iPorn:
I was having a conversation with a friend the other day about the porn industry. I have nothing to back this up, but anecdotal evidence seems to suggest that the porn industry can bring some pretty serious pressure to bear to influence standards of things like the current DVD format battle. Further, it's arguably a fact that they *did* decide that VHS should 'win' over Beta back in the day.
Again, uttetly anecdotal...
This situation is a little difference since Apple owns the hardware and the software that powers the iPod and I can't see Steve Jobs blessing the distribution of porn over iTunes. However, I think it will be interesting to see what (if anything) the porn industry will do to try to get into the game.
