I was watching KTLA’s coverage of the entry line at WWDC the other day and I noticed that someone was throwing little footballs and bundled t-shirts into the crowd around KTLA technology reporter Kurt Knutsson. What I didn’t find out until this morning was that those little footballs and those t-shirts and Kurt’s iron will to ignore these assaults on his person were coming from a cadre of bikini-clad ladies being pulled around in a horse-drawn carriage to promote iPorn, the first free porn video application for the iPhone.

I know this because iPorn creators AdultVest (yeah… that’s an adult industry capital investment group) sent out a press release this morning claiming victory over opposition. While they didn’t mention names, its clear that Apple was quite upset with all of these proceedings. Apple wouldn’t let them into the show, the San Francisco Police threatened to revoke the operating license for the carriage, and later the owners of the Gold Club removed all signs and paraphernalia regarding iPorn at a little soirée they had that night.

iPorn, however, got what they wanted. They wanted publicity and parading half-naked girls around the Moscone West Center had quite the impact. There were guys all around snapping pictures and, as you can see above, even Kurt was pleased to join in the carnal-related fun. iPorn also garnered 35,000 (or so they say) new registered users from the publicity stunt. Apple, on the other hand, is not so pleased as pornography is not what they want their iPhone to be known for. After all, Apple is related to Pixar which is now a Disney company and Steve Jobs is involved deeply in all three.

All in all, Apple can do nothing about iPorn unless is plans on compartmentalizing the iPhone’s web access to limit its ability to receive the videos which iPorn sends to its members. It turns out that the iPorn thing is not an application, so Apple can’t turn it down. I’m sure Apple’s lawyers are working hard on a “solution”.
