For years, porn was the best predictor of who would win the media wars? VHS or Betamax? Porn went with VHS, so did the world.

DVD or Laserdisk? Porn picked DVD, the rest is history.

Blu-ray or MMD? Guess which one the porn industry picked.

I haven't done the research yet, but I'd be willing to bet they are a similar driving force behind the adoption of streaming codecs.

All media is built on porn.
