o French Law Will Stop Short of
Compelling Apple to Open iTunes
Paris - French lawmakers are set to approve a law that
would stop short of forcing Apple and other companies to open their
digital music stores to competitors' playback devices, the
Associated Press reported. Under a draft version, Apple, Sony and
others would have had to share details of their proprietary security
technologies, or else likely shutter their online stores in France.
The version set for approval lets companies like Apple avoid this
stipulation as long as they obtain permission to do so from both
artists and their record labels. "It's perfectly legitimate that the
artist should decide the potential limitations on the use of his
work," French lawmaker Christian Vanneste told AP. The concession
from France comes as consumer groups from its European neighbors
Norway, Sweden and Denmark have charged Apple and its closed iTunes
and iPod system with violation of national contract and copyright
laws.

o Coca-Cola to Shutter
U.K. Online Music Store
London - Coca-Cola plans to close its online music store
in the U.K. next month, a victim of competition from Apple's iTunes
Store and others, TheRegister reported. MyCokeMusic.com was launched
in early 2004, using technology from Loudeye's OD2 services. "In
2004, the digital music scene was just developing and the only way
for Coke to offer access to music downloads was to open our own
store. That's not true today and there is no need for Coke to
continue to run a store," reads a note on the site. Coca-Cola is
encouraging consumers to use up credits on the site before July 31;
they may also ask to have them transferred to another OD2-powered
music store. OD2 also operates U.K. music stores for CD Wow, MSN,
MTV, NTL, Tiscali and Wanadoo.

accrued works from some 5,000 artists, some of which have sold for
up to $184,000. "Many artists find it very hard to break into the
gallery world. If they don't have the connections or aren't skilled
at selling themselves, even good artists can struggle," Saatchi told
Reuters. "This site is intended to create a community of artists who
can easily show their work to a global audience of collectors,
dealers and curators on a level playing field."

Washington - The Washington Post on Thursday reported on the

public, and several sites selling DVDs of fights captured with
camcorders or camera cell phones have been shut down. Neither Google
Video nor YouTube has specific regulations against posting fight
videos, but Google said it will flag videos where those featured are
"hurt or killed," while YouTube allows its users to police its
library of videos.
