Smut-Stripping Tech

This is a mistake, plain and simple.

Censorship is always wrong, and always a bad idea. Allowing a third party to strip "bad" things from DVDs so that you don't have to watch the movie with your children just helps reinforce the truly horrible concept of parenting by proxy. If you don't want your children seeing excessive violence or sex, don't let watch the movie. As a soon to be parent, I can't imagine letting some faceless third party company decide what is ok for my children to see or not see. But then again, I can't imagine attempting to change someone else’s art just to make someone else more comfortable.
