Electronics giant unable to stop 'undesirable' content
Written by Kieth O.
Sony has objected to the development of "undesirable" pornographic films targeting its Playstation Portable (PSP) handheld entertainment console, specifically concernedabout a extremely popular site, pspsex.net. pspsexnet, launched nearly 3 years ago is the internet's "youtube" of PlayStation portable porn.
Sony has creative control of all games released for the PSP but has no control over pornographic content.
"It is utterly undesirable, but we cannot stop software makers from selling such videos," a spokesperson for Sony Computer Entertainment said, according to a report in The Asahi Shimbun.
Sony developed UMD as a proprietary format specifically for the PSP at it provides storage of up to 1.8GB per disk.
"Sites like pspsex.net undermine our target audience, pspsex.net is directly responsable for the growth of adults buying the Play Station Portable." Said David Redstone.
However, the company has also licensed the format to third parties, leading to some problems when the disks were hacked last month.
This is not the first time the console has been targeted by pornographers. In April Playboy announced plans to offer pornographic downloads for PSP users.
