News story regarding raunchy content on podcasts:
A report in Friday's Wall Street Journal reveals Apple is offering access to "raunchy sex banter, erotic storytelling sessions and reviews of pornographic sites" through podcasts links via iTunes.
"As podcasting reaches a more mainstream audience, the more risque audio shows -- and Apple's role in distributing them -- could come under greater scrutiny," wrote WSJ reporter Vauhini Vara, although she quoted no one openly criticizing Apple or complaints from religious groups.
The report points to two podcasts -- "Fetish Flame" and "Open Source Sex" -- as podcasts containing openly explicit sex talk. Podcasters argue that by labeling their shows as "explicit," they should be free to say whatever they want. "I don't have to censor my language or anyone else's language," said Ms. Blue of "Open Source Sex." "It's like the dog is off the leash."
But for Apple, one analyst cautioned the computer company should be careful. "Apple needs to be careful to protect its brand here," said Ted Schadler, an analyst at Forrester Research. "The editorial function is just getting more and more important."
