The Pornographers vs. The Pirates
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.'"
And you thought it was just pirates vs. ninjas?
Clicked pie.
Come on, you were expecting something else in his mouth, weren't ya?
The Pornographers versus The Pirates!
Pirate: Arr! Bend over me matey while I prepare the long guns to pilage that booty!
Porn Star: Oh! Don't pilage MY booty, at least not until my sorority girlfriends come over to help me repel borders! Oh!
Well, it's good to see the pr0n industry finally taking safe sex seriously
...is that porn movies are better acted, the dialog is more natural and they feature less contrived and often more thought provoking plots than most over-hyped 'blockbusters'. That and more titty ;-)

"Holywood" - is that some sort of nasty pun aiming at a profitable male porn star or just a typo?
Do people intentionally buy porn? I assumed the whole industry was funded by IE users accidentally installing premium rate dialers. I guess now that broadband is so popular the porographers need to find another revenue stream.
`buy movies online to burn them from their computers onto DVDs, with some protections included, of course.'
I need to use protection for (ahem) solo-sex now? Oh god! What if it's too late?

Simple question.

This is terrible news! If Pirates are now fighting Pornographers as well as their age-old enemies the Ninjas global temperatures will be sure to rise even further! My advice: buy land in Alaska.
Furthermore, Pornographers are well known for their ability to quickly subvert any new technology for pornographic ends. This suggests that the Robots will soon be enslaved, forming a fearsome Robot Ninja Pornographer alliance! What hope is there now for the noble Pirates? The monkeys certainly won't be any help. How could a mere monkey hope to oppose a Robot Ninja Pornographer?

Quite the connundrum then. The vigilant distrust for all things DRM-related, or the satisfaction of midget on midget fetish porn, with ponies.

Sometimes the Internet isn't all it was cracked up to be -- with moral decisions such as that.

I admit, I took a look.
But only to read the articles.
