Bill Aho, CEO, ClearPlay, Inc.

ClearPlay, Inc., is a Salt Lake City, Utah-based company that makes products that allow viewers of DVDs to tailor their own viewing experience as they see fit, by allowing them to mute or skip on-screen material that they object to watching or listening to.

While still technically the object of a lawsuit by the Directors Guild of America (DGA) and 13 individual directors, and of an amicus curiae brief from the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), most observers believe that ClearPlay now has a clear path to offering its filtering solution to customers who want it.

Etopia Media's Entertainment Technology World spoke this afternoon with Bill Aho, CEO of ClearPlay, Inc., about his company, its technology, and about what he sees as the right of each viewer to determine for themselves, in the words of Bob Seeger, in "Against the Wind," "What to leave in, What to leave out."
