"It does not matter how you stand to porn. It is here and it is a massive business. It is also an industry that is an early adopter for new media technology. VHS might not have won with out the adult film industry adopting it.While they do qualify that statement with "might not have", the biggest reason VHS won out was because JVC was willing to license the technology -- Sony was not (re: video recording technology). Sony learned from that and made Blu-ray technology available to anyone wanting to license it from them. How'd they do this time around? Ask yourself this question: how many CE manufacturers haven't licensed Blu-ray technology?
German Heise has interviewed Joone the founder of Digital Playgrounds at the AVN 2007 show in Las Vegas. Joone says actually said last year he is committed to Blu-ray. Now they announced four HD DVD titles in the United States. In the interview Joone says he was forced to use HD DVD, because no Blu-ray disc manufacturer would make his discs, because Sony was against it and they would loose their license.
Not quite. There are 5 main Blu-ray stamping facilities. If you stamp (the physical disc production) for Sony or Disney/Buena Vista, their contracts specifically state that the contract will be null and void if that facility begins stamping porn titles. It doesn't say a facility can't stamp porn dics, but it does mean that Sony and Disney/Buena Vista will pull their business if the facility does. There are 4 facilities that are under these contracts -- Joone never says why he couldn't get the porn-friendly facility to stamp Blu-ray discs for him. My guess is that they were too backed up stamping non-porn discs for other companies. The usual porn order is for way less than 5k discs per title: companies like Sony, Disney, Fox, etc wouldn't think about placing orders for 10k discs minimum per title. From a business standpoint, which industry are you going to cater to?
If this holds true, Blu-ray is at a major disadvantage and could fail."
Take a look at CDGirls.com *** WARNING not for prudes or kids *** The company will be putting out Blu-ray porn on their own (they won't be using a stamping facility). How? They made a purchase of about 10 Blu-ray burners and will be making discs the old fashion way -- burning them on their own. No, they can't cater to millions, but they can get High Definition porn out and be ahead of the curve in this industry. On top of that, they're saving some money going this route because they don't have to pay the copy protection fees that are incurred (from the BDA, the DVD Forum gets the fees for HD DVD stamps) when discs are stamped.
