o Take-Two Subpoenaed by New York
County Over "Grand Theft Auto" Game
New York - Take-Two Interactive, publisher of the "Grand
Theft Auto: San Andreas" video game that was pulled from shelves
last year after sexually-explicit content was discovered hidden
within its source code, announced on Tuesday that it has received
grand jury subpoenas from New York County's district attorney,
requesting documents related to the incident. While the company said
that it has not been told it is a target of any investigation, its
shares plummeted nearly 16% in Tuesday trading. Take-Two has been
called on to produce documents relating to its knowledge of the
creation of the "Hot Coffee" sexual mini-game; the submission of the
title to the Entertainment Software Rating Board; the company's
acquisitions, and activities of its officers and board members; and
its dealings with PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young. The
company recently settled an FTC probe into the matter without facing
any serious consequences.

o NBC, Video-Sharing
Site YouTube in Promotional Partnership
Burbank, Calif. - NBC announced on Tuesday that it will
promote its fall television line-up on the YouTube video-sharing
site, which attracted 20 million users during the month of May.
Under the deal, NBC will create an official NBC Channel on YouTube,
featuring exclusive promo clips for the upcoming seasons of shows
like "The Office," in addition to long-form promos each week for
shows like "The Tonight Show" and "Saturday Night Live." In return,
YouTube will receive significant on-air promotion on NBC. The
companies will also launch a contest where viewers of "The Office"
can create and submit their own 20-second promo videos and post them
on YouTube. NBC clashed with YouTube several months ago, over the
site's previously more lax control over the posting of copyrighted
content, when several clips from "Saturday Night Live" posted on
YouTube drew millions of viewers and considerable attention to the
site.

underserved community that, until now, has had to rely on individual
sport sites, product driven print publications or scheduled
television programming," said Jim Bankoff, AOL's executive vice
president of programming and products. Jeep has signed on as the
site's charter advertiser.
