Revenge of the "Nice" - ClearPlay has entered the legal briarpatch that also ensnared CleanFlicks, according to a report in Variety (via WP). At stake is whether Hollywood copyright holders have the right to prevent their films from being sanitized of objectionable violence, language or sexual content. Interestingly, the ClearPlay technology works with normal store-bought or -rented versions of motion picture DVDs that must be played on computers also running the ClearPlay software. Pretty cool concept for a bunch of goody-two-shoes. I'm still impressed that my computer DVD player can time-compress movies, allowing you to watch them at a fractionally faster speed without distortion. When is TiVo gonna get that capability? And is Hollywood poised to sue if they do?
