I don't think Apple is going to be selling porn. But they will probably sell X rated movies like Last Tango In Paris (or something similar). I see nothing wrong with that as a stock holder whereas I would not be real pleased to see them in league with the Mafia porn people. They may loose a few extreme prudes but that is the media business.

>>Maybe I'm being short sighted but I hate this idea. A porno Apple store? I'm anything but a prude or religious right or anything... but I do think it tarnishes the Apple brand in the minds of many people.<< They already sell songs on iTunes that are labeled "Explicit," though they're not in a special section. I think this approach is the best compromise between outright censorship and keeping objectionable content away from those who might be offended by it. In any case, I really doubt they'll be selling anything hardcore.
