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.'"

So this is how it turns out

[Svippy]

And you thought it was just pirates vs. ninjas?

In the porn CEO's mouth

[LoonyMike]

"I'm gonna fucking kill these pirates!"

Come on, you were expecting something else in his mouth, weren't ya?

Now there is a porn video I'd watch...

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!

Protections?

[shellbeach]

with some protections included, of course

Well, it's good to see the pr0n industry finally taking safe sex seriously ...

The REAL scary truth for hollywood...

[Anonymous Coward]

...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?

[obli]

"Holywood" - is that some sort of nasty pun aiming at a profitable male porn star or just a typo?

Intentional purchases?

[telchine]

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.

What is this world coming to?

[EdMack]

`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?

Re:The REAL scary truth for hollywood...

[Opportunist]

NOW I know why porn is so frowned upon by politicians and bible fanatics alike.

It's thought provoking. Yeah, that's it!

Re:Holywood?

[Opportunist]

Sounds like a Christian porn movie.

Simple question.

How many of you just couldn't resist clicking on the parent's home page?

Pornographers and Ninjas find common cause!

[TempeTerra]

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?

Re:Hollywood should copying

[LittleBigLui]

What exactly is fake in porn movies ?

Tits, orgasms, enjoyment, cum, ...

Re:Obligatory joke.

[Moqui]

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. :)

Re:So this is how it turns out

[Anonymous Coward]

Apartently, it's pirates vs. naked ninjas.

I admit, I took a look.

But only to read the articles.
