o Musicians File Brief Supporting
Grokster in Supreme Court Appeal Washington -- In stark contrast
to the efforts of much of the recording industry to shut down
file-sharing networks, a number of musicians have filed a brief with
the Supreme Court arguing that, while they don't endorse copyright
infringement, file-sharing is a viable means of distribution for
many artists, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday. Artists
including Steve Winwood, rapper Chuck D and the band Heart signed on
to the legal brief, which supports file-sharing services Grokster
and Streamcast Networks in a Supreme Court appeal brought against
the company by the major record labels. Lower courts have ruled that
file-sharing software providers are not liable for any copyright
infringement committed by users of their software; the Supreme Court
is scheduled to hear oral arguments in the appeal on March 29.
"Musicians are not universally united in opposition to peer-to-peer
file sharing" the court filing reads. "To the contrary, many
musicians find peer-to-peer technology . . . allows them easily to
reach a worldwide online audience. And to many musicians, the
benefits of this . . . strongly outweigh the risks of copyright
infringement."

o Illinois
Lawmakers Seek Ban on Sale of Violent Video Games to Minors
Springfield, Ill. -- Two Illinois state lawmakers have introduced
legislation that would ban the sale of violent and sexually explicit
video games to minors, punishing retailers who violate the ban with
fines of between $1,000 and $5,000. State Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia and
State Sen. Deanna Demuzio, both Democrats, will sponsor bills in the
Illinois state House and Senate, respectively. Illinois Gov. Rod
Blagojevich has also pushed for the legislation. "As a society,
we've agreed that children do not have a right to certain things
that pose a risk to their health or development: things like
cigarettes, alcohol, and pornography," said Blagojevich. "We know
violent and sexually explicit video games pose a direct risk to
kids, so we should make every effort to keep them out of kids'
hands." Although similar bills have been struck down on First
Amendment grounds by courts in Washington state, St. Louis County,
Mo. and the city of Indianapolis, efforts to ban the sale of violent
games to minors are also progressing in California, D.C., Georgia,
Michigan, Missouri and Pennsylvania. The proposed Illinois
legislation would define violent games as "those that include
realistic depictions of human-on-human violence in which the player
kills, injures, or otherwise causes serious physical harm to another
human, including but not limited to depictions of death,
dismemberment, amputation, decapitation, maiming, disfigurement,
mutilation of body parts, or rape."

o Cablevision
to Shutter VOOM High-Definition Satellite TV Service
Bethpage, N.Y. -- Cable TV provider Cablevision has announced
that it will shut down its VOOM high-definition satellite TV service
in 30 days, having failed to reach an agreement with Cablevision
chairman Charles Dolan, who had been negotiating to buy VOOM's
assets. Dolan issued his own press release later in the day,
announcing that he plans to try to maintain VOOM's service for its
46,000 subscribers nationwide. New York-based Cablevision announced
in December that it would sell the VOOM satellite to DISH Network
parent company EchoStar Communications for $200 million. Dolan then
attempted to purchase VOOM's assets, but the Feb. 28 deadline to
have completed a deal passed yesterday.

o Ubisoft
Signs Golfer Singh, Will Enter Sports Video Game Market
San Francisco -- In a bid to challenge the market dominated by
Electronic Arts and Take-Two Interactive, French video game
publisher Ubisoft has announced that it plans to develop a series of
sports titles. The company has signed an exclusive licensing deal
with PGA Tour pro golfer Vijay Singh, to produce a game that will
compete with EA's "Tiger Woods PGA Tour" franchise. Ubisoft has also
acquired the sports assets of Microsoft Game Studios, including the
source code to titles such as "NHL Rivals," "NFL Fever," "NBA Inside
Drive" and "MLB Inside Pitch." Financial terms of the deal were not
disclosed. Interestingly, Ubisoft has been a rumored takeover target
for Electronic Arts, which recently purchased a 20% stake in the
company.

o Online TV
Distributor Brightcove Raises $5.5 Million in First Round
Cambridge, Mass. -- Brightcove, a developer of online TV and
video distribution technology, announced on Tuesday that it has
raised $5.5 million in its first round of venture capital financing,
led by General Catalyst partners and Accel Partners.
Massachusetts-based Brightcove will provide an online service that
offers video publishers -- such as video bloggers and broadcast and
video-on-demand providers -- an Internet distribution channel for
their products. "We are working towards a world where television and
video production and distribution are much more democratized and
where a creative spark, a camera, and a computer are all it takes to
put television programming before the eyes of the consumer," said
Brightcove founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire. Allaire was previously
chief technology officer for Macromedia. Brightcove said the funding
will be used for product and service development, business
development, recruiting and general operations.

o Convicted
Oscar "Screener" Pirate Found Dead in Jail Cell
Los Angeles -- The Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday that a man
awaiting sentencing after being convicted on federal charges of
Internet movie piracy has been found dead in his jail cell.
Authorities told the Times that Russell Sprague, 52, may have died
of a heart attack; an autopsy is scheduled for today. Sprague faced
up to three years in prison for copying and posting online a number
of films up for Oscars last year from the "screener" versions sent
out by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences to Oscars
voters. Sprague was also ordered to pay Columbia Pictures over
$300,000 in damages. Actor Carmine Caridi, the Oscar voter and
initial recipient of the screeners obtained by Sprague, was expelled
by the Academy but not charged with any crime in connection with the
prosecution of Sprague. "It's so sad," Sprague's attorney Anthony
Brooklier told the Times. "He was upbeat. He had already served nine
months. He may have only been looking at a maximum of eight more
months."

of bringing some popular TV shows, to DVD in light of the
prohibitively high costs of licensing featured music. Shows like "WKRP
in Cincinnati," which contain countless performances because the
show is set in a radio station, may never be released in their
original form on DVD, while DVD releases of series such as "Married
With Children," "Northern Exposure" and "Quantum Leap" have had
segments of their original music replaced with less
expensively-licensed tunes. The producers of some series, including
"Moonlighting" and "Freaks & Geeks," delayed their DVD releases and
spent large sums in order to make sure that all of the original
music heard on TV is present on DVD.
