CINCINNATI -- One of the holiday season's hottest gifts could carry some pretty steamy content that kids might be able to access, Target 5's Sandra Ali reported.

The newest iPod not only lets users download music, but also pictures and video -- including pornography.

Some businesses in the adult entertainment industry are specially making porn files for the iPod, including Playboy.com. The company's site already makes adult videos for Playstation portables, and an X-rated site called Suicide Girls reported it sold 1 million downloads of nude models within a week of the video iPod's debut.

With free video previews and short clips, the companies are hoping to reel in big business, but it could be coming from one of the iPod’s most eager audiences -- kids.

"I think it's something that's probably inevitable," one young adult said.

Target 5 found that it's easy to download porn to an iPod. With just the click of a mouse button to verify that the user's of age, anyone who can browse the Web can get their files onto a computer and then straight to the iPod.

Phil Burress, president of Citizens for Community Values, said iPod porn presents a special problem for parents, even those who try to monitor their children's Internet use.

"These kids know more about this stuff than we do," he said. "They are really on top of technology. If somebody really wants to get to hardcore pornography or get to a site they're not supposed to get to, trust me, these kids know how to do it."

He said it's even harder for parents to keep tabs on their kids when they're not at home.

"They can have them at the playground; they can have them where they want to, and they will share the information," Burress said.

Sometimes that sharing can be illegal. If kids download and pass around porn depicting other kids, they're breaking federal child pornography laws.

However, nearly two dozen states offer filtering laws that apply to public schools or libraries. In the Tri-State, Kentucky schools and libraries must filter the Web to prevent access to porn. Most Indiana school districts also use Internet filters and require students to get permission from their parents to surf the Web.

But in Ohio, there's no law that requires Internet filtering; most school districts do it anyway, and libraries risk losing funding if they don't use filters.

Parents who want to stop their kids from accessing porn sites should look at the latest filters, such as those on Cybersitter.com -- a site that's studying how to specifically block iPod porn.

More importantly, parents and experts agree on one thing:

"You just have to teach your children what's appropriate and what's not appropriate," a parent said.
