o Justice Dept. Launches Digital Music Pricing Probe, Following Spitzer's Lead

Washington - Likely spurred by a similar probe launched by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, the U.S. Justice Department announced that it has opened an investigation into possible collusion between the major record labels on digital music pricing. "The Antitrust Division is looking at the possibility of anti-competitive practices in the music download industry," Justice Department spokeswoman Gina Talamona told Reuters. The investigations from Spitzer and the Justice Dept. both relate to the possible fixing of wholesale prices for digital music, industry sources told Reuters. Currently, the industry standard price for a digital song is 99 cents on services like iTunes and Napster, although label executives have said publicly they would like to initiate variable pricing for song downloads. Billboard reported that sources said Spitzer was investigating alleged "most favored nation" status that labels have with digital music services, such that no label can receive a deal worse than its competitors, effectively fixing prices. Record labels declined comment to both Billboard and Reuters, but sources close to the labels told Billboard that Justice Dept. subpoenas are expected to be forthcoming.

o Violent Video Game Bills Shelved in Utah, Iowa

Salt Lake City, Utah - A bill passed in the Utah State House, that would have branded violent video games as obscenity and prohibited them from sale to minors much like pornography, has failed to move in the Utah State Senate, and thus will not move forward this year. "We are pleased that the Utah bill was not enacted at this time," said Doug Lowenstein, president of the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), a video game trade group that has sued to overturn similar laws in several states. "We continue to believe that bills such as this one are both unconstitutional and unnecessary." Meanwhile, a bill in the state of Iowa that would have banned the sale of violent video games to minors has also been defeated, after failing to be brought to a vote before a deadline passed.

o Microsoft Accuses EU of Colluding with Software Rivals

Brussels - The protracted antitrust battle between Microsoft and the European Commission escalated this week after the software giant accused the Commission of colluding with its rivals. Microsoft claims the Commission established "inappropriate" contacts between its competitors and Neil Barrett, the independent trustee appointed to ensure the company's compliance with an EU ruling that Microsoft abused its market position. The Commission was less than amused with Microsoft's latest accusation. "If we pursue the line we are following now, there will be fines, and they won't be small fines," EU Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes told Dow Jones Newswires.

o AOL Says It Won't Charge Non-Profits for Mass E-mail

Dulles, Va. - Responding to mounting criticism about its plan to charge fees to senders of mass e-mails, America Online on Friday said that it will withhold the fees for qualifying not-for-profit organizations. The company said that non-profits will have two options, either qualifying for AOL's program that handles and delivers e-mail as if it were "certified," or using a third-party accreditation service to authenticate their e-mail. AOL said that it will pay the flat-rate, sign-up costs associated with the third-party program. "We announce this today to make sure that there is no further confusion or question about what not-for-profits would need to do to be able to communicate to AOL members," said Charles Stiles, AOL's postmaster. "There will be no requirement, ever, for not-for-profits who deliver e-mail to AOL members to pay for e-mail certification and delivery." The company recently announced plans to charge senders of mass e-mails from 1/4 of a cent to 1 cent per message, with the idea that spammers won't pay the fee.

o MTV to Promote Programming on YouTube Video-Sharing Service

New York - Viacom's MTV Networks has signed an agreement with YouTube, a video-sharing site that has been criticized of late for allowing users to post copyrighted content, and will distribute promotional videos for MTV2 on the service, according to The Hollywood Reporter. MTV2 will offer promotional clips for upcoming seasons and DVD releases of series including "The Andy Milonakis Show" and "Wonder Showzen." Recently, NBC Universal and CBS News have requested that YouTube remove hundreds of copyrighted videos from its site, consisting mainly of clips edited by users and posted to share with friends. In addition to complying with copyright holders' requests, YouTube now asks users uploading videos to verify that they own the content they are posting, and has launched a co-branded "premium content provider program." MTV2 is the first partner for the program.

o Berkshire Hathaway Completes Acquisition of Business Wire

San Francisco - Berkshire Hathaway, the Nebraska-based investment firm run by financier Warren Buffett, said this week it has completed its acquisition of San Francisco-based Business Wire, a major distributor of corporate press releases and regulatory filings on the Internet. Financial terms of the deal, first announced in mid-January, were not disclosed.

o Report: Worldwide Computer-Chip Sales Increase by 7%

London - Worldwide sales of semiconductors reached €16.4 billion ($19.7 billion) in January, 7% higher than the year before, but 1.5% lower than December, according to new figures from the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). The SIA said chip sales in January fared relatively well after the holiday season. "The new year got off to a good start for the global semiconductor industry with strong year-on-year growth in a historically weak month," said SIA President George Scalise. "Retail sales, including consumer electronics products, were relatively strong in January and helped dampen the expected seasonal decline in sales."
