Downloadable Masks To PGify Movies
from the amazing,-but-true dept
Ron Morris writes "This sounds like something from the Onion, but apparently it is true: CoxNews is reporting on new software that creates downloadable masks for objectionable content in movies like a corset to cover bare breasts or turning steel swords into lightsabers (how is that less violent?). The company is called Movie Mask and Larry King and Marie Osmond are on the board of directors!" I've heard about this before, but don't think it was posted... Now, where's the filter to go the other way? ;)Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
