ClearPlay Noted As Top Parental Control Product

ClearPlay, the only edited movie service specifically shielded by the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2005, was recently recognized by Top Ten Reviews for having the highest rated product in the movie and TV filtering category.

“ClearPlay is an excellent movie filtering product and service,” noted Top Ten Reviews. And after evaluating usability, the review noted that “the ClearPlay DVD Player is easy to set up and downloading movie filters from the ClearPlay website is a breeze.”

“It’s always gratifying to be recognized,” said Lee Jarman, ClearPlay CFO. “Top Ten Reviews is highly respected for the comprehensive nature of their evaluations and the integrity of their approach. We greatly appreciate receiving their best of class Gold Award.”

FamilySafe Ends Rental Business

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.
