o U.S. Music Sales Rise, Global Sales
Remain Flat During 2004
Washington -- The U.S. music industry saw a reprieve from several
years of sluggish sales last year, while global sales remained flat,
according to data from the Recording Industry Association of America
(RIAA) and International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
U.S. CD shipments were up 2% in 2004, to 814 million units -- the
first increase in five years -- while the value of these shipments
to retailers was up 2.7%, to $12.2 billion. The RIAA said that 140
million digital tracks were purchased in the U.S. from online
retailers during 2004, and that DVD music video shipments increased
66%. Meanwhile, the IFPI said global music sales were flat in 2004,
with a slight decline in audio format sales offset by growth in DVD
music videos and digital downloads. While CD shipments were down
0.9% in value, DVD music videos were up 23.2%, and a total of 200
million digital tracks were sold in the four major markets: the
U.S., U.K., France and Germany. IFPI chairman and CEO John Kennedy
called the numbers the "best year-on-year performance in five
years," adding, "this is testimony to the tremendous progress of the
legitimate digital music sector in the last 12 months, as well as to
our decisive enforcement actions against illegal file-sharing."

o Kazaa Denies
Wrongdoing in Closing Arguments of Aussie Copyright Trial
Sydney -- Closing statements were given on Wednesday in the
recording industry's Australian copyright infringement case against
Kazaa file-sharing network operator Sharman Networks, with the
company arguing that the recording industry had provided no clear
evidence to prove any guilt, ZDNet Australia reported. Sharman
denied the existence of a central server that could monitor the
files swapped by its users, adding that personal information on
users that its software does report back to the company includes
only IP addresses, and no data on what is being shared. Sharman
attorneys also argued that filtering copyrighted files off of Kazaa
would be impossible, with an expert witness testifying that
"technical and economic difficulties in implementation, operation
and potential for circumvention makes it impossible to implement
filtering functionality effectively." For its part, Altnet, the
California-based partner of Sharman also sued by the recording
industry, maintained that its technology only searches for legally
licensed files that are traded on the Kazaa network. A ruling from
Justice Murray Wilcox is expected within six weeks. Meanwhile, the
U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments next week in the
recording industry's appeal against fellow file-sharing networks
StreamCast and Grokster; lower courts have consistently ruled that
such providers are not liable for any copyright infringement
committed by users of their file-sharing software.

o Major News
Publishers Buy Stake in Online News Aggregator Topix.net
McLean, Va. -- Major news publishers Gannett (USA Today),
Knight-Ridder and Tribune announced on Wednesday that they have
jointly acquired a 75% stake in Topix.net, a California company that
continuously monitors breaking news from over 10,000 online sources
and categorizes the content into over 300,000 topics. The ownership

another 25% being retained by Topix.net's founders. Financial terms

infrastructure. Topix.net syndicates its content through
partnerships and thousands of websites that host news feeds
featuring ads pertinent to the topic or location of the news feed.

o Hyundai to
Install XM Satellite Radios Across Entire Vehicle Line
Washington -- XM Satellite Radio, a provider of

o Vivendi
Universal Games Acquires "Simpsons" Game Developer Radical
Los Angeles -- Vivendi Universal Games, the video game publishing
division of the Franco-American conglomerate, announced on Wednesday
that it has acquired Vancouver-based developer Radical
Entertainment, creator of titles including "The Simpsons: Hit & Run"
and "The Hulk." Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Radical and its 200 developers will remain in Vancouver, led by
founder and president Ian Wilkinson. The studio's two titles based
on Fox's "The Simpsons" have sold a combined 6.5 million units,
while its "The Hulk" title sold over 2 million. Radical is now
working on several titles for launch in 2005, including "Scarface,"

o Briefly Noted: (London) U.K.
TV channel Five announced on Wednesday that it has become the first
broadcaster in the country to offer parts of its shows for sale as
legal downloads. As of this week, viewers of motoring show "Fifth
Gear" can pay about $2.80 for "DVD quality" clips of car reviews,
the broadcaster said. Local download firm 7 Digital has been
contracted to provide the technology for the online shop.
"Broadcasters have seen the revenues attainable from music downloads
and are eager to do the same with their own content," said 7 Digital
Managing Director Ben Drury. "TV footage can work so much harder for
broadcasters, with the Internet now a commercially sound
distribution channel."

Stars recording artists the Decemberists, who decided to distribute
their new music video "Sixteen Military Wives" as a high-quality
video file on the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing network. "No
matter where you stand on issues of copyright, a network like
BitTorrent is really for exactly this kind of thing -- when you have
content that you want to freely distribute," Kill Rock Stars founder
Silm Moon told Wired News. "It seems like ... the most logical way
to distribute." Aaron Stewart, the video's director, added that he
preferred offering fans the high-quality BitTorrent version rather
than the postage stamp-sized streams offered on MTV.com. The
Decemberists' video has been downloaded more than 1,700 times since
being released on BitTorrent over the weekend.
