New DVD Filter Ensures Kid Friendly Movies
There is no doubt kids these days are watching more television and more movies. And there's a greater chance that kids are being exposed to more sex, violence and foul language.
But President Bush has now signed into law the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act, that just might give parents the tool they've been looking for to limit what children see and hear. It's a new tool for parents who want to say OK to a movie but say no instead because they fear there may be scenes of sex, violence or harsh language.
DVD filter technology now has legal protections backed by the President. The technology allows parents to predetermine what should be skipped or muted in a commercial movie DVD. It won approval from Congress and the White House because parents decide what to take out of a movie.
Bill Aho with Clearplay, Inc, says, "You can watch the movie any way you like. One of those options includes not using Clearplay at all. You may want to watch it differently when you have your 5 and 6 year old around than when you have say your 16 year old in the room."
Clearplay is currently the only company selling filters for DVD players. The movie industry didn't support the legislation, calling it a form of censorship. But the final bill includes protections for the movie industry as well. There are criminal penalties for anyone who records and sells bootleg copies of movies. Also, stiff penalties for anyone who distributes a movie or song before the official release.
Motion Picture Association spokesman Dan Glickman says, "This will permit more good American movies be to be made and shown around America and the world." So whether the protections are for those who watch on the TV screen or make movies for the silver screen - overall the law is getting two thumbs up.
