If it worked for cable, it might work for RealNetworks.

The streaming media technology company on Thursday added Playboy to its mix of content partners for its subscription video-on-demand service. As first reported by CNET News.com, RealNetworks has been mulling the addition of adult content as a way to draw subscribers to its RealOne service, similar to the way cable networks have offered steamy programs as premiums to their standard fare.

Yea, I'm sure all the paysite owners with videos just love competion directly from Real.

It it expands the market and gets Arcadia to sue real I'll be they do.
