No Porn On Sony HD-DVD Blu-ray?

Has Sony gone mad? Prominent adult movie producer Digital Playground (site)
says it is forced to use HD DVD instead of Blu-ray, because Sony does not
allow XXX-rated movies to be released on Blu-ray.

It does not matter how you stand to porn. It is here and it is a massive
business. It is also an industry that is an early adopter for new media
technology. VHS might not have won with out the adult film industry adopting
it.

German Heise has interviewed Joone the founder of Digital Playgrounds at the
AVN 2007 show in Las Vegas. Joone says actually said last year he is
committed to Blu-ray. Now they announced four HD DVD titles in the United
States. In the interview Joone says he was forced to use HD DVD, because no
Blu-ray disc manufacturer would make his discs, because Sony was against it
and they would loose their license.

If this holds true, Blu-ray is at a major disadvantage and could fail.
