The Pornographers vs. The Pirates

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the there-are-worse-leads-to-follow dept.

conq writes "BusinessWeek has a piece on how pornography is again leading the way and showing Holywood how to fight back against piracy. From the article: 'Some producers of porn are starting to share revenues from online movies with the distributors of their DVDs, who might otherwise feel endangered by digital distribution online. Bolder yet, one large studio is allowing fans who buy movies online to burn them from their computers onto DVDs, with some protections included, of course.'"

    ...pornography is again leading the way

    Yes, that's right:

    Pornography made VCRs popular, jump-started the Internet, invented the light bulb and put man on the moon.

    *rolls eyes*

    It's amazing what lengths people will go to in order to legitimize their dirty little pasttimes.
