o Report: EU Launches Investigation Into iTunes Pricing

Brussels -- The European Commission has launched an investigation into Apple Computer for charging more for iTunes music downloads in the U.K. than in France or Germany, Reuters reported. "There is indeed an investigation on our own initiative," an unnamed Commission spokesman told Reuters. "We have made informal requests to Apple just to gather information." Reuters said the probe, which comes in response to a complaint filed with the U.K. Office of Fair Trading by consumer association Which?, was still in its early stages. Which? complained that consumers in the U.K. who must pay $1.51 per download are prohibited from using websites in France and Germany, where downloads cost just $1.31. Apple charges $0.99 for songs in the U.S., and $0.80 per song in Canada. "We look forward to the Commission taking action to ensure that the market for digital music is a single European market and serves all of Europe's consumers equally," Which?'s Phil Evans told Reuters.

o Survey: Nearly Half of Americans Aware of Internet Movie Downloads

New York -- Nearly half of Americans are aware of the ability to download a movie off the Internet, although only 4% have actually done so, according to a survey conducted by New York-based market research firm Ipsos-Insight. The survey found younger Americans have downloaded movies -- mainly off file-sharing networks -- in greater numbers, as 12% of those ages 18 to 24 reported having done so, as did 8% of those ages 12 to 17. "With the music industry struggling in the past few years to define and integrate the role of digital acquisition methods into the existing marketplace, it appears that the motion picture industry is presented with a unique opportunity to learn from the evolution of that category," said Ipsos-Insight vice president Matt Kleinschmit. The survey also revealed that 34% of Americans over 25 "have never heard of downloading full-lengthe movies off the Internet," while 27% of 12-17 year-olds said the same. "It's important to keep in mind that traditional movie watching options such as going to the movies and renting movies still hold the lion's share of movie watching behavior," added Ipsos-Insight senior vice president Lynne Bartos.

o EU Consults Microsoft Rivals to Ensure Sanction Compliance

Brussels -- The European Commission announced on Friday that it is consulting with customers and rivals of Microsoft to determine whether the software giant is truly complying with recent EU sanctions against it. "We have asked market participants to give us their comments in the next few days," said Commission spokesman Jonathan Todd. "By the end of the first week of March, we should have all of the comments, and we will make up our mind after that." The Commission has already rejected one proposed name for the stripped-down version of Microsoft Windows -- "Windows XP Reduced Media Edition" -- on grounds that the word "reduced" would make it unattractive to consumers. Todd said the Commission had yet to decide whether any of the other proposed names were satisfactory. The EU has ordered Microsoft to offer a version of Windows without Media Player, as well as provide competitors with protocol information. If the Commission decides Microsoft is dragging its feet, however, it could fine the company as much as 5% of its average daily turnover.

o NPR Flagship Station KCRW to Offer "Podcasts" of Radio Programs

Santa Monica, Calif. -- KCRW, a flagship FM station for National Public Radio (NPR) based in Santa Monica, California, announced this week that it will begin "podcasting" its programming beginning on March 1. The free podcast service will enable owners of an Apple iPod or other MP3 player to go online and select KCRW programs to be automatically recorded on their computers and transferred to their portable players, for listening away from the radio or computer. "KCRW sees podcasting as a further extension of the radio station. The programs on our website have proven to be as popular as they are on the air; so it makes sense to allow more people to hear them, especially with the portability that podcasting offers -- it's KCRW To Go," said KCRW general manager Ruth Seymour. The station will offer 22 programs via podcast, including its nationally syndicated "Left, Right & Center," "To the Point," "Bookworm" and "The Treatment." The station has also partnered with WNYC in New York to cross promote and share podcast content online. KCRW said that copyright issues prevent it from offering music programs like its venerable "Morning Becomes Eclectic" via podcast, "but efforts are underway to make this possible in the future," the station said.

o Electronics Makers Think Fee for Antipiracy Technology is Too High

Amsterdam -- A number of consumer electronics makers are unhappy with the high license fee being proposed by companies that invented technology to secure the transfer of music and other media to cell phones and other portable devices, Reuters reported on Friday. The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) has proposed a $1 per device charge for its antipiracy technology. "This kind of price is certainly unreasonable. It's not in proportion to the economic value," one senior executive at a top five mobile phone maker told Reuters, who also pointed out that the $684 million in royalties from each cell phone sold last year is greater than total Web music sales last year. "This is too expensive," added a senior executive at a global top three consumer electronics firm. The chairman of the digital rights management working group at the OMA admitted that the licensing terms "have kicked up a lot of dust. People are debating if these are reasonable terms," Jan van der Meer told Reuters. Companies that developed the antipiracy technology include InterTrust, ContentGuard, Sony, Matsushita and Philips -- who pooled their patents and are represented by a licensing group called MPEG LA.

o Microsoft Hires "Final Fantasy" Creator to Develop for Xbox

Redmond, Wash. -- Microsoft has announced that the creator of the "Final Fantasy" video game franchise, which has sold 60 million units worldwide, has joined Microsoft Game Studios to develop roleplaying game titles for the Xbox. Nironobu Sakaguchi left Japanese developer Square Enix, which publishes the "Final Fantasy" franchise, in 2001 to found his own game studio, Mistwalker. Sakaguchi, who was inducted to the Academy of Interactive Arts & Science Hall of Fame in 2000 for his work on "Final Fantasy," will create two Xbox-exclusive roleplaying titles for Microsoft Game Studios. "Sakaguchi-san has taken role-playing games -- traditionally a niche market -- and introduced them to a broad and diverse audience across the globe," said Peter Moore, corporate vice president of worldwide marketing and publishing at Microsoft. "We are ecstatic to work with Sakaguchi-san and celebrate what this news means not only for Xbox, but for gamers worldwide."
