Video iPod Gets XXX Content

You all know that real consumer tech comes from porn, and this year was no exception. What would the hottest gadget this non-denominational winter and year end celebration, the iPod video, be without porn?

Enter Kick-Ass, the adult-oriented purveyor of things you probably can't discuss at work. They have a network of sites, 9 I am told, that all tie in to each other, and offer video and picture downloads, along with a host of other things. Their new foray is into the iPod video world.

Lest you think this is some kind of rinky-d*nk setup, or a test run, let me tell you about how they do it. They have a production facility that does their normal video production, editing and whatnot. The content management system works across their sites, and the new iPod video is integrated into this.

When you master a video and post it, it downsamples and formats the content for the iPod without much extra work. When you post to the sites in the network, it posts to porno4portables on the fly. Basically, now that it is set up, you can access all of the content on the network of sites on your iPod. It ends up looking like this, without the red dots of course.

iPod with Porn
The user interface is very iTunes like, pick your genre, bent, participants, props and whatnot from a category and several lists, and click download. It drops it on your iPod, and you are done. If you don't like that interface, there is a more traditional pics and descriptions list that you can drool over.

The most interesting part is that the porn world isn't the greedy unscrupulous lowlives that the RIAA and MPAA are. They don't try and squeeze every last penny out of you for every new format. Kick-Ass has a 'one price fits all' strategy, ranging to $24.95 a month, and it includes all their sites. When they added iPod services, it was included, not extra, the mainstream content market could learn a lot from these guys.
