o Lawmakers Introduce Bill to Streamline Digital Music Licensing

Washington - Lawmakers on Thursday introduced a bill that would create a streamlined blanket licensing system for digital music services. The Section 115 Reform Act of 2006 (SIRA), introduced by Reps. Lamar Smith (R-TX) and Howard Berman (D-CA), has the support of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), National Music Publishers Association (NMPA) and Digital Music Association (DiMA) -- which represents big webcasters like AOL, RealNetworks, Live365 and Yahoo. "Our member companies -- digital music providers, music publishers and recording companies -- stand much to gain from legislation that will bring music licensing into the digital era," the trade groups said in a joint statement. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital civil liberties group, strongly criticized the bill as potentially eliminating consumers' traditional "fair use" rights of music, in part because it treats as license-able "incidental reproductions…including cached, network, and RAM buffer reproductions." The EFF also warned that the bill would change classifications of digital transmissions to potentially outlaw some devices that can make copies of songs, such as the XM Radio receivers under fire from the RIAA.

o FTC Settles With Take-Two Over Hidden Sex Content in "Grand Theft Auto"

Washington - Video game publisher Take-Two Interactive and its Rockstar Games unit on Thursday settled charges brought by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that they failed to disclose information about sexually explicit content in their "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" video game to consumers. The FTC said the hidden sexually explicit content in the game should have been reflected in its original rating. An "M" for Mature rating for the game was elevated to "AO" for Adults Only -- and removed from many store shelves at a cost of $24.5 million to Take-Two -- when the hidden content was discovered. Under the terms of the settlement with the FTC, Take-Two and Rockstar agreed not to misrepresent game ratings in the future, and will report to the FTC on efforts to establish a system to ensure that all game content is considered and reviewed before submission to the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB). Should the companies violate the agreement, they will be subject to a fine of up to $11,000 per violation.

o Report: Online Outpaces Print Ad Growth for Newspapers

Vienna, Va. - Advertising on newspaper websites increased 34.9% in the first quarter of 2006 to $613 million, compared with print ad growth of 0.3% to $10.5 billion, according to a report from the Newspaper Association of America (NAA). Overall, newspaper advertising totaled $11.1 billion in the first quarter, an increase of 1.8% over the same period last year. "Newspaper publishers are winning on the Web and their efforts to attract visitors, build leading Internet properties and monetize their online investments are being recognized by advertisers and consumers -- as shown by a full two years worth of outstanding consecutive gains," said NAA president and CEO John F. Sturm. "Internet revenues are consistent with our expectations of continued, strong double-digit growth; at roughly 5.5% of total newspaper advertising revenues for the quarter are beginning to gain more critical mass." The report also found that, despite competition from online services like Craigslist, print classified advertising was up 4.7%, fueled by a 26.3% increase in real estate ads. "Meanwhile, newspaper print advertising continues to hold its own in the face of overall ad softness, reflecting our industry's ongoing dialogue with the advertising community to demonstrate the enduring value of newspapers' reach and engagement with consumer audiences," added Sturm.

o Lala.com Launches CD Trading Site That Will Compensate Artists

Palo Alto, Calif. - Lala.com, a site that facilitates CD trading between members through the mail, on Thursday announced the official launch of its service. The site claims a catalog of 1.8 million album titles available from its members, who pay Lala.com $1.49 for each CD they receive from another member. Palo Alto, Calif.-based Lala.com said it has established a charitable foundation for musicians -- the Z Foundation -- to which it will voluntarily contribute 20% of its CD trading revenue to compensate artists. The company estimates monthly contributions of between $10,000 and $50,000 to the foundation, which will focus on providing health and dental care to working musicians. To qualify, a musician is defined as any individual who has performed live or on a recorded release in the last year, and whose music-related income accounts for more than half of total income. Lala.com founder Bill Nguyen told Reuters that record labels have had mixed reactions to the service. "One label thought it would help them to know their customers for the first time," Nguyen told Reuters. "But others' view of us is as the devil, more like peer-to-peer services."

o New York Public Library Website Adds Free Movie Download Service

New York - The New York Public Library has added the ability for its cardholders to download free movies through its eCollection online service, which is powered by technology from OverDrive and also offers music, audiobooks and e-books. The movies may be downloaded to a PC or laptop, and also transferred to certain portable devices. The online video library includes foreign films like "The Bicycle Thief" and Fellini's "8 1/2", documentaries, children's titles, IMAX films and various live performances of stage productions. Cleveland-based OverDrive said in March it is in negotiations with providers such as A&E Home Video to add content to its library movie download service, which is also available from the website of the Denver Public Library.

o Musicrypt Raises $1.5 Million; Patent Dispute With Rival Escalates

Toronto - Musicrypt, a provider of secure digital distribution of songs at record labels, and between labels and radio stations, announced on Thursday that it has raised $1.5 million through the private placement of 7.5 million shares. The company recently filed patent infringement claims in Canada against rival Destiny Media Technologies, whose Promo Only system provides essentially the same service as Musicrypt. For its part, Destiny on Thursday filed for a declaration stating that Musicrpyt's patent is invalid and that its Promo Only system does not infringe. "We are confident in our position and are anxious to have a judge make an expeditious ruling on this matter as we expect Canada to be an important market as demand continues to grow," said Destiny CEO Steve Vestergaard.
