o Movielink Offers First Permanent Movie Downloads From Major Studios

Santa Monica, Calif. - Movielink, a studio-backed Internet video-on-demand service, announced on Monday the launch of the industry's first download-to-own service for the major movie studios, which will let users for the first time purchase permanent movie downloads. The service will offer Universal Studios' "Brokeback Mountain" for purchase and download on April 4, the same day it is released on DVD; Movielink will offer similar day-and-date downloads for Sony's "Fun With Dick and Jane," and other titles from Paramount, MGM, Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox. Movie downloads will be sold to retailers like Movielink for wholesale DVD prices, with retailers free to set their own retail prices. Movielink said its titles will start at $8.99; new releases will cost around $20, in line with DVD pricing. All downloads will be delivered in Microsoft's Windows Media format and use the company's copy-protection technology; movies will be viewable on a TV through a home networking connection, and may be saved to DVD in Windows Media format. Sony and fellow studio Lionsgate said they would additionally offer movie downloads through CinemaNow, a Movielink competitor owned by Lionsgate. Other online retailers such as Apple, Amazon.com, Netflix and Wal-Mart are also expected to make deals with the studios to launch similar download-to-own services.

o America Online Officially Shortens Name to "AOL"

Dulles, Va. - Following 15 years under its previous name, America Online, a division of Time Warner, on Monday officially shortened its name to simply "AOL," in part to remove any possible cultural barriers from its various international operations. Jon Miller, the chairman and CEO of the Time Warner unit, said that the change reflects the company's expanded mission outside of America, plus "consumers in the U.S. and around the world already know us by our initials." AOL also runs portals and web services in the U.K., France, Germany, Brazil, Japan, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Argentina and Puerto Rico, as well as in several different languages. AOL also said that its legal structure has changed, from a corporation to a limited liability company.

o Court Throws Out Michigan Law Restricting Video Game Sales

Washington - The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan has thrown out a Michigan state law that restricted the sale or rental of mature or adult-rated video games to minors. Judge George Caram Steeh placed a permanent injunction against implementation of the bill, which was signed into law by Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm in September -- calling it unconstitutional. The Michigan law would have fined retailers who sold such games to minors $5,000. "Judge Steeh's ruling represents a sweeping rejection of the state's claims regarding the harmful effects of violent video games and we will move immediately for reimbursement of the substantial legal fees incurred in this court fight which the state could have, and should have, never triggered," said Douglas Lowenstein, president of the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), a video game industry trade group. Courts have consistently ruled thus far that laws banning the sale of video games to minors are unconstitutional restrictions on First Amendment free speech rights, having overturned similar laws in Illinois, California and Washington.

Dulles, Va. - AOL on Monday unveiled a new mobile browsing service designed to automatically adapt Web pages for mobile screens. The company said that the service, which can be used by wireless subscribers with Web-enabled phones, has been integrated into its various mobile search services. The launch was just one of several key wireless announcement announcements for AOL on Monday. The company also said that it has launched a new wireless version of its AOL.com portal for Sprint subscribers and debuted a new Web-enabled service for MapQuest. AOL said that a new service from MapQuest will soon allow users to access voice-guided, turn-by-turn directions from their cell phones.

o Report: Game Console Online Downloads to Generate $3.8 Billion by 2011

Oyster Bay, N.Y. - The market for downloading games and other paid content directly to video game consoles is projected to grow from less than $1 million in 2005 to over $3.8 billion by 2011, fueled by advanced online game services for the next-generation Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Revolution, according to a report from market research firm ABI Research. The firm predicts that services will soon migrate from fee-based models where gamers pay for access to the service to conduits for direct sales of games and other media to the consoles. Sony plans to launch PNP (PlayStation Network Platform), an online gaming platform for its PlayStation 3 similar to Microsoft's Xbox Live, that will enable multiplayer gaming and content downloads; Nintendo has similar plans for its Virtual Console service for the Revolution. "Online gaming for consoles and handhelds is entering its golden age," said ABI Research analyst Michael Wolf. "While some online console gaming services, such as MMOGs, will continue to require monthly or annual fees, the clear direction for the future is content delivery. Advertising will also become an increasingly important business component as the number of online gamers increases dramatically over the next few years."
