Porn Industry Trials Burnable DVDs

nukular writes "The LA Times has an article discussing porn giant Vivid following the likes of King Kong in allowing users to download and burn movies to DVD. Unlike in the Hollywood plan, these DVDs will be viewable on other DVD players." From the article: "Despite their obvious differences, adult and mainstream entertainment companies face similar pressures in the Internet age. Both are grappling with how to deliver content securely and reliably to devices in a variety of ways, whether it's prepackaged on DVD for TVs or sent wirelessly to cellphones. Both also want to capitalize on digital delivery methods but can't afford to undercut their retail partners: big-box stores such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. for the major studios and mom-and-pop video shops for the porn producers. They also fear online piracy, which the music industry partly blames for its lackluster sales."

I must have missed something. Exactly which aisle in Wal-Mart are the pr0ns kept? I'm pretty sure that even Super Wal-Mart (or whatever it's called) does not have a pr0n section.

The porn industry is at the lead, they led spam.

The porn industry has pushed the internet in both good and bad ways. They pushed up bandwidth, video quality, and computer speed.

I believe that porn is the biggest money maker on the Internet. One spammer that I sued, was making approximately $200k/week on 4 crappy porn sites.

Vivid is a spammer. I received spam from them and they are being sued. For more information you can go to http://www.myspamsuit.com/
