Bloomberg Columnist Advocates Apple Sell iPorn
Monday, April 10th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Apple should add an adult entertainment section to the iTunes Music Store (iTMS), and cash in on the huge revenues generated by the Internet porn industry, says Bloomberg columnist Mark Gilbert. He sees the addition of adult-oriented videos as a natural extension of the already successful music and video download service Apple provides.
Music downloads outsell videos at the iTMS, and pornography is just the ticket to bring video sales up in line with music. At least in Mr. Gilbert's eyes, that is. He sees a ripe opportunity for Apple to snatch some of the US$20 billion adult video market.
He also notes that several companies already sell erotic content and the software to load it on your iPod, and says "Apple may as well grab some of that revenue for itself."
To date, however, Apple has maintained a reputation that doesn't typically see its name spoken in the same breath with Jenna Jameson. Mr. Gilbert's thoughts? "IPod [sic] porn, desirable or not, may prove an irresistible temptation to a more profit-hungry Apple."
