Is Apple's ban on iPad porn damaging the future of media?

It will be a bigger issue when ALL Apple consumer products one day run in the walled iOS garden. Think of this as the prelude.

I'm not aware of any either. I'm not saying it's necessary, This is a multi-Billionaire industry which is constantly evolving and innovating. Look at where they stand now, Almost every Porn site has a iPhone/iPod and iPad version up and running 100% compatible with all iDevices, That's pretty impressive.

Only point I'm trying to make is that Adult entertainment might not be in the App Store today, But I wouldn't be surprised if it makes it's way there in the future. Right now anyone who has Cable or Satellite TV can get full blown access to porn, Is there a need for it? NO is there a demand for it? YES.

I would be surprised. Apple strives to maintain a certain image, and offering up porn apps would fly in the face of that image. They certainly have no financial incentive to… they are doing very well without it. And let's not forget that Jobs has not only touted the iPad as "freedom from porn", but is also on record as saying that if you want porn, then get an Android. Obviously they can't block the internet, but porn is simply not coming to the App Store.
