Vivid is bringing porn to Blu-ray, Sony denies ban

by DJ Neawedde | 26th January 2007

As Gizmo Blog says “Back in the 1980s, when VHS and Betamax dueled it out over movie lovers’ wallets, the former won out when Beta turned its nose up at porn.” This is comparable to the HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray format war of late. But now, since Blu-ray apparently will do porn, it’s becoming even harder to tell which format will prevail. Maybe both? And Sony yesterday said it’s not trying to stop adult studios from releasing their titles on Blu-ray.

Here’s what Sony had to say: “There’s no prohibition against adult content,” Lisa Gephardt, a spokeswoman for Sony Corp. of America, said. “We don’t tell people how they can use the licenses they get from the Blu-ray Disc Association.” Sony still has a long-standing policy not to manufacture DVDs with adult content. “Sony disc manufacturing will not manufacture adult titles,” Gephardt said. “We have never done it, and we have no plans to.”

Yesterday, it was officially announced Vivid Entertainment will be bringing “Debbie Does Dallas…Again” to Blu-ray. Set for release March 28 for about $39.95.
