o WSJ: Carl Icahn Giving Up Battle for Control of Time Warner

Dulles, Va. - Billionaire financier Carl Icahn has ended his battle to gain control of AOL-parent Time Warner, and is now in talks with the media giant about a potential settlement, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. Icahn, whose group owns about 6% of Time Warner, had been seeking to gain control of the company's board with the goal of breaking it into four separate companies to increase its value to shareholders. But Icahn, who has been unable to gain much traction with other large shareholders, on Thursday backed down from his original goal by nominating only five candidates for the board, which has 14 seats. "Many shareholders want change on the board, but they feel a full slate would be disruptive," Icahn told the Journal "I agree it's disruptive, which is why we're cutting down the slate."

o Sirius Posts Wider Loss Despite Strong Subscriber Growth

New York - Sirius Satellite Radio, a provider of subscription radio programming, on Friday posted a bigger loss than expected, citing promotional costs for the launch of Howard Stern's show, while expanding its subscriber base at a faster pace last quarter than rival XM. Sirius posted a fourth quarter loss of $311.4 million, while its revenue tripled, to $80 million. The company ended the year with 3.3 million subscribers, and projects it will count 6 million by the end of 2006; the 1.14 million subscribers it added in the fourth quarter outpaced rival XM's 898,000 new subscribers. For Sirius, subscriber acquisition costs in the fourth quarter were $113, compared with $89 for XM. Shares of XM fell yesterday, after the company reported higher losses and the resignation of board member Pierce Roberts Jr., who voiced concerns the company was spending too much to attract subscribers.

o Weak UMD Sales Prompt Studios to Reconsider Release Schedules

Los Angeles - Sales of movies on Sony's UMD format for its PSP handheld video game have been weaker than expected, according to a report in Variety, causing studios including Paramount, Warner and Sony itself to cut back on future movie releases. The report said successful releases have sold upwards of 100,000 units, but average UMD titles topped off around 50,000 units; top-selling UMD titles included "Napoleon Dynamite," "Chappelle's Show" and "Beavis & Butthead." "We are re-evaluating our position on any future releases at this time," Jeff Baker, senior vice president and general manager of Warner Bros. theatrical catalog, told Variety. "We're looking at this on a case-by-case basis. We're disappointed with consumer demand at this time." Warner Bros. said it has cancelled releases for six planned UMD titles. In a bid to help increase sluggish sales, Sony has plans to release an adapter that would enable the PSP to connect to a TV to play UMD movies.

o Take-Two Faces More Class Actions Over "Grand Theft Auto" Scandal

New York - Video game publisher Take-Two Interactive is facing more legal woes this week, as two new class action lawsuits have been filed by shareholders against the company over controversies surrounding its top-selling "Grand Theft Auto" game franchise. The law firms of Milberg Weiss and Stull, Stull & Brody both announced their class actions against Take-Two this week, following other similar class actions filed after the company's shares fell 30% in the wake of a scandal over a sexual mini-game that could be unlocked within its "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas." The game was pulled from store shelves and given a more restrictive "Adults Only" rating, but the "Hot Coffee" mini-game's existence prompted an FTC investigation, and more recently a lawsuit from the Los Angeles city attorney's office.

o U.K. Web Booker BETonSPORTS Calls for U.S. 'Net Gaming Regulations

London - Citing recent betting scandals and actions in the U.S. Congress, BETonSPORTS, a London-based online sports betting firm, on Friday renewed its push for government regulation of the online gaming industry in the U.S. The company also said that it remains "vehemently opposed" to any prohibition attempts in Congress. "Prohibition has never worked in the U.S. for any activity," said CEO David Carruthers. "The idea that prohibition would suddenly work now on any aspect of the Internet is a falsehood and trying to shut out a multi-billion industry with the consumer demand of online gambling through prohibition won't work." BETonSPORTS, which focuses primarily on the North America, Asia and Latin America regions, last month published a white paper on why regulation is needed in the U.S. Carruthers said that the industry needs regulation and tracking, "not to be pushed even further in the shadows where organized crime and other less reputable individuals can carve out a niche for themselves."

o NeoMedia to Acquire Mobile Marketing Firm HipCricket for $4.5 Million

Fort Myers, Fla. - Continuing a recent string of acquisitions, NeoMedia Technologies, a provider of mobile Internet technologies, has agreed to pay $4.5 million in cash to acquire HipCricket, a Connecticut-based provider of mobile marketing technology for broadcasters and brand marketers. HipCricket provides customers with a range of mobile media technology, including marketing and mobile strategy development, creative content development, tracking and analysis, and database development and maintenance. Founded in 2004, HipCricket has already worked with four national radio groups, TV networks, a top TV reality show, and more than two dozen major marketers, NeoMedia said. Last week NeoMedia acquired Mobot, a provider of mobile visual recognition technology, for $10 million in cash and stock. Earlier this week, NeoMedia announced the purchase of 12snap, a Germany-based provider of marketing and entertainment applications and programs for cellular phones, for $22 million.

o CNET: Copyright Locks Could Frustrate Blu-ray, HD DVD Early Adopters

San Francisco - CNET News.com this week reported on the confusion set to befall early adopters of next-generation Blu-ray and HD DVD technologies, due to projected incompatibilities between computers, drives and monitors caused by stringent copyright protection technologies. While a setup with a standalone Blu-ray or HD DVD player and HDTV is expected to work smoothly, it's possible that initially, resolution could be degraded to sub-DVD quality -- or signals blacked out entirely -- for some owners of computers with next-generation DVD drives.

o Sex Workers' Group Calls for Boycott of "Grand Theft Auto"

San Francisco - A sex workers' advocacy group has called for a boycott of Take-Two Interactive/Rockstar Games' "Grand Theft Auto" video games, saying it opposes the representations of prostitutes in the games. The San Francisco-based Sex Workers Outreach Project (SWOP) said in a statement that it "will always be adamantly opposed to any and all forms of censorship," but, "since the video game Grand Theft Auto accrues points to players for the depiction of the rape and murder of prostitutes, SWOP-USA calls on all parents and all gamers to boycott Grand Theft Auto." The group also cited a report from the National Institute on Media and the Family, which found "a strong correlation between exposure to violent video games and various forms of antisocial behavior."
