YouTube Videos Coming to TiVo Boxes Everywhere

SAN BRUNO, Calif. — Adult entertainers and producers will soon be able to promote themselves directly though consumers TiVo boxes when YouTube videos come to the popular video-recording box.

Owners of a series 3 TiVo box, as well as owners of HD TiVo boxes, will be able to surf, watch and download videos from YouTube's entire library.

Owners of series 2 TiVo boxes will be unable to access YouTube videos because of incompatibility. All consumers who have the right hardware should get an update through their TiVo boxes by the end of the month for version 9.4 of the product's operating software.

YouTube presents adult industry professionals with one of the world's largest — and most precarious — broadcast platforms on which to hawk their wares.

The site's terms of use specifically prohibit adult content and anything copyrighted, but many adult professionals have been able to make use of YouTube's services without running afoul of its administrators.

Adult performer Trina Michaels maintains a video blog on YouTube that chronicles her various activities on and off set. The closest she gets to showing nudity is a shot of her breasts with pasties over her nipples.

Fellow adult performer Nikki Benz has a similar philosophy. Benz maintains a MySpace page, a Facebook profile, a blog and a YouTube channel. None of those web pages includes any content that would explore the boundary of an R-rating in a movie.

"As for anything 'inappropriate' on my page, I don't have any nude pictures of me — only glamour shots, and those are always PG-13," she told XBIZ. "You have to [follow the rules] on those sites. You have to have some kind of responsibility for what you upload."

But for those adult industry members who find no appeal in PG-13 porn, a vast legion of adult video-sharing sites await. Alexa ranks YouPorn.com at 33, with RedTube.com at 48 and XTube.com at 197. Web ranking website Compete.com offers similar results, with YouPorn.com opening a more dramatic lead, and Quantcast.com also returned similar results.
