o Senate Commerce Committee to Revise Proposed Net Neutrality Bill

Washington - The chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee said on Wednesday that he plans to release a revised version of net neutrality provisions that have been widely criticized by Internet content providers, CNET News.com reported. Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) said that the move is necessary because "many members do not believe that the provision in the existing bill goes far enough." Net neutrality is the notion that network operators should not be allowed to charge content providers to deliver their content to consumers more quickly, a concept that would essentially divide the Internet into a "fast lane" and "slow lane." Current language in the Senate's communications bill calls for the FCC to oversee the situation, and report any violations to Congress. Several Democrats and at least one Republican, however, want language that would strictly prohibit operators from prioritizing content. The new language is expected to be released later this week, with a hearing scheduled for next Tuesday.

o U.K. Record Label Trade Group to Sue Russian Download Store AllofMP3

London - The major record label trade group in the U.K. has announced plans to sue rogue Russian download store AllofMP3.com for copyright infringement in the U.K. courts. The site was recently revealed to be the second-most-popular music download store in the U.K., behind Apple's iTunes Store. While AllofMP3.com claims to operate within Russian laws and compensate artists through local collection societies, the British Phonographic Institute (BPI) said these claims are false and neither artists nor record companies receive payments from the site. "We are going to sue AllofMP3.com in the UK courts -- we are going to seek a judgment not against the users of the site, but against the site itself," said BPI general counsel Roz Groome. BPI's counterparts, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), last year urged Russian police to investigate the site. Although Moscow police recommended copyright infringement charges, Russian prosecutors declined to take up the case.

o Apple Files Second Countersuit Against Creative Over MP3 Player Patents

Singapore - Apple Computer has filed a second patent infringement countersuit against MP3 player maker Creative Technology, Reuters reported. Last month, Creative sued Apple and filed a complaint with the U.S. Trade Representative, alleging the company's iPods infringed on the user interface design patent on its own Nomad and Zen MP3 players. Creative asked for damages as well as an injunction against further iPod sales and import of the devices from Apple's Asian manufacturers. Apple then filed its first countersuit against Creative, claiming damages and infringement of four of its own patents. The second countersuit from Apple was filed last Thursday in federal court in Texas. It claims Creative infringes on three additional Apple patents, related to displaying data on a computer; editing data on a portable device; and the use of icons in file organization. Court documents seen by Reuters show Apple is seeking unspecified cash damages and an injunction to prevent further infringements.

o Report: Streaming Music Subscription Revenue to Hit $340 Million in 2006

Dublin - Revenue from subscription-based streaming music services rose from $49 million in 2003 to $237 million in 2005, and is projected to surpass $340 million in 2006, according to a report from Research and Markets. The firm's report chronicling the emergence and growth of Internet radio also found that there were about 2.4 million subscribers to Internet music radio services at the beginning of 2006, which include offerings from RealNetworks, AOL, Yahoo, MSN, Radioio, Live365.com and Virgin Radio. Tuning hours for the top ten sites are forecast to reach 360 million hours in 2006, and there are currently over 700,000 average quarterly hour listeners to online stations, the firm said, citing Arbitron and Webcast Metrics data. "The pace of Internet music radio growth has been steady since 2002 when the market retreated in the face of uncertainty over royalty rights payments, the ad recession, the general market recession and lack of venture or speculative capital," Research and Markets said in the report.

o N.Y. Times: "What Netflix Could Teach Hollywood"

New York - The New York Times on Wednesday reported on Netflix, the online DVD rental service that sends and receives 700 million DVDs through the U.S. mail each year. The company stocks most of the 60,000 total DVD movie and TV titles available, and surprisingly, rents between 35,000 and 40,000 of these individual titles each day. While this selection handily beats what is available from both cable and Internet video-on-demand services, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings admitted to The Times he expects the exclusive rights deals that prevent services like Movielink from offering more than 1,500 titles will eventually disappear, and provide the company with more competition.
