Senate Bill 167, which is heading to the president for his signature, would protect those who manufacture and use such technology from running afoul of copyright laws.
Movie studios have complained that the technology is an unauthorized editing of their work and companies that produce such filters should pay the studios a licensing fee. Parents say they just want to protect their kids from adult content.
The AP says companies such as Utah-based ClearPlay are selling DVD filth filters for $4.95 per month.
