The Family Entertainment and Copyright Act was signed last week by Pres. Bush making obscenity free edits now perfectly legal in the eyes of the law.

Quoting:
"While the studios would rather have bottled up the legislation that effectively ends the legal action surrounding Utah-based ClearPlay, they ultimately decided to abandon their action because it gave them the camcorder bill and legislation that makes it easier for federal prosecutors to go after counterfeiters who make works available before their public release."

Happy editing!
