o Report: U.S. Online Gamblers Doubled in 2005; Only 19% Think It's Illegal

Washington - The number of online gamblers in the U.S. doubled in 2005, to nearly four percent of the country's population, according to a report conducted by Peter D. Hart Research Associates for the American Gaming Association (AGA). Online gambling generated $12 billion in revenue during 2005, about half of which came from U.S. residents betting on gambling sites situated overseas; it is illegal to operate online casinos in the U.S. In fact, despite the Justice Dept.'s contention that it is illegal for Americans to place bets online, only 19% of U.S. online gamblers polled believed the practice was illegal. Seventy percent of those polled said they began gambling online within the past two years. A U.S. House Judiciary subcommittee last week approved a bill that would ban Internet gambling in the U.S.; the bill will soon be taken up by the full House Judiciary Committee. Meanwhile, the AGA report said gambling revenue at U.S. brick-and-mortar casinos grew 5% in 2005, to a record $30.3 billion.

o Bill Would Ban Minors' Access to Social Networks at Schools, Libraries

San Francisco - House Republicans have introduced a bill that would prohibit minors' access to social networking sites at schools and libraries, CNET News.com reported. The Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA), authored by Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick (R-Penn.) and backed by House Speaker Dennis Hastert, would ban students' access to sites that let them create personal profiles and that feature chat rooms and other forms of online communication that can subject them to sexual advances. "We've all heard stories of children on some of these social Web sites meeting up with dangerous predators," said Rep. Hastert. "This legislation adds another layer of protection." The director of the American Library Association's office of government relations, Lynne Bradley, told CNET News.com that librarians are "as protective of kids as any other protection in this whole field, but we do know there are legitimate uses (of social-networking sites)." Some schools already block access to sites like MySpace, Facebook and Friendster, prompting enterprising students to take elaborate steps like setting up online proxies to their home computers, which allow them to bypass filters and access the social networks from school computers.

o Traffic to Social Networking Sites Grows 47% from a Year Ago

New York - The popularity of social networking sites continued to grow in April, according to new figures from Nielsen//NetRatings. The firm said that traffic to the top 10 social networking sites collectively grew 47% from the same time in 2005, reaching a total of 68.8 million unique visitors, or 45% of active web users in the U.S. MySpace, which has attracted significant media attention of late, topped the list (38.4 million unique visitors), followed by Blogger, Classmates Online and YouTube. "Social networking is not a fad that will disappear," said Jon Gibs, senior director of media for Nielsen//NetRatings. "If anything, it will become more ingrained in mainstream sites, just as reality TV programming has become ubiquitous in network programming."

o ICANN Votes Against Creation of .XXX Web Domain for Pornography

Marina del Rey, Calif. - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has voted against a proposal to create a special .xxx domain for adult entertainment, the Associated Press reported. The proposal faced opposition from conservative groups, who said it lacked teeth because pornography sites would still be able to maintain their .com addresses, instead of being relegated to the .xxx domain. The pornography industry was also against the proposal because it would potentially allow governments to more easily filter speech protected by the First Amendment in the U.S.

o TiVo Interactive Ad Lets Viewers Create Custom Lexus

Alviso, Calif. - TiVo on Thursday introduced a custom application designed for one of its advertisers, Lexus, that lets viewers customize a Lexus vehicle, view detailed photos and find the closest Lexus dealer from their televisions. The Lexus Car Configuration Tool will be integrated into a TiVo Showcase, a video-on-demand ad content package sent to set-tops that viewers may opt to view. "Delivering the first advertiser custom application on TiVo boxes allows us to further our lead in the industry in providing interactive and integrated advertising solutions through the television," said Davina Kent, vice president of national ad sales for TiVo. "TiVo is committed to developing products and partnering with innovative advertisers to deliver relevant, interactive advertising that enhances the overall entertainment experience for TiVo subscribers."

o Warner Music Forms Korean Digital Music Joint Venture with SK Telecom

Hong Kong - Warner Music International has partnered with South Korean telco SK Telecom to form a new joint venture that will distribute music from Warner's Korean artists both online and to mobile phones in Korea. Warner will have majority ownership of WS Entertainment, which will be funded by $8.6 million from Warner Music Korea and SK Telecom's Seoul Records, as well as the SK-KTB Music Investment Fund. "Today's first-of-its-kind agreement with SK Telecom, one of the world's most technologically advanced media distributors, is part of Warner Music's broader strategy to partner with a wide array of innovative companies to sign, develop and distribute music-based content," said Alex Zubillaga, executive vice president of digital strategy and business development at Warner Music Group.

o Fox to Distribute Flash-Animated Online Serial "Broken Saints" on DVD

Los Angeles - Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has acquired the rights to "Broken Saints," a popular Flash-animated online graphic novel, and will release a four-disc DVD set containing all 24 episodes, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
