o CBS Sues Howard Stern, Sirius
for Breach of Radio Contract
New York - CBS Corporation announced on Wednesday that it
has sued radio shock jock Howard Stern, claiming Stern used the last
months of his contract at CBS to promote his new broadcasting
partner Sirius Satellite Radio on the air, resulting in a $220
million stock windfall for Stern. CBS is suing Stern for
compensatory and punitive damages for multiple breaches of contract,
fraud, unjust enrichment and "misappropriation of CBS Radio's
broadcast time"; the company is also seeking damages from Sirius,
for unfair competition and interfering with Stern's CBS contract.
The CBS suit says Stern's promotion of Sirius on CBS Radio --
allegedly in breach of his contract -- helped Sirius reach
subscriber targets that in turn accelerated Stern's stock payment
from 2010 to January 2006. The Motley Fool reported that CBS may
have a hard time proving its case, as it paid Stern to talk about
his own life -- which often included discussions about his employers
-- and it could have censored talk about Sirius the way it sometimes
censored other program content. Sirius shares were down about 1.4%
on Wednesday.

o Justice
Dept.: Three Plead Guilty to Online Piracy of "Pre-release" CDs
Washington - The U.S. Justice Department said on Wednesday
that it has obtained guilty pleas from three men accused of
distributing "pre-release" copies of songs on the Internet, as part
of its Operation FastLink anti-piracy initiative. Assistant Attorney
General Alice S. Fisher and U.S. Attorney Paul J. McNulty said that
21-year-old Derek A. Borchardt, of Charlotte, N.C.; 24-year-old
Matthew B. Howard, of Longmont, Colo.; and 31-year-old Aaron O.
Jones, of Hillsboro, Ore. have each pled guilty to one count of
criminal copyright infringement. The men were involved with a group
called "Apocalypse Crew," which obtained CDs before their commercial
releases from sources such as radio DJs, employees of music magazine
publishers, or workers at CD manufacturing plants, and uploaded them
onto servers through which the songs eventually reached peer-to-peer
file-sharing networks. Under a new federal law that stiffened
penalties for "pre-release" piracy, each man will face up to five
years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Sentencing for these three and
31-year-old George Hayes, of Danville, Va. -- who also pleaded
guilty to pre-release music piracy in an unrelated case -- is
scheduled for May 19.

o Napster
Criticizes Music Service Technology Partner Microsoft
New York - Napster CEO Chris Gorog on Wednesday criticized
the Microsoft technology that powers delivery of its digital music
subscription service to PCs and portable music players, Reuters
reported. "Our business does rely on Microsoft's digital rights
management software and our business model also relies on
Microsoft's ecosystem of device manufacturers," said Napster
chairman and CEO Chris Gorog. "There is no question that their
execution has been less than brilliant over the last 12 months."
Apple's marriage of its rival iTunes service with a single player,
the iPod, has so far proven far more attractive to consumers than
Microsoft-powered services like Napster -- which don't support the
iPod. Gorog was still optimistic, though, adding, "To date, only 5
percent of (music) sales have migrated digitally. We are in the
very, very early days of this."

o Apple

Cupertino, Calif. - Apple on Wednesday introduced the iPod
Hi-Fi, a $349 portable home speaker system for its iPod portable
music players. Measuring 17" x 6.6" x 6.9", the Hi-Fi features an
iPod dock, an Apple Remote for wireless control, and can be powered
either through a wall socket or by six D-cell batteries. The iPod
Hi-Fi enters a market that features similar speaker products offered
by Bose and Altec-Lansing. Separately, Apple on Wednesday introduced
a line of $99 leather cases for its iPod and iPod Nano players.

o Yahoo Sues
Former Employees for Taking Trade Secrets to Mforma
Santa Clara, Calif. - Yahoo has filed suit against seven
former employees, alleging they stole Yahoo source code and other
trade secrets before leaving Yahoo to work for mobile game publisher
Mforma. The suit alleges that former Yahoo manager David Chang and
six other defendants conspired to steal internal data from Yahoo,
such as technology that streamlines delivery of mobile phone
content, and financial forecasts; it seeks a restraining order
against Mforma using the trade secrets, and unspecified damages.
Yahoo said that its evidence includes archived instant message
conversations from company laptops, in which the former employees
discuss their plans.

Developer Telltale Raises $1.4 Million in Seed Funding
San Rafael, Calif. - Video game developer Telltale

funding, led by members of the Keiretsu Forum angel investment
network. Telltale is currently developing games based on Jeff
Smith's "Bone" comics, Steve Purcell's "Sam & Max" comics, and the

o Survey:
Most Americans Prefer TV for National News, Papers for Local
Burlingame, Calif. - Most Americans get their news from
television, while newspapers continue to cede readership to the
Internet, according to a new survey of 2,800 consumers from
Burlingame-based research and advisory firm Outsell. Seventy-one
percent of respondents said that they rely on network, cable and
satellite TV as primary or secondary sources of national news, while
only a third choose their local newspapers. Another 28% access sites
like Google, Yahoo, MSN and AOL News, which aggregate national news
articles from multiple major dailies and wire services, and just 11%
rely on the websites of their daily newspapers. The statistics show
a generational chasm between older respondents, who prefer TV and
newspapers, and younger, who prefer online access for their news and
information. When it comes to local news, however, 61% of consumers
still turn to their newspapers first.
