o MovieBeam Re-launches with HD
Movies, $48.5 Million in VC Funding
Menlo Park, Calif. - MovieBeam, a video-on-demand service
originally launched by Disney in 2003 but later discontinued, on
Tuesday announced the re-launch of its service in 29 U.S. markets,
and a new round of venture capital financing totaling $48.5 million.
Mayfield Fund led the investment round; Cisco Systems, Intel and
Disney also participated. The MovieBeam service uses over-the-air "datacasting"
technology to deliver a weekly-updated library of 100 movies to TV
set-top boxes. The required set-top box costs $199, while new
releases rent for $3.99 each for a 24-hour rental period. Disney
initially launched MovieBeam in three markets, but discontinued the
service in April 2005 with plans to upgrade technology. With its
re-launch, MovieBeam becomes the first video-on-demand service to
deliver high-definition versions of some movies, which will cost $1
extra to rent.

o Spitzer
Sends Labels New Subpoenas in Digital Music Pricing Probe
New York - Record labels have received a new round of
subpoenas from New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, who is
investigating the pricing of digital music downloads, CNET News.com
reported on Tuesday. Warner Music Group disclosed in an SEC filing
today that it received a second subpoena, while "music industry
sources" told News.com that labels complained to Spitzer that
earlier subpoenas they received were too broad. In addition to
record labels, Spitzer has also sent subpoenas to a number of
digital music retailers. Some label executives have recently said
that they favor changing the current 99-cent pricing for digital
songs, so that new releases could be sold at higher prices while
library titles would sell for less.

o RIAA:
Sellers of Used iPods Loaded with Songs Breaking the Law
New York - According to the Recording Industry Association
of America (RIAA), consumers upgrading to the latest iPod and
selling their old models online or elsewhere must first wipe their
hard drives clean of music, or else they are in violation of
copyright law, MTV.com reported. "Selling an iPod preloaded with
music is no different than selling a DVD onto which you have burned
your entire music collection," the RIAA said in a statement. "Either
act is a clear violation of U.S. copyright law. The RIAA is
monitoring this means of infringement. In short: seller beware." The
RIAA told MTV.com it has already contacted at least one eBay seller
who was selling video iPods loaded with 6,000 songs, and is working
with the online auction service to create a warning that would
appear for those who post pre-loaded iPods for sale. "When you buy a
CD, you have it for personal use on your computer or iPod, but you
can't give it away and keep it for yourself," RIAA president Cary
Sherman told MTV.com. "That's having your cake and eating it too. If
everyone did that, [record labels] would only sell one CD."

o Video Game
Publisher Activision Cuts 7% of Staff
Santa Monica, Calif. - Video game publisher Activision has
laid off 7% of its staff, or about 150 of its 2,200 employees, from
its headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif. The company said the cuts
are part of a strategy to optimize its cost structure and resource
allocation during the transition to next-generation game consoles.
The layoffs at Activision come shortly after rival Electronic Arts
cut under 5% of its worldwide staff; both game publishers have also
recently slashed prices on their games for current-generation
consoles, in a bid to increase sales. Activision's games include the
top-selling "Call of Duty" and Tony Hawk skateboarding franchises.

Ft. Myers, Fla. - NeoMedia Technologies, a provider of

Munich-based provider of marketing and entertainment applications

o EU
"Monitoring" Windows Vista Bundling, Report Says
Brussels - According to a report by IDG, the
EuropeanCommission is looking into a number of complaints against
the bundling of products into Microsoft's Windows Vista -- the
software giant's first operating system using protocols set down by
antitrust decisions in the EU and U.S. "Several companies have
expressed concerns to the European Commission related to Windows
Vista," Commission spokesman Jonathan Todd told IDG. Todd said the
Commission has not opened a formal investigation because it has not
received a formal complaint, but added that it was "monitoring" the
situation. Vista is scheduled to ship by year's end.
