o French Court OKs File-Sharing
for Personal Use
Paris - The District Court of Paris has ruled that
downloading and uploading content to peer-to-peer file-sharing
networks is legal, as long as it is for personal use, The Register
reported. The French record label trade group SCPP sued a Frenchman
in late 2004 for allegedly offering 1,212 music tracks for download
on file-sharing networks. The District Court of Paris found that the
acts of downloading and uploading on peer-to-peer networks
constituted "private copying." The SCPP is appealing the ruling.
Meanwhile, the French Parliament is also weighing a proposal to
charge file-swappers a $6 per month voluntary surcharge for
accessing peer-to-peer networks.

o XM
Satellite Radio Signs $55 Million Deal with Oprah Winfrey
Washington - XM Satellite Radio, a provider of
subscription radio programming with 6 million subscribes, announced
on Thursday that it signed a three-year, $55 million deal with Oprah
Winfrey to launch a new channel on the service. The new channel, to
be called "Oprah & Friends," will debut in September, and will
feature a range of original programming from Winfrey's Harpo Radio.
The lineup will include regular segments hosted by personalities
from "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and The Oprah Magazine, as well as a
weekly reality radio show with Winfrey and Gayle King. The channel
will be broadcast from a new XM studio at Harpo Studios in Chicago.
Some analysts see the move as XM's answer to a deal that rival
Sirius struck with shock jock Howard Stern.

o Napster
Adds 66,000 Subscribers, Posts Loss of $17 Million
Los Angeles - Napster announced on Thursday that it added
66,000 subscribers during its third fiscal quarter, ended Dec. 31,
2005, and now claims in excess of 500,000 subscribers to its digital
music service. The company's revenue of $23.5 million during the
quarter was nearly double the $12.1 million it reported a year
earlier; however, Napster posted a loss of $17 million for the
period. The loss was partly attributed to a 68% increase in
marketing expenditures, from $9.2 million to $15.4 million. In a
conference call with investors, Napster CEO Chris Gorog denied
recent rumors that the company was seeking a buyer, or that it
planned layoffs beyond its recent dismissal of some middle managers,
the Associated Press reported. Gorog also said that the company has
enough cash on hand to operate through 2007.

o U.S. Internet
Searches Grow 55% in December; Google Leads Way
New York - The total number of Internet searches in the
U.S. in December grew 55% from the year before, according to new
figures released by Internet research firm Nielsen/NetRatings. The
firm said that nearly 5.1 billion searches were performed across
approximately 60 search engines during the month, up from 3.3
billion searches in Dec. 2004. While the number of searches
conducted online swelled, the number of people connecting to the
Internet in the U.S. rose only 3% to 207 million. Google was the
biggest winner among search engines, garnering nearly half of all
searches during the month, with both Yahoo and MSN Search actually
slipping in market share. All three, however, experienced
double-digit growth in terms of total number of searches performed,
compared with the year before.

o U.S.
Venture Capital Firms Raise Highest Amount Since 2001
San Francisco - U.S. venture capital firms raised $22.16
billion last year, making it the largest fund-raising year since
2001, according to new statistics from VentureOne. The figure was up
19% from 2004, though the number of funds actually dropped slightly.
The firm said that the trend toward larger funds is a result of "the
increasing globalization of the technology market and the need to
provide entrepreneurial companies with larger rounds of financing so
they can scale up quicker than the competition." In the fourth
quarter, the largest U.S. fund raised was the $1.4 billion
Technology Crossover Ventures
VI fund, while three other U.S. funds also topped $500 million.

Washington Post: Five Senate Offices Fingered in Wikipedia Edits
Washington - An investigation into partisan edits made to
Wikipedia online encyclopedia entries for members of Congress has
found that edits could be traced directly to Internet addresses
within at least five Senators' offices, The Washington Post reported
on Thursday. The edits, which included deletions of past
controversies and politically motivated insults, prompted Wikipedia
to temporarily block access from some Capitol Hill addresses. The
investigation by Wikinews traced edits back to addresses within
offices for Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.), Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.),
Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.), Sen. Conrad Burns (R-Mont.) and Sen. Tom
Harkin (D-Iowa). "There were several factual things that were
wrong," Tom Steward, a spokesman for Coleman, told The Post, while
Biden spokesman Norm Kurz told The Post that changes that were "made
to Biden's site by this office were designed to make it more fair
and accurate."
