The idea is they'd revoke liscences to encode on the technology for people that print porn on discs.
But that sentiment might be a result of off-the-record whispers, or whatever... maybe it's just the fact that that's esentially what they did with Beta Max (which they also owned the technology on).
There's people out there reporting that Sony doesn't plan on 'banning' porn on blu-ray after all...

HD-DVD's been out longer. Sony's Blue-Ray's more expensive, but seems to have more of a backing behind it at present.
I dunno... personally, I wouldn't bet on anything Sony puts out. I have several issues with the way they run their company that I won't bother going into here.
Well, maybe I'll go into one of the issues: Sony doesn't exactly smile on our industry - aside from the whole Beta fiasco, they've made it apparant many times over they frown on their products being used for adult-oriented material... why we would expect that to change if we help give them the edge in this technology war is beyond me. Already, several big studios are signing deals for blu-ray production, and it kinda makes me feel we're hanging ourselves in different respects...
if I buy anything for personal use, it'll be an HD-DVD player - at least until a standard is decided.
