Debbie Does HD
Blu-ray is going to become the Betamax of the digital disc era because, frankly, it won't play dirty.
Blu-ray backer Sony Corp. blocked manufacturers from producing porn DVDs in that format -- a move that some say has pushed adult film studios into the camp of HD-DVD camp led by Toshiba Corp.
Steven Hirsch, founder of Vivid Entertainment Group, said Walt Disney Co. also refuses to use DVD makers -- known as replicators -- that press porn titles.
This makes finding a Blu-ray replicator willing to alienate Sony and Disney almost impossible for porn studios because the format requires costly new equipment and there are only a handful of replicators able to make such DVDs.
What was Sony thinking, exactly? By shutting off that source of video they were going to save the world from porn?
