CLEARPLAY PRESS RELEASE (2002)

Salt Lake City, Utah—Sept 21, 2002

ClearPlay Denounces Hollywood Attacks—Company labels Directors Guild lawsuit "predatory" and "anti-family."

ClearPlay Inc., the leader in enhanced parental controls for movie filtering, has issued a statement regarding legal proceedings that have been initiated by the Directors Guild of America, aimed at ClearPlay as well as other companies that provide similar benefits.

"The DGA's claims against ClearPlay are wholly without merit," said Bill Aho, ClearPlay's Chief Executive Officer. "While other companies in our industry may utilize methods that are legally controversial approaches, ClearPlay does not. Banning ClearPlay filters is like trying to ban the fast-forward or mute buttons on your remote control."

"ClearPlay has worked with the leading entertainment copyright attorneys in the nation to ensure that the company does not violate copyright law, and has continued to respect the properties and rights of the studios, directors and artists. ClearPlay is simply an advanced parental control feature. ClearPlay does not sell or rent edited movies. The company does not reproduce VHS or DVD's. ClearPlay does not add unauthorized audio or video content to movies, nor does it contemplate doing so in the future. In fact, we don't even use box art or movie clips in our website or promotional materials."

"Given our scrupulous adherence to copyright law, these actions by the DGA against ClearPlay can only be viewed as predatory and malicious harassment."

"The very idea that the DGA should be allowed to control how families watch movies in their homes is an outrageous affront to personal rights and civil liberties. Every organization in this country that is concerned about parental rights, freedom of choice or the influence of media in the home should take a firm stand against these anti-family efforts."

ClearPlay provides software that allows consumers to view DVD's—which they purchase through conventional retailers—free of unwanted content.It gives consumers the ability to skip and mute over graphic violence, sex, nudity and profanity if they choose. ClearPlay filters do not touch, alter or change the DVD in any way.

ClearPlay offers its DVD-ROM software to consumers via its website, www.clearplay.com, and through various affiliates, doing business across the U.S. as well as internationally. The company offers filters for 300 popular movie titles.
