o RIAA Sues XM Satellite Radio Over Recording Device; Stock Drops 5.7%

Washington - The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which represents the interests of the major record labels, has filed a high-profile lawsuit against XM Satellite Radio over a new satellite device that allows users to store songs for play later. XM's stock dropped 5.7% on Wednesday. The device in question -- called the Inno, and manufactured by Pioneer -- allows users to store songs they hear through the XM radio service, similar to the way TiVo enables recording of TV shows. In the lawsuit, the recording industry argued that satellite radio services are only licensed to provide their listeners with "live" songs heard on the radio service, and such recordings constitute a "sale" of a permanent copy of the songs. The lawsuit is asking $150,000 in damages for each song copied by customers of XM Satellite using the Inno. XM told Reuters the suit is also a tactic in licensing negotiations for the device, which sources familiar with the matter told Reuters have failed to generate an agreement.

o SEC Charges Former Infinium Labs CEO in Junk Fax Scam

Washington - The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has charged the former CEO of video game developer Infinium Labs in a fraudulent junk fax scheme that artificially inflated the company's stock price. The SEC alleges that former Infinium CEO Tim Roberts hired a stock promoter to send tens of thousands of faxes to potential investors, touting the impending launch of its Phantom game service in January 2005; the oft-delayed device has yet to reach the market. The fax scheme inflated the company's share price, which enabled Roberts to reap $422,500 through sales of his own shares. Roberts then issued several large checks to the stock promoter and provided him with company shares. The SEC has petitioned a federal court in Florida to make Roberts return his ill-gotten gains from the junk fax scheme, impose a penalty, and bar him from serving as an officer or director of a publicly-traded company.

o Altnet Settles P2P Patent Infringement Suits with Overpeer, Loudeye

Los Angeles - Altnet, a file-sharing technology company associated with Kazaa distributor Sharman Networks, announced that it has settled some of the patent infringement claims it brought against the music industry. In 2004, Altnet sued the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Loudeye, Overpeer, Media Sentry and several individuals for patent infringement, claiming the "spoof" files some of the defendants were using to seed the Kazaa network with bogus songs infringed on Altnet's "TrueName" technology. Altnet said that it has settled its litigation against Overpeer and Loudeye, with Overpeer admitting its interdiction activities infringed Altnet patents. Both companies agreed not to engage in those activities in the future. "We welcome this settlement as an important step toward the acknowledgement and recognition of the TrueName patents as a prerequisite to legitimate utilization and exploitation of P2P technology," said Altnet CEO Kevin Bermeister. Altnet added that the case against remaining defendants, including the RIAA, will continue with a trial likely in 2007.

o Hustler Files $20 Million Countersuit Against Mobile Distributor

Beverly Hills, Calif. - Porn magnate Larry Flynt's LFP announced on Wednesday that it has filed a $20 million counterclaim against Giant Mobile, a firm the company hired to distribute its Hustler Mobile images and videos on mobile phones. The suit claims breach of contract and infringement against Giant Mobile, and says LFP elected to terminate its license agreement with the company after conducting an audit of Giant's books and records. Last month, Santa Monica, Calif.-based Giant filed a $23 million suit against LFP for breach of contract, claiming that LFP terminated its agreement with Giant in order to cut a better deal with another company. Giant's suit also claims that LFP undermined its relationships with other adult content distributors. "We see little merit in the claims made against LFP by Giant in the arbitration, and look forward to the day when this matter is resolved in LFP's favor," said LFP president Michael Klein.
