Clean Edited Movies

It’s same story, different verse for edited movie companies who rent NetFlix style. FamilySafe has ended its rental business, liquidating its remaining inventory. All edited movies available for sale are $20 or less, so its a great time to grab a few good copies before its too late!

Sadly, this marks the end of services providing edited movies for rent. Within a year, we saw the closure of CleanFilms, CleanFlicks, Flick’s Club, and FamilySafe. Family Edited DVDs continues to offer movies for sale, but users can no longer rent edited titles.

Yes, unfortunately the suit decided by Judge Matsch in Colorado resulted in many losers and no winners. As Hollywood’s revenues continue to track downwards, its unfortunate Hollywood did not embrace edited movies in effort to maintain relationships and revenue.

From the AP:

PROVO, Utah — Film editors were back in the cutting room just a few months after a federal appeals judge ruled last year that they could no longer edit movies to make them acceptable family fare.

Thanks to what they say is a loophole in copyright law that allows cuts for educational purposes, some of the companies that were ordered to turn over their inventory to Hollywood studios instead are scrubbing more movies, and other firms are getting into the market.
