iPod Why all the porn talk?

This thread kind of explains why the parental control feature has been added to the new version of iTunes :)
 
Lacero...

I know you have probably answered this before, but i have to ask as i haven't seen the answer... who is the young woman in your avatar?

oh and yes, porn makes tons of money, yeah, that.

Actually it's something the schools have been asking for. iTunes has just recently stared to integrate with the distributed control system that Apple developed ( forget the name ). Expect that more controls will be added.

Children as young as 11 or even younger are downloading porn without their parent's knowledge. Shocking!

Yes that might be shocking, but there are children as young as eight who are performing oral sex for/to their peers. :(

I thought we were naughty playing "show me yours, I'll show you mine" in grade school. But oral sex? I didn't even know what that was when I was 8. :eek:

Really. Yes, the iPod can play video. Yes, some videos are pornographic. Why the fascination with this connection? It seem twice daily that MacBytes posts some article or news bit about porn and the iPod. Is it really that interesting? Or newsworthy? Is Belkin going to start selling the iVibrator? Will it simulate the on-screen action?

Bah. I'm in a mood.

It's just that we want to see you on the small screen, too. :D <ducks>

Porn is a gigantic industry. $12 billion in the US. Seems like news to me.[/URL]

The Mobile industry is just aching to get a piece of that pie, just needs to figure out the legal/regulatory stuff.

Porn was one of those key services for 3G
 
C'mon guys. This is no big phenomenon (sp). Think about it:

Porn's been around forever. When the TV (esp cable, satellite) came out, the same thing happened. When the INTERNET came out, the same thing happened. When HIGH SPEED internet came out, the same thing happened (but faster!). Cell phones can view porn (images or short movies). Now that a small computer (the iPod is just an HD [or two] w/ an OS on it) w/ video capability has come out, this should come as NO SURPRISE. If the machine can make an image, it'll sure as hell be used for viewing porn.
The fact that kids younger and younger are experiencing 'adult' themes is digusting, but not surprising. It's hard not to encounter porn when google image searching (or yahoo- whatever floats your boat). The problem being presented is only a problem because people know where money is.

As for the economics of porn, I'm not surprised at all at the figures being presented.
 
Quite honestly the first thing I thought of when they announced the iPod with video was that someone was going to make a crapload of money off selling pron for these things.

Same thing with the iPod photo though, people are like "OMG, people are gonna look at pron on that too!!!11"

:eek: I just learned what oral sex was the other day....8 years old! I was worried about electron orbits and fluid bowel movements, not sex. I can't imagine 8 year old kids performing oral sex on one another....how do they even know what that is or that it is supposed to derive pleasure? :confused: Way to go America, we screwed up yet another age group. Sad.

It's not as good as I had hoped :(
 
Whatever happened to passing notes and kissing on the busride home?

I blame the education system for thinking abstinance is all they need to focus on...

There has to be a program to hide the vids or pics via password. Come on, someone develop it. And yes, I'm leaving to Asia for a few years so I'd like to have some midnight/morning porn for those times when I'm single :eek:
 
i used to work in a porn store, owned by a former production company owner...12 billion is EASY...I don't thinnk you people have any idea of the profits that porn producers make. Even at the retail level the products are marked up 1000% or more (not a typo) and they still FLY off the shelves
