Hang on, didn't we see the same thing with VHS/BetaMax? I seem to recall that Sony wouldn't allow pr0n on the superior BetaMax format - this in the end nailed the coffin on that format.... Could we see the same thing here?
Yep we could indeed
Can you spell corporate suicide?
I mean, as undesirable as porn may seem, it makes a lot of money for all involved...
Blimey thats thats a terribly high horse.
I have never bought a product that restricts me from what I see. Parental Controls are obviously fine, but Ipods are out and so are Blu-Ray now. It doesn't matter what you may personally think of an activity if its legal then there should be no restriction on seeing it.
And yes one of the reasons BetaMax failed was the access to adult material, there were others but surely you wouldn't want to do the same again!?
I can't read 'Games' headlines at work, can someone post the actual news link?
Google brings up articles that claim both ways (Adult content goes blu-ray) for example
your link is to an old article.
the blu-ray backing porn studios were denied access to pressing facilities, as those facilities were warned that porn would mean losing their licenses. see http://www.sgknox.com/2007/01/11/no-porn-on-blu-ray/ for a translation of the original german article at http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/83524
do you seriously want to see Hi-Def close-ups :stop:
it's detailed enough on DVD - Hi-Def would be enough to put anyone off for life!!
I'm only all for BluRay for data storage - its got a larger maximum possible capacity :)
hd-dvd + porn ftw :D
seriously tho, id have thought Sony would have dropped morality (its not like they normally have any anyways) just to see their format come out on top....if youll excuse the pun ;)
Not 100% true, AACS has been cracked, but you still need the disk key to play it, and you'll need to be able to pull that out of the memory on a per movie basis. Once the studios realise what program is being used to do that, they'll stop the disk from being able to be played on that version of that software by changing the keys in such a way that you HAVE to update it.
I believe PowerDVD is the application in question at the moment.
But isn't keeping the key in memory an allowed/accepted part of the AACS standard?
