o Bertelsmann Settles Napster Investment Suit With Small Record Label

New York -- German media conglomerate Bertelsmann has settled a copyright infringement suit filed by Bridgeport Music, a small Michigan-based record label, stemming from Bertelsmann's $85 million investment in the Napster file-sharing service in 2000 and 2001, The New York Times reported. Bertelsmann paid about $50,000 to settle the claims of contributory copyright infringement from Bridgeport, paying only the label's legal fees. But the agreement may signal to larger record labels like Universal and EMI, with pending claims against Bertelsmann, that they may yet see compensation for what they see as lost CD sales due to the original, free Napster service. "The decision to settle the case was not based in any way, shape or form on the merits of the case," Bridgeport attorney Richard Busch told The Times. Bertelsmann said it would entertain similar settlements where it would reimburse legal fees for the major labels and publishers suing for contributory infringement. "We would hope that one or more of the other remaining plaintiffs would also reassess the viability of this litigation," Bertelsmann lawyer Bruce Rich told The Times. A federal judge recently denied Bertelsmann's motion to dismiss the charges brought by the major record companies, who are not deterred from their lawsuits. "[The labels and publishers] truly believe there are billions of dollars of damages they will ultimately be entitled to at the end of the process," Universal Music president Zach Horowitz told The Times.

o WSJ: Game Developer Take-Two in Talks With MLB for Exclusive Rights

New York -- The Wall Street Journal recently reported that video game publisher Take-Two Interactive, known for its blockbuster "Grand Theft Auto" franchise, may be in talks with Major League Baseball to secure exclusive rights to use official players, teams, uniforms and stadiums in its baseball video games. News of the negotiations follows on Electronic Arts' landmark five-year, $50 million deal with the NFL for exclusive NFL football game rights for its "Madden NFL" franchise, and its deal to replace Take-Two as the licensee of the ESPN brand for use in video games. While those deals could sink Take-Two's "ESPN NFL" game franchise, an exclusive deal between Take-Two and MLB would likely negatively affect Sony's baseball game franchise but not Electronic Arts', which does not make use of official MLB branding.

o Leaked Sony PSP Update Hints at Web, Office Applications for Handheld Game

Tokyo -- A software update for Sony's new PSP (PlayStation Portable) handheld video game system that was inadvertently leaked onto the Internet contains details on potential new applications for the device, including Web browsing, e-mail, text-to-speech, word processing and calculator functions. While Sony confirmed that the leak was genuine, it warned that the update may in fact damage PSP hardware if installed by owners. The addition of such non-gaming functions to the PSP -- which can already play music and movies pre-recorded on its proprietary Universal Media Disc format -- would set it apart from the more gaming-centered DS handheld recently released by rival Nintendo. Separately, Sony has hinted that it may open up its Universal Media Disc, a 2.4-inch, 1.8GB format, so that outside companies can publish music and movies that can be played back on the PSP.

o Activision Acquires Video Game Developer Vicarious Visions

Santa Monica, Calif. -- Video game publisher Activision announced on Thursday that it has acquired New York-based developer Vicarious Visions, including the company's Alchemy game development middleware technology. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Santa Monica, Calif.-based Activision said it signed long-term employment contracts with the company's management team and key employees. "Vicarious Visions' talented development team and proprietary technology combined with our internal systems and capabilities will play a key role in Activision's continued leadership on the next-generation platforms," said Activision Publishing president Kathy Vrabeck.

o Mobile Music Download Service Chaoticom Licenses EMI Tracks

o America Online Expands Search Capabilities

Dulles, Va. -- Hoping to capture a larger share of the rapidly expanding paid search market, America Online on Thursday said that it has launched a new, enhanced version of its search tool The company said that it has teamed with several technology partners to add features such as an updated design that moves away from a tabbed interface, a new sorting feature designed to help users more quickly narrow searches and "snapshot" results that present information such as local movie times and current events at the top of results pages. At the heart of the upgrade, however, are features geared toward paid search and e-commerce, such as shopping results that allow users to quickly purchase products for which they've searched. AOL also said that it is working with Ingenio to add a new advertising system that will only charge advertisers after a phone call is made to their business as a result of the ad.

o Report: Affluent Adults Rely More Heavily on Internet

New York -- Affluent adults rely more heavily on the Internet as their first source of information than the average person, according to a new report from market research publisher Packaged Facts. According to a survey of nearly 30,000 respondents, 32% of adults overall use the Internet as their primary source of information, compared with 42% among the mass affluent (two-or-more person households with an income of $100,000-$149,000) and 50% among the highly affluent (households with incomes above $150,000). Also, 34% of adults said that they have made an online purchase in the past 12 months, compared with 57% of the highly affluent.

(Washington) The Distributed Computing Industry Association (DCIA), a trade group of 30 peer-to-peer file-sharing companies, announced on Thursday that it is presenting the first major album to be licensed for distribution on peer-to-peer networks to President Bush, as an inaugural gift. The release of the jazz album "Petra Haden and Bill Frisell" on P2P networks was organized by Intent MediaWorks and Sovereign Artists. "While the retail value of this gift may only be $9.79, its significance as a turning point in the licensing of mainstream music content for P2P distribution is enormously valuable to the entertainment and technology sectors," said DCIA CEO Marty Lafferty. "With this promotion, DCIA member companies are proving that mainstream artists can be fairly compensated and consumers can enjoy the benefits of P2P file sharing."
