16. The problem isn't people deleting scenes from their own DVDs.

It's the "movie sanitizing" business - where businesses like ClearPlay "sanitize" movies Ñ and then RESELL them and keep the profits.

Lines pioneered what is called the ''movie sanitizing" business, which now includes such outfits as Family Flix and ClearPlay. Today, he is the nation's biggest purveyor of recut ''family-friendly" DVDs, having reworked more than 800 of them. About 100 video stores around the country rent and sell Lines's altered versions, and many other people order them online from his CleanFlicks company.
