Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. - CBS SportsLine announced on Friday that its March Madness on Demand free online video service set an Internet record yesterday for a scheduled live entertainment or sports event, serving over 268,000 simultaneous streams of first round games from the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship. In total, the company served streams to over 2 million users in the first 24 hours of the event, and reported over 150,000 people in its "waiting room" just after the first games started, awaiting available bandwidth. "What we've done is complement the biggest college sports event of the year with the largest known simultaneous live viewing audience in the history of the Internet for an event of this kind," said Larry Kramer, president of CBS Digital Media.

o Warner Delays, Scales Back Release of First Batch of HD DVD Movies

Burbank, Calif. - Warner Home Video has announced that technical issues have compelled the company to postpone and scale back the release of its first batch of movie titles on Toshiba's next-generation HD DVD format. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner will now release just three films -- "Million Dollar Baby," "The Phantom of the Opera" and "The Last Samurai" -- on April 18, instead of the 20 promised on March 28. The remaining titles are now scheduled to ship in subsequent weeks. "We're using new copy protection, new compression, new codecs, and we want to make sure the product that goes out is flawless," Warner's senior vice president of market management, Stephen Nickerson, told THR. Warner will begin shipping catalog HD DVD titles in July, when its first titles on Sony's rival Blu-ray Disc format are also slated for release.

o MPAA to Showcase Studio-Friendly P2P Technologies at Trade Show

Los Angeles - The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) plans next week to host a booth at the TelecomNEXT conference in Las Vegas, at which it will demonstrate what it deems to be legitimate digital content distribution technologies from Audible Magic, BitTorrent, CacheLogic, Peer Impact, Red Swoosh and Thomson Content Security. Audible Magic already has deals with Universal Music Group and Sony Music to provide copyright filtering technology for peer-to-peer networks, and is providing its technology to Snocap for the forthcoming Mashboxx music file-sharing service; CacheLogic provides P2P traffic management for ISP networks; and Thomson Content Security provides copyright-protection technologies to the studios. The other three firms provide peer-to-peer file-sharing technologies: Red Swoosh speeds peer-to-peer content delivery for media firms; Peer Impact operates a file-sharing network that has already been utilized by NBC Universal; and BitTorrent, a file-sharing technology that has been targeted by the MPAA -- which labored to shut down BitTorrent tracker sites in Europe -- recently agreed to filter illegal MPAA content from its website, and is now in talks with the studios. BitTorrent also recently partnered with U.K. cable operator ntl to trial a service that delivers movies and TV shows. MPAA CEO Dan Glickman said these firms "are representative of all those working on more ways to legally bring our movies to consumers and developing innovative solutions for protecting copyrights. By giving these innovators an opportunity to demonstrate their advances, we hope to encourage them and others to continue their important work."

Redwood City, Calif. - Electronic Arts, the developer and publisher of video games, said on Friday that it plans to complete its acquisition of Swedish game developer Digital Illusions CE (DICE). EA already owns about 68% of company shares through previous tender offers, but now plans to acquire the remaining stake for $8.80 a share, effectively making DICE a fully integrated studio within EA.

o Google's $1 Billion Investment in AOL to Close in Second Quarter

Dulles, Va. - Internet search giant Google expects its $1 billion investment in America Online to close during the second quarter, the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The companies initially agreed to the deal, under which Google will acquire a 5% stake in AOL, in late December. The close, however, has since been slightly delayed, primarily due to ongoing negotiations about commercial agreements between the companies, the filing indicated. The deal is expected to create a cross-promotional atmosphere, with AOL selling ads that will be displayed on the Google network, and Google promoting AOL's properties in the sponsored links section of its search results.
