 Send to email | Lifecaster Stickam Tries Porn, Er, Pay-Per-View As Business Model in General |  By Silicon

 Stickam, the live streaming company with ties a Japanese porno outfit, is trying out a revenue generator sure to appeal to entrepreneurial exhibitionists. The company is accepting beta testers for its PayPerLive service, which allows users to set up pay-per-view channels. Transactions will be conducted using PayPal, and users share revenue with Stickam.
Stickam is owned by LA-based Advanced Video Communications, which the NY Times reported is owned by Wataru Takahashi, a Japanese businessman who owns DTI Services, which runs sites offering live sex shows like DxLive and JgirlParadise.
For its part, Stickam says the service will appeal to "professionals and entertainers" who can "open up their events to the world by selling tickets to customers or fans for Internet-based live events." The company suggests "comedians, consultants, bands, alumni associations, teachers and fundraisers" could make use of the service. And if those people want to appear naked while they stream their video, who's going to stop them?
More than a dozen live streaming startups--many of which have raised millions in venture funds--are now casting about for a business model. Pioneering lifecaster Justin.tv told us in April they're developing a top-secret "transaction system" that CEO Michael Seibel described as "a combination of pay-per-view, Craigslist and eBay wrapped into one." Looks like Stickam beat them to it.

| Lords linger over extreme porn definition | | What’s the meaning of ‘obscene’?
The camel that is the UK Government’s answer to what it terms “extreme porn” lumbers onward. Although, by the time it escaped the Lords last week it really was beginning to look like a particularly moth-eaten dromedary.
