CLEARPLAY PRESS RELEASE (2006)


Salt Lake City, Utah—July 7, 2006

ClearPlay Responds to CleanFlicks Ruling—Disappointed by court ruling against its competition.

Even though it could clear the field of all competitors, ClearPlay would rather have the courts allow companies that edit DVD’s to continue operations. ClearPlay CEO Bill Aho expressed concern over yesterday’s summary judgment ruling from the District Court of Colorado, which favored Hollywood studios and ordered an immediate injunction against CleanFilms, CleanFlicks and other companies that edit and resell DVD’s. "While it may be good for ClearPlay Inc., it’s bad for parents," said Aho. "Moms and dads need all the help they can get to protect their kids, and these companies were providing a valuable service."

ClearPlay’s unique movie filtering technology was protected by Congress with The Family Movie Act of 2005, and was not affected by yesterday’s ruling. ClearPlay works as a feature in a DVD player to filter regular DVD’s from sex, violence and profanity. CleanFilms, CleanFlicks and others sell or rent edited copies of DVD’s, which the courts deemed a copyright violation.

Unless the courts grant a stay of injunction, ClearPlay will have the only product on the market that offers a legal filtered alternative for popular Hollywood movies. The company currently has filters for 2000 movies, with new titles available every week. ClearPlay is also licensing its movie product, as well as other leading-edge parental control technologies, to multiple markets in media and consumer electronics.

Now we can edit and watch movies with my family members without holding the finger on the forward and backward button of remote through an awesome software named" enJoy Movies Your Way ". I used ClearPlay software too, but I had several problems with ClearPlay. All problems were gone away when I got enJoy Movies Your Way which is fully customizable so that anyone can enjoy moives according to his/her wishes. If you could emphasize some of enJoy Movies Your Way's strengths, I would
appreciate it. Thank you!
