I disagree with the parent comment (see my reply), but this isn't correct either. > That's just the financial side of things. They'd still be tampering with the original piece of content, which most likely isn't what the artist would've wanted. It's culturally important that people are allowed to transform creative works in ways that the author/artist didn't intend or want. Hence parody is allowed. If I were to redact parts of a book I bought in a store and resell that book, it would be legal. It can also even be ethical. The problem with CleanFlicks is that they made their own DVD copy to contain copied, edited video of the original film. It's a copy, and hence infringes copyright.
