o Supreme Court Hears Arguments in
Landmark File-Sharing Copyright Case Washington -- Oral arguments
were presented to the Supreme Court on Tuesday in MGM v. Grokster,
the landmark copyright infringement case pitting the entertainment
industry against makers of peer-to-peer file-sharing software. CNET
News.com reported that while the justices "were critical of the
entertainment industry's proposal, which would hold companies
'predominantly' supported by piracy liable for copyright
infringement," they also "showed little sympathy for the
file-swapping companies' business model." The Associated Press
reported that justices "wondered aloud whether such lawsuits might
have discouraged past inventions like copy machines, videocassette
recorders and iPod portable music players," while also asking
"whether profits from trafficking in stolen property can rightfully
be used to help finance a young technology business." The Los
Angeles Times reported that Justice Sandra Day O'Connor "suggested a
software firm could be sued and put out of business if it drew
customers by touting its system as a way to obtain free copies of
copyrighted music," a compromise short of allowing lawsuits against
any peer-to-peer software company. Outside the court, a group of
Nashville musicians protested on behalf of the entertainment
industry, while file-sharing advocates carried signs with messages
such as "Save Betamax."

o Internet
Entrepreneur Takes Apple to High Court Over iTunes.co.uk
London -- Benjamin Cohen, a 22-year-old Internet entrepreneur,
announced on Tuesday that he has applied to the U.K. High Court for
a judicial review of a case concerning the iTunes domain name.
Earlier this month, Nominet, the U.K. domain name registry service,
awarded the itunes.co.uk domain name to computer giant Apple,
despite the fact Cohen registered it three years before Apple
launched its online music shop. The registry said that, by offering
to sell the domain name and continuing to re-direct people from
itunes.co.uk, Cohen had abused his registration. "The domain name,
in the hands of the respondent (Cohen), is an abusive registration
on the grounds of its use in a manner taking unfair advantage of,
and being unfairly detrimental to, the rights of the complainant
(Apple)," Nominet said. Cohen, however, accused Nominet of being
biased against small businesses. "The procedure that Nominet
utilizes to settle disputes is unfair and biased towards big
business at the expense of legitimate small British companies," he
said.

o Blockbuster
Settles With States Over "No Late Fees" Consumer Confusion
Lemoyne, Penn. -- Blockbuster has agreed to pay 47 states and the
District of Columbia a total of $630,000, and refund customers who
claim they were misled by the company's recently implemented "No
Late Fees" rental policy. Blockbuster announced its "No Late Fees"
program last year in a national promotional campaign, in part to
counter competition from online services like Netflix that do not
charge late fees for rentals; some consumers said they were misled
because Blockbuster's program does in fact charge a restocking fee,
or the full price of a movie, if it is returned seven days after the
due date. Terms of the settlement also call for Blockbuster to alter
the way it advertises its "No Late Fees" policy in the future.
Blockbuster said it will not drop the fees, but will change its
marketing to explain the terms more clearly. "We think it was pretty
well communicated from the beginning, but we are happy to make it
even clearer," said Blockbuster CEO John Antioco.

o EU
Approves Name for Stripped-Down Version of Windows
Brussels -- Microsoft announced this week that it has reached an
agreement with the European Commission that will allow the software
giant to sell a stripped-down version of its Windows operating
system in the EU under the name "Windows XP Home Edition N". The
Commission recommended the name after rejecting 10 suggestions by
Microsoft. The "Windows XP Home Edition N" or "Windows XP
Professional Edition N" editions will be sold in a matter of weeks,
Microsoft said. In a landmark ruling last year, the Commission
ordered Microsoft to offer customers a version of Windows without
its multimedia player. The two have been butting heads ever since
over a name for the operating system that would not put off
consumers.

o Google
Acquires Web Analytics Firm Urchin Software
Mountain View, Calif. -- Search engine giant Google announced
that it has acquired Urchin Software, a San Diego-based Web
analytics company. Financial terms of the transaction were not
disclosed. Urchin provides services to website owners and marketers
that help them better understand their users' experiences, optimize
content and track marketing performance. "We want to provide website
owners and marketers with the information they need to optimize
their users' experience and generate a higher return-on-investment
from their advertising spending," said Jonathan Rosenberg, Google's
vice president of product management. Google expects the acquisition
will close before the end of April.

o Atari,
Parsons School of Design Hold Retro Game Development Content
New York -- Video game publisher Atari announced on Tuesday that it
is collaborating with the Parsons School of Design in New York City
on the school's first 24-hour game design event, "Retro Redux." The
event will pit teams of students from New York-area colleges in a
challenge to design a game for the original Atari 2600 game console,
for which such classic titles as "Asteroids," "Pong" and "Missile
Command" were developed. The top overall game will be featured in an
upcoming version of Atari's Flashback game console, a plug-and-play
TV system that includes a suite of embedded game titles. "At
Parsons, students learn to think critically about the role
technology plays in the design, production, dissemination, and use
of games," said Colleen Macklin, chair of the Design and Technology
Program at Parsons. The school added that it plans to launch a game
design concentration at the BFA level, to complement its MFA-level
concentration, during the coming fall semester.

o U.K.-Based
Caspian Learning Limited Secures VC Financing
London -- Caspian Learning Ltd., a U.K.-based 3D games-based

o Briefly Noted: (Blacksburg,
Va.) Digital Bazaar, a developer of media file distribution
technology, has launched a free software program that allows
artists, or anyone to create and manage their own online digital
music store. The Bitmunk peer-to-peer sales server software uses a
peer-to-peer based distribution network to deliver songs, while
ensuring payment of royalties to artists. The system lets artists
set a wholesale price for song downloads, and then fans who loan
their PC processing power for file-sharing can add a fee for
distribution costs. "There is no reason that there should only be a
handful of online music stores -- our technology allows anybody with
a great idea for a music store to immediately start selling music,"
said Digital Bazaar CEO Manu Sporny. "Not only do we support
traditional businesses, but fans may support their favorite artists
by re-selling any of their digital music with the Bitmunk Sales
Server."
