o Sony Pictures Acquires Video-Sharing Site Grouper for $65 Million

Culver City, Calif. - Sony Pictures Entertainment announced on Wednesday its $65 million acquisition of Grouper, a video-sharing site. Under the terms, Sausalito, Calif.-based Grouper will retain its current management. Sony said Grouper is currently the second-largest independent online video community; the site lets users upload and edit videos and share them on their own websites, blogs and social network pages, as well as download them to portable devices like the iPod and PSP. "This acquisition demonstrates the breadth of involvement of Sony Corporation in the field of digital online entertainment," said SPE chairman and CEO Michael Lynton. "Many people in the Grouper community use Sony cameras to create videos and Sony VAIO computers and mobile devices to store and view them. It makes sense to complete the circle by having Grouper be a part of Sony Pictures Entertainment."

o Microsoft to Provide Sponsored Links on Facebook Social Network

Redmond, Wash. - Microsoft announced on Wednesday that it has signed a multi-year agreement with Facebook, the second most-popular social networking site behind MySpace, to provide banner ads and sponsored links to the site's 9 million users. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Google, the market leader in sponsored ads, recently signed a $900 million deal to provide search ads to MySpace's over 100 million users. Microsoft said it began talks with Palo Alto, Calif.-based Facebook only last week, and expects its sponsored ads to appear on the site in early fall. "Our collaboration with Facebook is about joining our cutting-edge advertising technology and sales force with a true innovator in social networking," said Steve Berkowitz, senior vice president of the online services group at Microsoft.

o Microsoft Details Xbox 360 Accessories; Expands Global Distribution

o MySpace Founder Launches Venture to Fund Asian Internet Firms

Los Angeles - MySpace.com founder Brad Greenspan on Wednesday announced the launch of a new venture, BroadWebAsia (BWA), which will partner with and power social networking, entertainment and Internet search properties across Asia. The company received initial funding from Greenspan, and is seeking to raise up to $50 million for other Asian acquisitions and investments. BWA said it has already signed agreements to invest in and partner with more than 20 Chinese Internet firms, including BBMAO.com, a meta-search engine focused on China that counts over 70,000 unique daily users. "The launch of BroadWebAsia will allow me to implement my proven U.S. Internet strategy in China, where there are more than 120 million Internet users, making the country second only to the U.S. in terms of online users," said Greenspan. "With less than 10 percent of the Chinese population online, there is vast potential for growth."

o SellaBand Debuts New Online Distribution Model for Developing Artists

Amsterdam - SellaBand on Wednesday announced the launch of its community music site that offers a new distribution model for developing artists. The site lets bands upload their self-recorded songs, and "Believers" in the online community can purchase "Parts" of the band in $10 increments. Once 5,000 Parts have been sold, the band gets to put the $50,000 raised toward recording an album with a good studio and production team, with the resulting 5,000 limited edition CDs shipped to each Believer who bought a Part of the band. Before a band's 5,000 Parts have been sold, Believers may switch their investment to another band, invest additional money, or withdraw their investment altogether. The songs from each CD produced on SellaBand will also be offered as free downloads on the site, with ad revenue split equally between artists, Believers and the company. All the while, acts using SellaBand are free to sign a record deal, and retain ownership of their master recordings after one year. "We want the legal commitments for musicians to be as light-weight as possible," said former Sony Music exec and SellaBand managing director Johan Vosmeijer. "Basically, we see SellaBand as a sort of trampoline for bands to use. Ultimately it is up to the artist to see how high they can jump, but we won't hold them back in any way or form."

o Future of Music Coalition Offers Free Health Insurance Advice to Musicians

Washington - The Future of Music Coalition, a Washington-based non-profit that represents the interests of artists in the digital music realm, on Wednesday introduced an online health insurance guidance program for musicians. The Health Insurance Navigation Tool (HINT) will help musicians -- who have unique situations like fluctuating income due to month-to-month varying performance schedules -- to navigate plans and locate regional organizations online. The service will also offer free, confidential 30-minute phone consultations with health insurance experts.
