o Warner Music Group Files for $750
Million IPO
New York -- Warner Music Group, one of the world's four major
record labels, on Friday detailed its plans in an SEC filing for an
initial public offering that aims to raise up to $750 million. The
company was purchased from Time Warner last year for $2.6 billion by
a group of investors, led by Edgar Bronfman Jr. Warner Music plans
to use proceeds from the IPO both to repay company debt and for
general corporate purposes. The company's labels, including Warner,
Elektra and Atlantic, are home to over 38,000 recording artists;
Warner Music's worldwide sales rose 1% in 2004 to $32 billion.

o Apple Wins
Subpoena of Records from Trade Secrets Publisher
San Francisco -- A federal judge ruled on Friday that Apple can
subpoena the records of a Mac enthusiast site that published details
of an unreleased Apple product, in a case being watched as both a
test of both trade secret laws and the rights of bloggers to keep
confidential sources like journalists. Apple subpoenaed the online
records of PowerPage in an effort to unmask the source of a leak of
internal product information that was published online; the company
is also separately suing a different site (Think Secret) for
soliciting the trade secrets that it published. "Unlike the
whistleblower who discloses a health, safety or welfare hazard
affecting all, or the government employee who reveals mismanagement
or worse by our public officials, (the enthusiast sites) are doing
nothing more than feeding the public's insatiable desire for
information," Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge James P.
Kleinberg wrote, in his ruling. The judge did not address whether
bloggers should be granted the right to keep confidential sources,
but his ruling did seemingly strengthen the rights of companies
seeking redress against publishers of their trade secrets. The
Electronic Frontier Foundation, which represented defendant and
PowerPage publisher Jason O'Grady, said it will appeal the ruling.

o Nintendo
Details "Revolution" GameCube Console Successor
San Francisco -- Japanese video games firm Nintendo this week
announced details of its next-generation GameCube console successor,
codenamed "Revolution," revealing that the new device will offer
both Wi-Fi capabilities and, for the first time, backward
compatibility with current game titles for the GameCube. The
Revolution will run on a processing chip developed by IBM --
codenamed "Broadway" -- and a graphics chip created by ATI
Technologies. Both Microsoft's and Sony's next-generation consoles
will also run on chips at least co-developed by IBM, while Sony will
use an Nvidia graphics chip and Microsoft will switch from Nvidia to
ATI for the next Xbox graphics chip. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata
also said that the company plans to launch a Wi-Fi service for its
Nintendo DS handheld game later this year, adding that worldwide DS
shipments have now surpassed 4 million units.

o Report:
U.S. Video Game Sales Up 13% in February
Los Angeles -- U.S. video game sales were up 13% for the month of
February, bolstered by the release of Sony's "Gran Turismo 4" and
continued strong sales for Take-Two's "Grand Theft Auto: San
Andreas," according to data from market research firm NPD Group.
Analysts citing NPD data said that "Gran Turismo 4" was the
top-selling title during the month, followed by Electronic Arts'
"NBA Street Vol. 3" and Take-Two's "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas."
In terms of console sales, Sony's PlayStation 2 outsold both the
Xbox and GameCube in February, and has now sold over 1 million units
to date this year.

o CNET:
Yahoo Plans Text Ad Service to Compete with Google
San Francisco -- Yahoo is developing a self-service, text-based
online advertising service for Web publishers to compete with
Google's AdSense offering, sources familiar with the plan told CNET
News.com. The two companies already compete in the market to provide
text-based search ads to larger publishers, but Google currently
dominates the market for smaller publishers with its self-service
AdSense network. Competition in the market to provide such ads to
publishers -- which only charge advertisers when Web searchers click
on an ad -- could result in publishers receiving a larger share of
overall ad revenue. Although Google does not provide itemized
AdSense performance, the company's total syndicated search revenues
accounted for 48% of its $3.1 billion in revenues for 2004.

o Judge
Dismisses Some Marvel Claims Against NCsoft Over "City of Heroes"
Los Angeles -- A federal judge in Los Angeles this week dismissed
several of comic book publisher Marvel's trademark and copyright
infringement claims against video game publisher NCsoft and Cryptic
Studios, which created the "City of Heroes" massively multiplayer
online roleplaying game. The game allows users to create their own
superhero characters with various traits and powers, who then
interact with one another in an online environment. Marvel's suit
against NCsoft and Cryptic alleges that these user-created
characters are stolen from its own stable of comic book superheroes,
which includes Spider-Man, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. U.S.
District Court Judge R. Gary Klausner has dismissed more than half
of Marvel's claims, including those that alleged direct trademark
infringement by defendants and liability for infringement by players
of "City of Heroes." In addition, it was revealed that Marvel
staffers actually created some of the purported "City of Heroes"
user characters submitted as evidence of infringement. The trial
will now move forward on copyright infringement and contributory
copyright infringement claims that survived the motion to dismiss.

o Xfire
Countersues Yahoo Over Video Game IM Patents
Menlo Park, Calif. -- Xfire, a developer of instant messaging and
social networking tools for online games, announced that it has
filed a countersuit against Yahoo, which sued Xfire claiming a
former Yahoo employee now at Xfire developed products that infringe
Yahoo patents. In its suit, Xfire asks the court to dismiss Yahoo's
complaint, and also alleges that Yahoo's action is a ploy to shut
Xfire down or gain favorable licensing terms for its in-game instant
messaging technology. The company is also seeking unspecified
damages from Yahoo.

o Report: IPTV
Will Generate $7.2 Billion, 25.3 Million Subscribers by 2008
Sunnyvale, Calif. -- Worldwide subscribers to IPTV services,
which deliver TV, video-on-demand and other video services over
broadband networks, will grow from 1.9 million in 2004 to 25.3
million in 2008, according to a report from Sunnyvale, Calif.-based
Multimedia Research Group (MRG). Associated revenue growth is
forecasted to rise from $635 million in 2004 to $7.2 billion in
2008. The firm cited plans by SBC and BellSouth to deploy large IPTV
networks in the U.S., as well as Verizon's plans to use IPTV to
offer video-on-demand to its subscribers. Abroad, the deployment of
IPTV video-on-demand by China Telecom, and continued subscriber
growth for established IPTV providers Free in France, PCCW in Hong
Kong and FastWeb in Italy will also contribute to the rapid growth
of the IPTV market, MRG said.

o Wisconsin
Gov. Proposes "iPod Tax" for Online Digital Music Sales
San Francisco -- Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle has proposed that the
state begin collecting taxes on digital music and other content sold
online, an idea that Republican lawmakers in the state have said
they will block, CNET News.com reported. Already in South Dakota and
Utah, consumers who do not voluntarily pay a couple extra cents in
"use tax" above the $0.99 cost of a digital music download are
technically breaking the law. Such laws usually only require online
retailers like Apple to collect the tax if they have a physical
presence in the state of purchase. In practice, neither South Dakota
nor Utah pursue individuals for evading their use taxes. "It's an
issue of tax equity...If you go into a Main Street business and
purchase a CD, you are paying tax," Wisconsin Department of Revenue
spokeswoman Jessica Iverson told News.com. "Even if it does pass,
it's unlikely that there would be much compliance," Wisconsin state
Rep. Scott Jensen, who is working to defeat the proposal, told
News.com.

Zone4Play Acquires Interactive TV Developer MiXTV
Wilmington, Del. -- Zone4Play, a developer of games for

acquired the outstanding minority interest in MiXTV, a developer of
text message-based interactive TV applications. Zone4Play has now
completed a full acquisition of the company from Israel-based NetFun

Delaware-based Zone4Play will acquire rights to MiXTV's broadcast
SMS-TV interactive fixed-odds betting channel, which will launch on
The Poker Channel next month. Zone4Play added that MiXTV is also in
negotiations to sign additional broadcast carriage agreements in the

o Number of
DSL Lines Worldwide Increased 60% in 2004
London -- According to the latest figures from market analysis
firm PointTopic, the number of DSL lines worldwide increased to more
than 96.9 million in 2004, a remarkable 60% increase compared to
2003. This marked an absolute increase of more than 35 million lines
last year. China extended its lead as the world's top DSL country,
boasting 17.1 million lines. China also added more than 4.4 million
lines in the second half of 2004 alone, nearly twice as many lines
added by the U.S., which came in second on PointTopic's report.
Japan came in third place, adding nearly 1.3 million lines to bring
its total to about 13.3 million. Europe also recorded strong growth,
with France, Germany, Italy and the U.K. all adding more than 1
million DSL lines last year. France fared the best of the lot,
adding more than 1.6 million lines to take its total to nearly 6.3
million. In fact, PointTopic said France would likely overtake
Germany (6.7 million lines) in fifth place sometime this year
