  „French owned RCA has announced that it will start shipping DVD players in the United States that will automatically censor offensive language, nudity, violence and other "offensive" content from DVDs that are played on the new player. This was done at Wal-Mart's urging, RCA has claimed. Both Wal-Mart and Kmart will sell the players for $79.“

Score one for censorship... (found using query: censor nudity censorship dvd)

  „I know not everyone is liberal or pro free speech and anti fcc/censorship as they are doing currently. But a product such as this where a group of people edit hollywood movies for content. Taking those decsions from the director and film company are ridiculous.“

Censorship (found using query: censor nudity censorship dvd)

  „However, Sean writes that "this corporate crackdown, while not technically censorship, is only happening because the government is using its muscle to bully the companies into doing the censoring so the feds won't have to." I don't think this is the case. The corporate crackdown seems to be about money: milder shows make sponsors happy, increasing revenue. What will most likely happen is that the cleaner version of something like Infinity Broadcasting's The Don & Mike Show --my personal choice of offensive radio entertainment--will slip in the ratings, which will, in turn, push things back towards where they were before all this hubbub.“

Clearplay (found using query: censor nudity censorship dvd)

  „From what the studio execs have said when talking about ClearPlay, if they had their way, we wouldn't be able to pause, fast forward, mute, or even turn off our DVD players while watching their movies, so that there would be no way of us philistines violating the "artistic integrity" (whatever that means) of their work. The choices that we make with our remotes or our ClearPlay settings hardly "censor" the studio executives, because they still have the ability to produce and release films with whatever content they please. It smacks of hypocrisy that while movie studios are against this sort of technology in DVD players, that it has no problem with providing edited movies for television broadcast.“
