In short a mormon in Utah is editing movies by himself, removing some questionable and then renting them to others. I´m linking to one of the articles (there are several out there). http://www.townhall.com/columnists/b...20010212.shtml .

Well I think that's OK, if a particular community finds certain things offensive and someone is editing films to serve that community then it's fine by me, as long as those renting them are aware that they are edited versions I don't see a problem.

Arnabas, the girl in your sig is gonna end up with black eyes and a bad back, she could use some underwired support

To be honset, I did not even know mormons had televisions and VCRs.

Anyway, who was time for watching flicks when one has 18 kids, 5 wives (and god forbid 5 mothers-in-law)

And I´m not against the idea at all. But shuoldn´t the company owning the movie be responsible for the editing? It´s obvious they can make some money of the idea

I know that video stores can buy edited version of movies to rent. Guess even the edited version show too much.

Before anyone else says anything that may offend anyone, my gran was a Mormon, and there are several Mormons here at IW too, so think before you post folks.

Actually as far as I understand it, it will most likely be considered illegal eventually. Mormons are meant to obey the law acording to their religion but the polygamy issue of religion above state shouldn't hold here.

If they don't like watching some of the movie - then don't watch all of it! Aren't they supporting the industry that produces the 'filth' they have to edit out?

The issue here legally, is about Adaption and Arrangement. In music, works shall not be adapted or arranged without the writer's permission. This obviously is limited in home use (ie: you can do what you want with as long as you don't lease or sell it)

What he is doing is altering the work, making money off it and missrepresenting the creator. Three laws broken at least. Why bother? Just don't watch it...

You are thinking of Quakers, not Mormons

You are thinking of a church that used to call themselvs the Reformed Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (RLDS)...which are a break-off sect that believe in plural marriages. I believe thier home-base is in Missouri. I do not know what they are calling themselves these days, but they do not share the beliefs of the Mormons.(LDS) Mormons do not practice plural marriages.
