o IFPI to Sue Another 24 Europeans for Music Copyright Infringement

London -- The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), an international record label trade group, announced on Tuesday that it plans to sue an additional 24 individuals in Denmark for copyright infringement, with further actions in countries including France, Sweden and the U.K. on the horizon. In March, the IFPI sued more than 200 alleged file-swappers in Denmark, Germany and Italy, adding today that 17 Danish residents have settled their suits for an average of several thousand euros, while one German defendant will pay compensation of 8,000 euros ($9,800). The IFPI also quoted data from a recent survey that found that 70% of residents in France, Denmark, Germany and the U.K. are now aware that unauthorized file-sharing of copyrighted music is illegal. "Today's results show that litigation, combined with the rollout of new legal online music services, is having a real impact on people's attitudes to illegal file-sharing, and this in turn is affecting levels of file-sharing activity," said IFPI chairman and CEO Jay Berman. "On the strength of the developments in Denmark, Germany and Italy, we can confirm that there will be more legal actions in other countries in the near future."

o Electronic Arts to Lay Off 117 Amid Game Development Studio Closings

Redwood City, Calif. -- Video game developer Electronic Arts disclosed in a recent SEC filing that it will lay off 117 employees in connection with the closure of development studios in Austin, Texas and Walnut Creek, Calif. The team in Austin consisted of Origin Systems employees working on the "Ultima Online" franchise, while the company's Maxis studio -- developer of "The Sims" -- was located in Walnut Creek. "The studio closures were the result of a strategic decision to consolidate local development efforts in Redwood City, California," the company said in the filing. The affected employees are expected to be laid off in the first quarter of the company's 2005 fiscal year.

o CNET: Beatles Finally Looking to Distribute Music Online

San Francisco -- CNET News.com reported on Tuesday that the Beatles, who have long refused to license their lucrative catalog to digital music services, are finally entering negotiations with multiple services to make their songs available online. Citing "sources familiar with the situation," News.com reported that the group is seeking a "considerable sum" in return for the exclusive rights to offer Beatles tracks, possibly for as long as a year. The group is also considering a Beatles-branded store that would be the only site to sell their music, videos and other products. Other long-time holdouts on digital distribution include Madonna and Led Zeppelin. "If [the Beatles] are able to come to some sort of licensing terms, it bodes very well for the online model, and would probably pave the way for some of the other holdouts to come online," Jupiter Research analyst Michael Gartenberg told News.com.

o Toshiba to Ship Laptops Pre-Loaded With Napster Music Service

Los Angeles -- Napster, the digital music service division of Roxio, announced on Tuesday that Toshiba Digital Products Division will include a free month of the Napster service on its Satellite line of notebook computers. The deal is the latest expansion for Napster, which recently launched versions of its digital music service in Canada and the U.K. "Professionals, students and families alike are becoming more and more mobile, and Napster's software allows them to take their music anywhere they need to go without having to be connected to the Internet," said Toshiba DPD vice president of marketing Taro Hiyama.

o Report: In-Game Ads to Spur Online Gaming Market to $4 Billion in 2008

Scottsdale, Ariz. -- The online gaming market will grow from $1 billion in 2003 to nearly $4 billion by the end of 2008, according to a report from Arizona-based market research firm In-Stat/MDR. While only one-sixth of the U.S. population currently plays online games, that number is expected to grow to half the population in 2008. The firm said that online gaming, which includes both PC games and Internet-connected consoles like the Xbox and PlayStation 2, will grow as providers tap into the in-game advertising revenue opportunities historically bestowed upon TV networks. Currently, it costs an average of $1 per hour to play online games, and about $0.13 per hour to watch television. "When the costs of online gaming per hour starts to approach the level of TV, you can expect people to spend a comparable amount of time gaming," said In-Stat/MDR senior analyst Eric Mantion. "The secret strength of online games will be when the volumes of people playing grow to the point where advertisers will start buying ads that will not only be interactive, but also targeted at specific demographics of players."

o Ringtones Firm Xingtone Gets Investment from Siemens

Los Angeles -- Xingtone, a developer of technology that allows cell phone users to create their own ringtones from their CD and MP3 collections, announced on Tuesday that it has secured an undisclosed first round of institutional financing, led by Siemens Mobile Acceleration. Although the music is copyrighted, Los Angeles-based Xingtone says its service allows users to make "fair use" of music they already own. The service, available for a one-time fee of $14.95, is available on U.S. wireless carriers using open networks, including Sprint PCS, Cingular, AT&T Wireless and T-Mobile. "This investment is a significant development both for our company and the burgeoning mobile entertainment industry," said Xingtone CEO Jonathan Schreiber. "We are honored to be receiving funding and support from a leading investor specializing in wireless applications and technologies, such as Siemens Mobile Acceleration."

OVERVIEW

Media and entertainment companies are going through a digital transformation, which is impacting traditional business models and changing the way we distribute, access and market media and entertainment.

Washington Digital Media Conference brings together decision-makers from the leading media, entertainment and technology companies in the Greater Washington, DC area for a 1-day executive forum focused on business, legal/policy and technology developments impacting digital media.

Get a unique view of the future of media and entertainment from the inside. Gain insight into new business opportunities driving the transformation of entertainment and media businesses. Take a hard look at how traditional challenges to sustainable business models are dissolving, only to be replaced by new obstacles, and how we can prepare now to overcome them. Examine media and entertainment-based technologies emerging today and explore how these technologies are driving the transformation of the media and entertainment industries.

How are traditional business models being reinvented? What are the challenges and opportunities involving digital media? What do you need to do to stay competitive in the technology age?

NEW "SPYWARE" PANEL:
4:00 - 4:45 PM
PANEL 5B
The Issue of “Spyware”:
Protecting Consumer Privacy

From relatively benign online activity tracking to truly malevolent total identity theft, new software programs are threatening user control with applications such as browser hijacking and keystroke logging. Is “spyware” replacing “spam” as the Internet’s most urgent issue? How can consumers be protected from unwelcome and dangerous PC invasions? What are the requirements for consumer-respecting ad-supported software, and how can it differentiate itself from invasive “spyware?” What are the responsibilities of the software and telecommunications industries to address the “spyware” issue?  How should government respond to this growing problem?
