Sony says no to blue movies on Blu-ray, so will HD DVD win?
Reports say Sony wants no blue movies on Blu-ray discs, giving HD DVD ?a leg up? on adult content in high def. But the Blu-Ray Disc Association says ?there is no specific anti-porn? mandate. What?s going on? The legendary battle between Betamax and VHS tapes were said to be decided on two things ? the first being the cheaper licensing costs for VHS technology from JVC, the second being that Sony didn?t want porn to be distributed on Betamax tapes.
We all know that VHS won in the consumer space, while Betamax was relegated to professional use only ? where it is still in wide use today, especially in TV production circles, despite the consumer move towards hard disk drives and DVD discs to record video.
