I recently heard an item on BBC radio which seemed to be about this.
Apparently there are people in Utah (I think) who are buying copies
of the videos and editing them individually. This is done to meet
'family values', and while the makers of the films seem pretty
unhappy, the Utah people's argument is that since they are buying the
same number of the original video as they are selling on edited,
there is no breach of copyright.
