o Report: Internet Ad Revenue Hit
Record $3.9 Billion in First Quarter
New York - Internet ad revenue hit a new record of $3.9
billion in the first quarter of 2006, a 38% increase over the $2.8
billion recorded in the first quarter of 2005, according to a report
from the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) conducted by
PricewaterhouseCoopers. Online ads also generated 6% more revenue
than the $3.6 billion total from the fourth quarter of 2005. "The
steady growth of online advertising is a clear indication that
marketers continue to believe in the opportunities and effectiveness
that this medium delivers in reaching and engaging their consumers,"
said IAB chief executive Greg Stuart. "The interactive advertising
industry remains committed to the creation of a world class medium
with best-of-breed standards, measurement guidelines, research and
ad products for marketers and agencies."

o CNN, Cartoon Network
Sue Cablevision Over Network DVR Service
New York - Time Warner's Cartoon Network and CNN networks
have joined the major Hollywood movie studios and TV networks in
suing Cablevision, over the cable TV provider's planned
network-based digital video recorder service, Reuters reported.
Cablevision is developing a system where subscribers would request
that Cablevision "record" a program, which would then be accessible
from the company's servers, rather than as a file stored on a home
set-top box, such as TiVo. The studios and networks argue that the
recordings constitute a sale of their programming, and that
Cablevision should pay a license fee or royalties for the ability to
offer such a service. Cablevision said in a statement that the
lawsuit reflects that the entertainment companies don't understand
exactly how the service -- which it plans to trial next week -- will
work.

o Bulgarian
Police Shut Down Music, Movie Piracy Site
Sofia, Bulgaria - Authorities in Bulgaria have shut down
what they say was one of Europe's largest piracy websites, where
users could pay $2.50 a month for access to unlimited downloads of
20 million songs and hundreds of movies, Reuters reported. Two men
were arrested and charged with illegally distributing the media
files on Arenabg.com, which authorities estimated caused the
entertainment industry $30 million in damages. "These people are
among the biggest Internet pirates in Europe," Liliana Yosifova,
spokeswoman for the Sofia Investigators' Office, told Reuters. "We
are talking about big losses here."

o FTC Settles
With Seller of "100% Legal" File-Sharing Tutorial
Washington - The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has
settled charges against a website operator who claimed the
file-sharing network tutorial he was selling was "100 percent
legal." The FTC sued Cashier Myricks in September 2005 for selling
his $24.95 tutorial, which did not contain file-sharing software,
but taught users how to download music and movies for free using
popular programs. The settlement calls for Myricks to refund over
$15,000 to more than 600 customers. It also bars misrepresentations
about file-sharing products or services, and requires that the
operator disclose the civil and criminal liability risks of
downloading copyrighted material without the owner's permission.

o Google
Launches Video Ads on Partner Websites
Mountain View, Calif. - Google has expanded its lucrative
Web-based advertising network to include the ability for advertisers
to purchase video ads on its publisher network, CNET News.com
reported. The ads do not automatically launch when a user visits a
Web page; instead, a user must click on the video ad, which itself
contains a link to the advertiser's site. Advertisers bid for
placement on sites that accept Google video ads using the company's
automated auction system, and pay only when users click on the
videos.

Amazon Let Users Vote on Potential DVD Releases
Burbank, Calif. - Warner Home Video announced on Tuesday
the launch of DVD Decision 2006, a joint project with online
retailer Amazon.com that will ask movie fans to vote on which Warner
titles they want to see released on DVD. Warner and Amazon nominated
30 films from Warner Bros.' film library; the ten that receive the
most votes will then be made available for pre-order on August 8.
All of the chosen films will be re-mastered and feature added bonus
features. Among the 30 titles nominated for DVD release are "Al
Capone," "Cimarron," "April in Paris" and "The Man Who Loved Cat
Dancing." Warner Home Video said its two previous DVD Decision polls
drew more than a quarter million votes and sold nearly half a
million units upon release.

Nation Acquires Stake in Concert Productions International
Los Angeles - Live Nation, a concert promotion and digital

controlling interest in the touring division of Concert Productions
International (CPI), which has organized global tours for the
Rolling Stones, U2 and Pink Floyd. Financial terms of the
transaction were not disclosed. Los Angeles-based Live Nation, a
joint venture between AOL, XM Satellite Radio and AEG Live, said
that CPI chief executive Michael Cohl has joined Live Nation's board
of directors. CPI will continue to operate as a separate unit, and
will spearhead Live Nation's efforts to secure rights to content
beyond the live show, such as the live concert recordings its
Instant Live unit distributes on CD to concertgoers at the venue
following the performance.

o DVD Forum to
Implement Regional Coding for HD DVD
Seattle - The DVD Forum, a group of companies backing Toshiba's
next-generation HD DVD format, has decided to implement a regional
coding system for HD DVD movies similar to the system in place for
current DVDs. The first release of HD DVD players lacks such
technology, which ensures that discs purchased in one region cannot
be played on players in another region. However, the DVD Forum is
working with studios to develop a new regional coding system for HD
DVD. Sony's rival Blu-ray Disc format will feature regional coding
of content, but shrink the number of regions from seven to three;
North America, South America and Asia (excluding China); Europe and
Africa; and Russia, China and elsewhere.
