Porn: 'Vast amounts' on iPod?

Just last week Wired News reported that the adult industry was "largely staying away" from the new video iPod. This week we learn from Reuters that massive amounts of it will soon be available - and searchable - to video iPod owners. A little-known search engine called Guba is set to offer pornography and other video files (lots of TV shows, which will draw a lot of mainstream traffic) formatted for the iPod. "Guba is a subscription-only search engine that culls video files from the Usenet newsgroups - much of it adult, pirated or both." Reuters adds that it "specifically searches through Usenet's multimedia content, which is not indexed by popular search engines such as Yahoo or Google." Guba says it will offer a "safe mode" to filter out adult content, but there aren't too many kids who won't be able to turn the filter off. So the porn industry is only part of the concern - there's plenty of amateur stuff on Usenet - which means, of course, that the industry will probably follow suit sooner than it indicates.
