o Google Denies Napster Buyout Rumor

New York - Google has denied a report published yesterday in the New York Post that it is in talks with Napster about an exclusive alliance or acquisition of the digital music service, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday. The company told AP in a statement that it has "no plans to acquire Napster" or "develop a music store at this time." Napster declined comment for the AP story. Google recently launched an online video store, and also began offering a version of its search engine tailored specifically for music-related searches, prompting speculation the company may enter the digital music market.

o Take-Two SEC Filing Reveals Potential Lawsuits, Acquisition Costs

New York - A recent SEC filing reveals that, in addition to lawsuits filed against the company by the FTC, Los Angeles City Attorney's office, and families of slain police officers, "Grand Theft Auto" video game publisher Take-Two Interactive also faces lawsuits filed in Pennsylvania, Illinois and New York. The company has seen its shares tumble recently, both as a result of alleged accounting irregularities and the lawsuits related to a hidden sexual mini-game and the degree of violence in its "Grand Theft Auto" games. The attorney generals of North Carolina and Connecticut, as well as the Delaware Chancery Court, have also requested documents related to "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas." The SEC filing also showed that the company spent over $70 million on acquisitions in 2005, picking up developers Visual Concepts and Kush Games ($32 million), Firaxis ($27 million) and Gaia Capital Group ($11 million). The company also purchased Irrational Games for $10 million in January.

o Remaining Free File-Sharing Networks Negotiating with Labels

San Francisco -- File-sharing network operators such as eDonkey, LimeWire and BearShare are nearing a time when they will likely either shut down or switch to legitimate paid services in order to avoid record industry litigation, CNET News.com reported on Wednesday. Many peer-to-peer companies were sent cease-and-desist letters by the record labels in the wake of last summer's landmark Supreme Court ruling on file-sharing, and while some, like Grokster, WinMX and i2Hub have shut down, others like iMesh have gone legit and still others continue to negotiate with the labels. "I honestly had expected everything to move more quickly," Sam Yagan, the chief executive of eDonkey parent MetaMachine, told News.com. "We look forward to a settlement (with the record industry) very soon. It's not months away, that's for sure." When the iMesh service converted to paid subscriptions, the company also agreed to pay $4 million in to the record labels to account for alleged losses from its free service. Yagan hopes eDonkey's average of 3.5 million simultaneous daily users will be attractive to the labels and other file-sharing providers alike. "If you compare us shutting down versus us converting, there's a heck of lot more value in us converting versus scattering those users," Yagan said.

o DISH Network Joins Firms Providing "Family-Friendly" Channel Tiers

Englewood, Colo. - Following the lead of rival DirecTV and cable companies Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Cox, EchoStar Communications, operator of the DISH Network satellite TV service, on Wednesday announced a new "family-friendly" programming tier. The "DishFAMILY" service will offer 40 channels -- including Animal Planet, Nickelodeon, Food Network, CNN, Fox News and Trinity Broadcasting Network -- for $19.95 per month. The family-friendly service offerings come after some in Congress have pressed cable and satellite companies to offer a la carte programming, in part so that parents and others may choose not to subscribe to channels they feel offer inappropriate programming.
