o Sen. Leahy Seeks Info on Bush
Administration Google Search Subpoena
Washington - Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the ranking
Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has sent a letter to
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales requesting information on the Bush
administration's subpoena of Google's search engine records. Federal
prosecutors have subpoenaed the search engine records of AOL, Yahoo,
Microsoft and Google while preparing a legal defense of the Child
Online Protection Act (COPA), intended to restrict minors' access to
online pornography. But only Google has refused, saying instead it
will fight the request to protect its customers' privacy. "I am
interested in learning more about the extent to which the Department
of Justice is relying upon data mining of the Internet search
queries made by law-abiding American citizens to support its efforts
under COPA and how the department is addressing the privacy and
civil liberties concerns raised by the collection, storage and use
of that data," Leahy said in a statement.

o Netflix
Subscribers Hit 4.2 Million; Profit Rises Sixfold
Los Gatos, Calif. - Online DVD rental service Netflix has
announced that it surpassed its 2005 goal of acquiring 4 million
subscribers, and posted fourth quarter net earnings of $38.1
million, compared with $5.6 million a year earlier -- sending its
shares up over 10%. The company, which now claims 4.2 million
customers, also said it reduced "churn," or the number of
subscribers who cancel after trial subscriptions, from 4.4% to 4%
during the quarter. Los Gatos, Calif.-based Netflix raised its 2006
subscriber goal to 5.9 million, up from 5.65 million, and still
expects to have 20 million by 2010. The company also expects profits
will increase by at least 50% in each of the next three years.

o New MTV
Organizational Structure to Highlight Digital Distribution
New York - Viacom's MTV network on Wednesday announced a
new organizational structure that will put digital distribution of
its programming on equal footing with television. The company will
operate two divisions -- one whose focus will remain on television,
and another that will develop short-form video, music and news
content for TV as well as online, video-on-demand, broadband,
wireless and other digital platforms. The company named Dave
Sirulnick as its new executive vice president of MTV Multiplatform
Production, News and Music, who will work with vice president of
digital media Ben White and MTVN chief digital officer Jason
Hirchhorn under the new structure. The company also said vice
president of label relations Peter Baron will now additionally
program its video-on-demand and MHD platforms. "This new way of
aligning creative talent to tee-up linear and non-linear
entertainment for the audience will enable MTV to break through the
clutter, launch new music superstars and develop for platforms not
yet created," said MTV Networks president Van Toffler.

o "Booth Babes"
Eliminated from E3 Video Game Expo
Los Angeles - Producers of the Electronic Entertainment
Expo (E3), the world's largest video game industry event held
annually in Los Angeles, have announced that the sexy "booth babes"
used to lure attendees to exhibitors' booths will not be allowed at
this year's event in May. The Entertainment Software Association (ESA),
the video game trade group that organizes the show, said it would
dole out a $5,000 fine on the spot to the owner of any booth that
features scantily clad women. "Material, including live models,
conduct that is sexually explicit and/or sexually provocative,
including but not limited to nudity, partial nudity and bathing suit
bottoms, are prohibited on the show floor, all common areas, and at
any access points to the show," the ESA wrote in its E3 handbook.
The ESA did not provide an explanation for the new rules, although
lawmakers in a handful of states have recently tried to pass laws
restricting the sale of violent and sexually explicit video games to
minors.

o West Virginia
P.E. Classes to Include Konami's "Dance Dance Revolution"
Redwood City, Calif. - Japanese video game publisher
Konami on Wednesday announced a three-year partnership with the
state of West Virginia, which will bring its "Dance Dance
Revolution" dancing-based video game to all 765 of its public
schools. "Addressing childhood obesity is among the top priorities
of Governor Manchin's administration," said Nidia Henderson,
wellness director of the West Virginia Public Employees Insurance
Agency. "DDR offers West Virginia a unique opportunity to turn
'screen time' into active time while allowing children residing in
even the most rugged terrain an opportunity for physical activity."
The state, which found in a "Games for Health" research project that
games improved children's levels of physical activity, intends to
develop a school-based DDR curriculum and collect data to analyze
the benefits of the game's use in schools. "This first-of-its-kind
partnership will help us continue to demonstrate the benefits of DDR
to consumers around the country," said Clara Gilbert, director of
business partnerships for Konami Digital Entertainment.
