DGA files lawsuit against CleanFlicks et al

The Directors Guild of America has filed a lawsuit requesting a permanent injunction against several companies which distribute unauthorised versions of films that have been re-edited to remove "objectionable" content (nudity, sex, violence, swearing, etc.). The most prominent such company, CleanFlicks, filed its own lawsuit against the DGA last month. The New York Times ran a long article surveying this copyright and censorship battleground.
