another examples where such filtering is employed already and could benefit from an open format. Just like censored TV versions. Custom edits are possible, and encouraged, as well. And, as you said, nobody is required to use it. I really didn't expect these accusations of immorality. Those must be misunderstandings, because one can objectively say that this is not immoral in any way.
