There are a few options where one can still buy edited movies online.
However, in most cases the editors and sellers and rental shops have been forced to go underground. Either they deal with members who are on their preferred customer lists from prior years or they operate in small, conservative communities with no visible web presence, simply out of retail store outlets.
Some of the last known edited movies are simply people reselling their old edited movies from before the landmark court case handed down in Colorado in 2006. In other cases, home users who are creating copies for their personal use are selling off their inventory of edited movies, and in some very rare cases commercial websites have begun selling edited DVDs in an attempt to do an end run around the court case ruling, while relying on fair use doctrine in the existing copyright laws which allow schools and people using copyrighted material strictly for educational uses, more leeway in presenting what would otherwise be copyrighted material to students.
If you intend to buy edited movies online it is obviously best if you’ve worked with the vendor before as editing quality and shipping and customer service levels can vary greatly between vendors. If you have never purchased DVDs from a particular vendor before see if you can’t get some positive comments from friends, family, other members of your church, or just people you ‘know’ online. See what their quality of service is. Make sure they have customer service numbers and someone you can reach either by phone or email. It’s best if they have both and a responsive customer service staff in case something goes wrong with your order or shipment.
Some people are attempting to run online stores with edited DVDs from outside the continental US, however, again, in most cases these are just people attempting to liquidate old inventory or sell off existing movies they have from pre-2006 and movies made for personal use.
