Back in June, The Walt Disney Co., Lucasfilm, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Bros. filed a lawsuit against video filtering and streaming service VidAngel, accusing them of pirating and selling copyrighted material for profit.
VidAngel CEO Neal Harmon says that’s nonsense, and his company is prepared to go all the way to the Supreme Court to prove it.
“We refuse to lose this case,” he told Conservative Review.
VidAngel allows customers to purchase a movie for $20 and then choose from a selection of filters that block violence, sex, profanity, and other objectionable content. The filtered video is then available for playback on the customers’ preferred device. Afterward, they have the option of keeping the film; if they return it within 24 hours, they sell it back for $19 in VidAngel credit.
As VidAngel’s website puts it, “You have the choice to watch however the BLEEP you want.”

Hmm, it benefits Hollywood's bottom line - wonder why they're so against it?
Anyway, looks like an interesting service.
