The ever-expanding pornography industry is now targeting America's children ? via the wildly popular iPod devices ? in its latest quest for new customers, according to a former federal prosecutor and a veteran government consultant on pornography.

The popularity of Apple's new video-capable portable technology has driven porn industry providers to introduce iPod-compatible video content. Already at least three companies have divisions dedicated solely to adult content for these portable players.

"Like other forms of entertainment, consumers want to watch programming that interests them at their convenience, so we expect that people will watch porn films in places other than the privacy of their bedroom," David Joseph, CEO of several "adult entertainment" companies, recently told Adult Video News.

"Technology gives us the opportunity to provide this service," he added. "We're calling this porn on the pod."

Alarmed at the pornographers' apparent targeting of youth, former Justice Department prosecutor Patrick Truman and Judith Reisman Ph.D., a veteran federal consultant and former Commission on Pornography member, are both warning parents to protect their kids.

"Apple has the responsibility to avoid providing porn content," said Truman, adding "the public (should) turn against them if they do not." Knowing that children are especially vulnerable to the portable forms of transmission iPods can provide, Truman says government should require companies to provide some sort of digital transfer management so parents can control content.

Asked if it planned on providing such safeguards, Apple Corporation responded with no comment.

Reisman sounded an urgent alarm: "iPods will bring pornography into the classrooms, sanctuaries, courtrooms, hospitals, libraries, everywhere. It is well past time for (government regulation) to catch up with runaway technology."
