o TiVo Awarded $89.6 Million in
EchoStar Patent Case; Injunction Stayed
Alviso, Calif. - TiVo, the maker of digital video
recorders, announced yesterday that a federal court has granted its
request for an injunction against satellite TV provider EchoStar
Communications (DISH Network), and awarded the company $89.6 million
in damages for patent infringement. However, EchoStar today won a
temporary stay of the injunction from the Federal Circuit Court of
Appeals in D.C., which will allow it to continue to sell and
distribute its digital video recorders for the time being. TiVo sued
EchoStar in 2004, alleging the company's digital video recorders
infringed on TiVo's "Time Warp" patent on basic digital video
recorder technology. A jury ruled in April that EchoStar had
willfully infringed on TiVo's patent, and a federal judge in Texas
yesterday granted TiVo's motion for a permanent injunction against
the manufacture or sale of a number of EchoStar's DVR models. "TiVo
has a long list of licensees in the consumer electronics, cable and
satellite markets, and we will continue to license our technology
under appropriate circumstances and arrangements. We will also
continue to vigorously defend our intellectual property for the
benefit of our licensees and shareholders," the company said.
EchoStar said it will make modifications to both existing
forthcoming DVR models. "We continue to believe the Texas decision
was wrong, and should be reversed on appeal. We also continue to
work on modifications to our new DVRs, and to our DVRs in the field,
intended to avoid future alleged infringement," the company said.

o Apple Investigation
Finds No Forced Labor at Chinese iPod Plant
Cupertino, Calif. - Apple announced on Friday that an
internal investigation into working conditions at a Chinese plant
where its iPods are made found no forced labor, but did reveal
workers exceeding limits of 60 hours and six days of work per week.
A report in the Mail on Sunday, a U.K. newspaper, alleged that
workers lived in on-site dormitories at the Foxconn plant and were
forced to work 15-hour shifts for as little as $50 a month. "The
team reviewed personnel files and hiring practices and found no
evidence whatsoever of the use of child labor or any form of forced
labor," Apple said in a report on its website. The company did find
several instances where workers were forced to "stand at attention"
as a disciplinary measure, and stated that it would aggressively
train managers and employees to prevent similar tactics. Apple's
investigation found that workers at Foxconn exceeded 60 hour-per
week overtime limits 35% of the time, and worked more than six days
in a row 25% of the time. The company has ordered the supplier to
enforce its overtime limits. Apple added that it has hired Verite, a
consulting firm that studies workplace standards, to monitor the
factory. Plant employees were found to be paid the minimum wage in
southern China's Shenzen province -- about $100 a month. Apple has
sold more than 50 million iPods since 2001.

o Apple,
Scandinavian Consumer Agencies to Discuss iTunes Policies
Helsinki - Apple has asked for a meeting with Scandinavian
consumer rights agencies to discuss their allegations its iTunes and
iPod are violating their countries' laws allowing free use of
legally purchased products, Reuters reported. Consumer rights
agencies in Denmark, Norway and Sweden wrote Apple in June to air
their complaints; Apple responded in writing that it may be willing
to change some of its practices in the countries, but stopped short
of offering to open iTunes songs to play on rival players. Sweden's
acting consumer ombudsman Marianne Abyhammar told Reuters the
parties hope to arrange a meeting in Oslo soon, possibly in
September.

o California
Lawmakers Vote to Overhaul Cable TV Franchising Process
Thousand Oaks, Calif. - The California Senate
Appropriations Committee voted yesterday to overhaul the state's
cable franchising process, approving a bill that would allow
telecommunications firms to more easily launch digital video
services in California. The bill has already passed in the Assembly
and a Senate subcommittee, and is expected to be considered in the
California Senate later this month. Verizon, which has invested
"hundreds of millions of dollars" to build a new fiber-optic network
to offer its FiOS TV digital TV service, lauded the vote. "Cable
prices have risen 86 percent over the past 10 years, according to
the Federal Communications Commission, yet in markets where there is
a choice of cable providers, consumers pay 15 percent less for video
service, on average," said Verizon West region president Tim
McCallion.

o YouTube
in Talks With Record Labels to Add Free Music Videos
New York - Video-sharing site YouTube said this week that
it is in negotiations with record labels on distributing their music
videos on its site, Reuters reported. "What we really want to do is
in six to 12 months, maybe 18 months, to have every music video ever
created up on YouTube," co-founder Steve Chen told Reuters. "We're
trying to bring in as much of this content as we can on to the
site." The business model is being developed cooperatively with all
the major labels, but YouTube said it will offer videos for free, in
a format unlike the paid videos available on iTunes or the MTV-like
Yahoo Music service. The company also will add community features,
like allowing users to embed videos on their personal YouTube pages.

o EMI in
Deal to Preload Music Videos on Microsoft's Zune Player
New York - Major record label EMI this week announced a
deal with Microsoft to distribute its music videos pre-loaded on
Microsoft's forthcoming Zune portable digital media player. Reuters
reported that EMI believes other labels are in talks with Microsoft,
and Universal confirmed negotiations with the company. The Zune
player and complementary digital media store -- Microsoft's bid to
compete with Apple's dominant iPod and iTunes combination -- are
rumored to feature wireless capabilities that will allow owners to
share media between the devices. Microsoft is expected to launch the
Zune player and service in time for the 2006 holiday shopping
season.

Anti-piracy Firm Macrovision Prices $240 Million Notes Offering
Santa Clara, Calif. - Macrovision, a developer of
anti-piracy and content production technologies, said that it has
priced $240 million in senior notes due in 2011. The Santa Clara,
Calif.-based company said that it is selling the notes to qualified
institutional buyers, and will use part of the proceeds to
repurchase up to $50 million in stock. The news sent company shares
up 7% in heavy trading on the Nasdaq.

o Phantom
Abandons Console Plans; Game Service to be PC Software
Seattle - Phantom Entertainment (formerly Infinium Labs) this
week abandoned plans to develop its own PC-based video game console,
instead announcing that its long-delayed Phantom Game Service will
now consist solely of software developed for Windows-based PCs. "The
company intends to modify the Phantom Game Service software to run
as client software on personal computers operating Windows XP and
Windows XP Media Center operating systems," reads a note on the
company's site. Originally announced in 2002 as an on-demand PC
games service that would run on a proprietary receiver, Infinium
Labs failed to deliver the product despite showing a working
prototype at E3 in 2004.
