Adult Entertainment Antes Up In DRM War
At the recent adult entertainment awards, host Greg Fitzsimmons highlighted the deep relationship between the internet and pornography stating "'The Internet was completely funded by porn,' he said [...] And if it wasn't for the Internet, he added, 'you guys would be completely out of business.' The audience, packed with porn actors and adult entertainment moguls like Jenna Jameson and Larry Flynt, roared with laughter." Now it appears that the adult entertainment industry has chosen to ante up in the DRM battle as well. Some companies have chosen to take sides, like Digital Playground who will be supporting Sony's Blu-Ray. Others, like Vivid Entertainment, seem to think that the answer is diversity and will be supporting both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD.
There is porn on the internet? :-O
I disagree. Without porn, there would presumably be more children...
I watched Orgasmo like, five times! I know what DVDA is... but what is DRM? --shudders--

It figures that when given the choice, the Porn Industry would opt for a threesome.

I mean, come on:
"Yeah, the music rocked, but the grunts and moans weren't all they could have been."
-or-
"The plot was amazing! I never knew what was going to happen next!"
Here's why...

Ancedotally, I pay for internet access to get information, play games and communicate with my friends.
I pay for a usenet feed to get porn.
What was the question again?
Dude. You owe me a keyboard!
If [...] a hole exists, our users [...] find it.
Quite appropriate, given the business you're in.

...who thinks it's ironic that we'll see Blue Movies on a medium dubbed Blu-Ray?

Ah, them were t'days, when 12 titles seemed like a large porn collection...
Well, it goes without saying that you need a fat pipe to succeed in the porn industry.
for a second there i thought these were some drm schemes i hadn't heard of.. only to search and find out these were gay porn publishers, doh! hope work didn't see that!

Think of the benefits that HD porn will offer:
"Wow, I never knew Jenna Jameson has all those in-grown hairs from shaving her coochie!"
"Dang, that dude has a dingleberry hanging!"
"Did you see that! What a scar under her armpit from the implant surgery!"
And so forth and so on.
I think HD will make porn look worse, not better...low-def analog tv has a way of hiding the wrinkles, so to speak.
What's really interesting, however is that porno DVDs will have DRM embedded. Currently, they are not encoded, and how many DVD burners has that sold? More than a few, I think.
And often times we liberally use alcohol to reduce that definition a bit.

Are you currently aware of what happens when you type "Spongebob Pikachu Porn" into a google images search.

Our vendors like us because we find obscure bugs that no other company is capable of finding
Being surrounded by mountains of high quality ass probably kinda wins you some friends too.

So the 'p' in ARPA is for porn?
The joke's on you; Exactly Four Inches Long's new album "Facetime" has gone platinum in the Asia/Pacific market, so it is, in fact, quite big in Japan.
Maybe Al Gore invented the internet to supply Bill Clinton with porn...hmmm
It all makes sense now!
