Gave me a chuckle, despite my nausea. <blockquote>EMC & NetApp's penetration into the adult business has always been flaccid. They have never been able to mount successful sales campaigns into the business. Perhaps Adult Video companies are afraid that their sales would wither if their heads introduced a single point a failure. The cost and risk associated with head failure has driven many adult content companies to balance their loads and services among storage systems providers with great bandwidth and mirrored drives.</blockquote> Just received “anonymously” from someone who does business with adult production companies.

If a person that wishes to buy porn has to buy it in HD-DVD then they aren't going to buy the rest of their media in BluRay.
