High-Definition Porn
» Adult
Pornography and technology have helped each other grow. Adult movies are generally considered to be one of the things that helped grow the early CD-ROM market. (I do remember the days when the likes of PC Magazine had lots of sexy ads in the back.)
High-definition video threatens to make porn stars yucky rather than yummy:
“The biggest problem is razor burn,” said Stormy Daniels, an actress, writer and director.
Ms. Daniels is also a skeptic. “I’m not 100 percent sure why anyone would want to see their porn in HD,” she said.
Sony chooses to play censor:
The pornographers’ progress with HD may also be somewhat slowed by Sony, one of the main backers of the Blu-ray high-definition disc format. Sony said last week that, in keeping with a longstanding policy, it would not mass-produce pornographic videos on behalf of the movie makers.
Sony’s silliness may help the companies behind the competing format. Didn’t they learn from the videotape format wars?
