I think that most movies are cut to a PG rating which can still include some swearing and some content that is deemed mature (at least by the standards of these companies). I saw one of these sites advertising their edited movies and they claimed they edited them to a G-rating. Personally, I would have loved to see the G-rated versions of favorites like The Godfather II or Reservoir Dogs or Last Tango in Paris.
I think the difference is when independent companies edit the movies and then sell or rent them for profit, versus a studio's cutting its own movie or allowing a network to edit a movie to comply with FCC regulations.
