o House Committee Approves Bill That Would Ban Internet Gambling

Washington - A bill that would prohibit U.S. companies from accepting credit cards, checks, and wire and electronic funds transfers such as PayPal as payments for online gambling has passed in the House Financial Services Committee, Reuters reported. The bill is intended in part to target offshore gambling sites frequented by U.S. residents, and would cover any gambling establishment not permitted by federal or state law. The bill, which now moves to the House floor, has been opposed by Antigua, a haven for offshore gaming operations, as well as Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. "Adults are entitled to do with their money what they want to do," said Frank.

o ESA Seeks Legal Fee Reimbursement From State of Illinois

Washington - The Entertainment Software Association (ESA), a video game industry trade group, said on Thursday that it has filed a petition in the U.S. District Court seeking nearly $645,000 in legal fees related to the state of Illinois' unsuccessful effort to enact a law banning the sale of violent video games to children. In December, a federal court judge handed down a permanent injunction halting the new state law, ruling it unconstitutional. "We had hoped to reach a settlement without the need to file this petition," said ESA president Doug Lowenstein. "Unfortunately, while it was clear we could agree on the amount of fees to be reimbursed, the state made other demands which we could not accept."

o Leading Internet, Payment Companies Team to Fight Child Porn

Alexandria, Va. - Eighteen of the world's most prominent financial institutions and Internet companies have joined with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and its international sibling in an effort to eradicate the growing problem of Internet child pornography. The new Financial Coalition Against Child Pornography said that its goal is to eliminate commercial child porn by 2008 by stopping the flow of money to its creators and distributors. To that end, all the major credit card companies and web payments company PayPal have teamed with Internet giant such as AOL, Microsoft and Yahoo. The organization said that child pornography has become a multi-billion dollar commercial enterprise and is among the fastest growing businesses on the Internet, in part because of how easy it has become to purchase child porn by using credit cards and other online payment methods.

o MusicBrainz, MusicIP to Combine Track ID Service, Online Music Encyclopedia

Austin - MusicBrainz, a user-maintained online music encyclopedia, announced that it has partnered with MusicIP, developer of a "music relationship engine," with the two pledging to combine and share music identification and metadata. MusicIP's MusicDNS service -- similar to Gracenote's CDDB, which identifies a CD based on the number of tracks and the length of those tracks -- has identified a growing library of 16 million tracks based on their acoustic properties. The MusicBrainz community of nearly 200,000 registered users has so far catalogued 4.5 million tracks from 370,000 artists. MusicIP said that it will donate 10% of revenue from the delivery of MusicBrainz data via MusicDNS back to the MetaBrainz Foundation, which maintains the non-profit MusicBrainz community.

o MovieBandits.com Launches Online DVD "Trading" Service
 
Dallas -
MovieBandits.com on Thursday announced the launch of its online service that enables the trading of new and used DVDs.

Dallas-based MovieBandits.com is a business-to-consumer trading service, with a warehouse of 250,000 DVDs, as opposed to a peer-based trading service like PeerFlix. Users purchase new or used DVDs and pay a $2.99 shipping and handling fee for the first title, plus $1.25 for each additional title per order -- and may also sell unwanted titles to the company. The service has been in beta testing since January, and now claims 10,000 registered customers; Perkovich said he expects to reach an average of 5,000 trades per month by May 2006.
