Blue-movies on Blu-ray

The struggle between the rivalling formats - HD-DVD and Blu-ray - has run in to yet another strange twist. Much to the delight of self-proclaimed experts in the blogosphere, that’s seizing the opportunity to sound like intellectuals. According to an article in Ars Technica the pr0n industry has decided to go with the less expensive HD-DVD format. This inevitability brought up the old format feud between VHS and BetaMax. A story nobody remember or care about. The fact that they didn't have an unlimited source of hardcore pornography in the 70's just by typing in a search on google doesn't seem to matter.
The story also hit the wire which seem to focus on that "Sony had ruled porn as unworthy of a Blu-ray license" in their follow-up. They too draw the conclusion that "[T]he porn industry [...] pioneered commercialization videotapes and the Internet". The fact that Blu-ray is superior to HD-DVD, and vastly inferior to the Internet, doesn't matter. If you feel out of touch and don't know shit about what kind of people it is who - seemingly - control the home entertainment industry, I suggest you read True Porn Clerk Stories.
