Reasonable Requests or Censorship?

The requests to make cuts in the film "Merchant of Venice" are one thing. Items like these are reportedly cut from many films depending upon what rating they want to go for.

Of more concern to me is the last paragraph:

"Funding was delayed until about a week before shooting was finished, in part because banks required a document to be circulated and signed among 17 groups of lawyers certifying that the writer - William Shakespeare - and his descendants had no lien on the picture."

Lawyers and liability... yet again.
