o Swedish Police Seize Servers, Shut Down P2P Site The Pirate Bay

Stockholm, Sweden - Police in Sweden have raided 10 locations, seized computer servers and shut down The Pirate Bay, a popular free file-sharing site, according to a statement from the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). Police spokesman Ulf Goranzon told the Associated Press that police detained three Swedes, ages 22, 24, and 28, on suspicion of violating copyright laws. The MPAA filed a criminal complaint in Sweden in November 2004 against The Pirate Bay, which offers links to media files available for download on the BitTorrent peer-to-peer network. The MPAA said the site hosted 157,000 illegal files, including the films "The Da Vinci Code" and "Mission: Impossible III," and estimated the site takes in $60,000 in advertising per month. "The actions today taken in Sweden serve as a reminder to pirates all over the world that there are no safe harbors for Internet copyright thieves," said MPAA chairman and CEO Dan Glickman. "Intellectual property theft is a problem for film industries all over the world and we are glad that the local government in Sweden has helped stop The Pirate Bay from continuing to enable rampant copyright theft on the Internet."

o XM Halts Shipments of Some Radios Over FCC Emission Concerns

Washington - XM Satellite Radio, a provider of subscription radio programming with 6.5 million subscribers, announced on Wednesday that it has suspended shipments of some of its radios to retailers, after the FCC gave the company notice that the FM transmitter on the devices did not meet its emission standards. XM said that it is exploring making changes to radios including the Delphi XM SKYFi2 and Audiovox Xpress, such as adding small attachments that reduce emissions through the antenna or cigarette lighter adapter. Washington-based XM said the suspension does not affect any radios that are installed by auto manufacturers or dealers.

o Report: Internet Ad Spending Rose 19.4% in First Quarter to $2.31 Billion

New York - A 19.4% increase in Internet ad spending helped fuel a 5.2% overall increase in U.S. ad spending during the first quarter of 2006, according to a report from market research firm TNS Media Intelligence. Internet ad spending accounted for $2.31 of the $34.9 billion spent on advertising in the U.S. in the first three months of the year. While Internet ad spending saw the greatest increase, other growth areas included network TV (12.3%, $6.52 billion), consumer magazines (5.9%, $4.83 billion) and Spanish-language media (14.2%, $1.05 billion). Sectors that experienced declines in ad spending included local newspapers (-6.1%, $5.55 billion) and radio (-1.2%, $2.34 billion). "The moderate increase in Q1 advertising expenditures fell a bit short of our previously released growth forecast of 5.5 percent," said TNS Media Intelligence president and CEO Steven Fredericks.

o Survey: 54% of Online Adults Plan to Buy Portable Media Device

Arlington, Va. - One in three adults who use the Internet, or 54.1 million Americans, owns a portable digital media device, and more than half (54%) plan to buy one over the next year, according to a report from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). Listening to music is currently the most popular activity on such devices (94%). However, while only 15% of players shipped in 2005 could play video, that percentage is expected to double this year, for the estimated 28 million portable players that will ship in 2006. "Digital media players that can house entire libraries of digital audio and video content have remained a niche market until now. Results of this study indicate that this trend is gaining critical mass," said Steve Koenig, CEA's senior manager of industry analysis. The study also found that less than half of portable device owners currently purchase content for their devices online, but 71% plan to buy music or video online in the coming year.
