o Google Vows to Fight U.S.
Justice Department Request for Search Records
Washington - In a move being watched by Internet privacy
advocates, search engine giant Google said that it plans to
"vigorously" fight the Bush administration's demand to reveal what
million of its users have been looking up on the Internet, several
media outlets reported on Friday. The Justice Department is asking
to see a random sampling of one million searches conducted on Google
over a one-week period as part of its effort to revive the 1998
Child Online Protection Act (COPA), designed to protect minors from
sexually explicit material. The measure was previously struck down
by the Supreme Court on First Amendment grounds. Though several of
Google's competitors, including Yahoo, America Online and MSN,
already have complied with the request, Google told CNN that the
government's demand for information "overreaches." "We had lengthy
discussions with them to try to resolve this, but were not able to
and we intend to resist their motion vigorously," Nicole Wong, an
associate general counsel for Google, wrote in a statement to the
network. The government filed a motion on Wednesday demanding that
Google turn over the records.

o Senate
Committee Calls for Adult Website Ratings
Washington - The Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday
called on the online adult entertainment industry to come up with a
ratings system and clearly label its content as intended only for
adults, CNET News.com reported. "Too few adult Web sites are taking
the extra step to create another obstacle, another barrier, that can
keep youngsters from accessing or stumbling on pornography," said
Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.). CNET reported that a Web browser
standard called Platform for Internet Content Selection (PICS)
currently exists that allows parents to restrict access to websites
rated as explicit, and many adult sites like Penthouse.com have so
labeled themselves. The hearing came in the same week the Bush
administration asked Google and other search engines to turn over
data it intends to use in defense of the Child Online Protection
Act, a law that would restrict explicit material on commercial
websites.

o Washington
Post Shuts Down Comments Section of Blog Site
Washington - The Washington Post has "indefinitely" shut
down the comments section of its online "post.blog" site after angry
readers bombarded the forum with comments regarding a column by the
newspaper's ombudsman. Deborah Howell wrote on Sunday that lobbyist
Jack Abramoff, the target of a Congressional bribe investigation,
gave made "substantial campaign contributions to both major
parties." The column prompted an outcry from many readers, who
flooded the site with what the Post called personal attacks and
profanity. "We have shut off comments on this blog indefinitely,"
wrote Jim Brady, the executive editor of washingtonpost.com, in a
message to online readers at 4:15 p.m. Thursday. "It's a shame that
it's come to this." Brady said that the paper is "not giving up on
the concept of having a healthy public dialogue with our readers,
but this experience shows that we need to think more carefully about
how we do it."

o Report: iTunes
Use Grows 241% in 2005; Reaches 14% of Internet Users
New York - Traffic to Apple's iTunes website and use of
its iTunes application has grown 241% over the past year, to 20.7
million unique visitors, and now reaches nearly 14% of the Internet
population, according to a report from Nielsen/NetRatings. The
site's users are more likely to be teenage and male, as 12 to
17-year-olds are nearly twice as likely to visit iTunes as the
average Internet user, and 54% of iTunes visitors are males.
Nielsen/NetRatings also surveyed brand preferences of iTunes users,
and found that their favorite car make is Volkswagen; that they are
more likely to drink hard cider than domestic beer; and that they
are more likely to read Wired and Rolling Stone, and to watch
Cartoon Network and BBC America, than average Internet users. "As
networks begin to decide what types of programs to either produce or
distribute through iTunes video, they should match the TV audiences'
offline purchase and media consumption behavior with that of the
iTunes users to maximize the success of video downloads," said Jon
Gibs, director of media analytics for Nielsen/NetRatings.

o EMI Considers
Outside Inspection of CD Copy-Protection Technology
London - In the wake of the Sony BMG CD copy-protection
debacle, major record label EMI is considering a request from a
digital civil liberties group to enable security researchers to
examine its own copy-protection technology for potential risks,
ZDNet UK reported. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) sent an
open letter to EMI, asking for assurances that researchers would not
face legal recourse when studying its copy-protection technology,
which is provided by Macrovision; the EFF claimed some researches
have previously received legal threats from copy-protection vendors.
"Music fans deserve to know whether EMI's copy-restricted CDs are
exposing their computers to security risks," said EFF senior staff
attorney Fred von Lohmann. "When it comes to computer security, it
pays to have as many independent experts kick the tires as possible,
and that can only happen if EMI assures those experts that they
won't be sued for their trouble." An EMI spokesman told ZDNet UK its
copy-protection has "no rootkit issues" and "never loads DRM onto a
user's hard drive without the user's permission."

o VNU to Buy Majority
Stake in Media Analytics Firm BuzzMetrics
Amsterdam - VNU NV, the Netherlands-based publisher of
Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter, and currently the largest
market-research firm in the world, announced that it has agreed to
acquire a majority stake in BuzzMetrics, a New York-based media
analytics firm. VNU said the deal, for which financial terms were
not disclosed, would enhance its media-measurement capabilities and
extend its reach into the "fast-growing sphere" of
consumer-generated media, such as blogs and public message boards.
Under the terms of the deal, VNU will acquire a 50.1% stake in
BuzzMetrics, which today agreed to merge with Intelliseek, a
Cincinnati-based consumer-generated media analytics firm.

o U.K. Mobile Firm
Monstermob to Buy China's M Dream for $35.2 Million
London - Monstermob, a U.K.-based mobile games and
ringtones publisher, announced that it has agreed to acquire M
Dream, currently the largest maker of mobile games in China, for as
much as $35.2 million in shares. The acquisition is not Monstermob's
first in China; last August, the company paid about $99 million for
ATOP Century, a provider of ringtones and mobile pictures. According
to Monstermob, gaming is the fastest-growing segment of the Chinese
mobile-entertainment market, set to grow from $41 million to more
than $241 million over the next three years.

o Report: Women
Out-Shop Men Online for First Time During Holidays
Herndon, Va. - For the first time since the inception of
online retailing a decade ago, more women than men purchased items
online during the 2005 holiday shopping season, according to a new
study by WebSurveyor. The firm said that the data is part of a
larger trend that has seen the Internet transform from a
male-dominated shopping bastion into one that must take into account
the buying preferences of women. Among the key findings, women
out-shopped men in every age category, including 75% of women in the
31-40 year-old age group who called the Internet their preferred
purchasing method. "As a result of this, many online retailers must
now consider transforming themselves from male-oriented 'hunter'
sites to female-oriented 'gatherer' sites that provide a richer
online purchasing experience," said WebSurveyor.

o TVMyPod
Selling iPods Pre-Loaded With Movies, TV Shows
Los Angeles - A Massachusetts-based start-up called
TVMyPod is selling pre-loaded iPods with movies and TV shows,
possibly in violation of current copyright laws. TVMyPod founder
Vijay Raghavan told The Hollywood Reporter the service is legal
because it does not involve decryption of DVDs, and because
customers get both the original DVD and the iPod's "fair use" copy
protected by law. The company doesn't currently charge for its
service, apart from the price of the DVDs and iPod, but plans to
eventually let consumers send in their own iPods.

o The Orchard

New York - The Orchard, a digital distributor of independent
label music, announced on Friday the creation of a new licensing
division, Orchard Music Services, which will offer help placing
songs from artists on Orchard-represented labels in film, TV,
advertising, games and other commercial exploits. The service will
offer mechanical licensing and royalty administration, song sync
placement, royalty collection, copyright and publishing
administration, and international label deals. New York-based The
Orchard represents a catalog of 700,000 tracks from artists on
independent record labels.

o Digonex
Debuts Dynamic Online Retail Pricing Service
Cannes, France - Digonex Technologies on Friday introduced a
dynamic online retail pricing service that "systematically changes
pricing based on Internet economics and behavioral principles." The
Indiana-based company's Digital Online Exchange (DOE) uses a
proprietary algorithm to find the "sweet spot" where prices follow
perceived market value and generate the maximum economic return.
Using DOE, newly released digital songs, for example, might sell for
$1.19, while back catalog tracks may sell for $0.49. "We believe
that artist contributions that are in higher demand are worth more
that those in less demand, and that fixed and tiered price models
are inefficient," said Digonex vice president Michael Wanchic. "DOE
provides the music industry with a tool to provide fair prices for
all digital music."

o 2006 World
Cup Could Generate $6.35 Billion in Mobile Revenue
San Francisco - The month-long 2006 World Cup soccer
tournament is projected to generate $6.35 billion in mobile revenue,
through text-messaging, ringtones, gambling, video clips and mobile
games, according to a report from market research firm Visiongain.
The tournament, which launches in June in Germany, is also expected
to be a testing ground for live mobile TV services. "The telecoms
industry has the potential to generate significant revenue from the
2006 World Cup," said Visiongain's Adam Walkden. "However, operators
aiming to utilize the tournament's popularity to push 3G at the
expense of more traditional services will miss out. The key revenue
generators will be tried and tested text services, ringtones and
logos."

Countering Sales Slump, Electronic Arts Discounts Game Titles
London - Electronic Arts has cut prices on its games by
$10-$20 in North America, in a bid to increase slumping sales,
GamesIndustry.biz reported. Forty-eight of EA's titles for
current-generation game consoles will be discounted, including its
top-selling "Madden NFL 06," which will drop from $39 to $29. Some
premium-priced titles, like "Need for Speed: Most Wanted," will also
be slashed, from $49 to $39. "We expect more price cuts to come from
other publishers, and believe very few new current gen releases will
be able to charge a premium price," reads a research note from
analysts at Banc of America Securities.
