o Apple Launches iTunes Music Store in U.K., France and Germany

London -- Apple on Tuesday launched its much-anticipated iTunes music download service in France, Germany and the U.K., thereby extending the coverage of its Music Store to an additional 23% of the global music market. All three stores will boast music libraries of more than 700,000 songs from all the major record labels, as well as from a number of independent labels. However, the breakdown of negotiations between Apple and the U.K. Association of Independent Music (AIM) will mean that tracks from artists including The White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand and Basement Jaxx won't be available. Britons will also be paying more per song on iTunes ($1.43) than Americans ($0.99), but less than English patrons of Napster ($1.81). Apple CEO Steve Jobs said the service will launch in another 11 European countries (albeit only in English initially) when the company launches its pan-European store in October; Jobs also plans to build relationships with automakers to connect iTunes with in-car stereo systems. AOL also announced that it will tightly integrate the iTunes Store into AOL music channels in the U.K., France and Germany.

o Video Game Companies Sue Maker of Game Copying Software

Washington, D.C. -- Opening a major new front in the video game industry's battle against piracy, the D.C.-based Entertainment Software Association (ESA) said on Tuesday that several of its member developers and publishers have filed a lawsuit aimed at blocking the trafficking and sale of software designed to crack the copy-protection systems used by game makers to protect their titles from illegal copying. Three ESA members, Atari, Electronic Arts and Vivendi Universal Games, filed the lawsuit against 321 Studios in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, contending that 321 Studios' "Games X Copy" software violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. "Masquerading as a consumer friendly tool, 321 Studios' software is, in truth, really nothing more than a device to facilitate the illegal copying of games," said Douglas Lowenstein, the president of the Entertainment Software Association, the trade association that represents U.S. computer and video game publishers.

o Streaming Patent Holder Acacia Sues Cable, Satellite TV Firms

Newport Beach, Calif. -- Acacia Research, a company that claims a patent on basic streaming media technology, announced on Tuesday that it has upped the ante in its licensing pursuits and sued cable and satellite TV firms Comcast, Charter, Cox, DirecTV, Echostar and several others for patent infringement. To its credit, Acacia has won 123 licenses for its patent from digital video distributors including On Command, Radio Free Virgin, Playboy and The Walt Disney Company. Newport Beach, Calif.-based Acacia said the cable and satellite firms use its technology in their basic programming, pay-per-view, video-on-demand and digital ad insertion services. Acacia also has patent infringement actions pending in California against a number of adult entertainment providers who distribute video over the Internet.

o FBI Arrests Suspects in "Half-Life 2" Source Code Theft

Bellevue, Wash. -- Video game developer Valve Software announced that the FBI has made several arrests in its investigation into the theft of source code from Valve's anticipated "Half-Life 2" PC game last fall. Although it is not clear when they were arrested, suspects in several countries have been apprehended in relation to the hacking of Valve's own internal servers, where the game's source code was lifted and subsequently posted on the Internet. "It was extraordinary to watch how quickly and how cleverly gamers were able to unravel what are traditionally unsolvable problems for law enforcement related to this kind of cyber crime," said Valve CEO Gabe Newell. The company, which delayed the release of the game even before the source code was stolen, has said that "Half-Life 2" will come out this summer.

(London) Napster UK announced on Monday that it has signed an agreement with U.K. cable firm NTL in which Napster's online music store will be bundled with NTL's broadband Internet access service. Napster said the deal would give it access to more than 1 million additional customers in the U.K. "This is a significant deal for Napster because we are partnering with the biggest provider of broadband services in the U.K., and NTL's own research has shown that over 75% of broadband customers download music each month," said Napster President Brad Duea. Napster added that it has now sold over 10 million songs across its U.S., U.K. and Canadian download services.

(Washington) The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) announced on Tuesday a new phase in its public education program to deter illegal movie downloading on the Internet, which will consist of a major print ad campaign, increased monitoring of file-sharing networks, and collaboration with over 120 colleges to develop self-enforce codes of conduct for student computer use. "We hope this ramped-up information/educational campaign will cause those who are taking films without permission to stop their illegal activity," said MPAA CEO Jack Valenti. "But we will keep all of our options open, including legal action."
