A proposed bill would allow parents to use new technology to edit DVD copies of movies, cutting out any scenes or words they find offensive.
Hollywood filmmakers are against the law. They’ve already sued companies which help people edit scenes out of DVDs, saying the practice is against copyright laws. The proposed legislation would bypass those laws.
A similar bill has already passed the U.S. Senate. If the House passes the bill, it will go to President Bush for his signature.
