o Tech Firms, ISPs, Librarians
Propose Alternative to "Induce Act"
Arlington, Va. -- A group of technology firms, Internet service
providers and library groups have submitted an alternative to a
proposed copyright bill that would ban peer-to-peer file-sharing
networks and any device that might "induce" consumers to infringe
copyrights. The Consumer Electronics Association -- a large group of
manufacturers -- as well as ISPs Verizon and SBC signed onto the
"Don't Induce Act," meant to narrow language presented in the
"Induce Act" that was debated at a Senate Judiciary Committee
hearing last month. The group's proposed changes to the language of
the bill "address mass, indiscriminate infringing conduct while
preserving the Supreme Court's Betamax decision, the Magna Carta of
the technology industry which is in no small measure responsible for
our nation's preeminence in technological innovation and
entrepreneurship," the group said of its Don't Induce Act, which
would narrow the Induce Act from banning "any" device capable of
inducing copyright infringement to those "specifically designed" to
enable piracy. Responding to the rewritten legislation, Recording
Industry Association of America (RIAA) vice president Mitch Glazier
told CNET News.com, "I don't think that as written anyone could be
found liable...But I'm glad that people are trying to draw the line
between the good guys and the bad guys."

o Report:
Microsoft to Launch Digital Music Store This Week
San Jose, Calif. -- Microsoft plans to launch its own digital
music download store this week, quietly adding the technology to the
new version of its Windows Media 10 player software, The San Jose
Mercury News reported. The report said early versions of the player
closely resemble Apple's iTunes Music Store, currently the leader in
the music download market, and also dispelled rumors that
Microsoft's would be the first store to win the lucrative rights to
sell Beatles tracks online.

o MPAA Sues Two
DVD Chipmakers Over Movie Piracy
Los Angeles -- The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)
announced that it has filed suit against two manufacturers of chips
used in DVD players, for selling chips that allow unauthorized
copying of DVD movies. The MPAA sued Milpitas, Calif.-based Sigma
Designs and Taiwan-based MediaTek for violating the license
agreement they signed with the DVD Copy Control Association, by
selling chips that can descramble DVD security technology to DVD
player makers that have not been licensed to make such devices. The
group said that in testing it found DVD players featuring the
companies' chips that did not provide adequate security measures.
The MPAA recently won an injunction in a similar case against DVD
chipmaker ESS Technology.

o Game
Publisher Acclaim Faces Bankruptcy, Nasdaq Delisting
Glen Cove, N.Y. -- Video game publisher Acclaim Entertainment has
announced that it will be forced to declare bankruptcy if
negotiations with a new proposed lender fail to replace its existing
credit facility with GMAC Commercial Finance, which expired on Aug.
20. Additionally, Acclaim said that the Nasdaq has notified it that
its shares are in danger of being delisted from the exchange for
failing to meet the minimum market capitalization requirements.
Acclaim shares will trade on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market pending an
appeal process of the Nasdaq's decision. Glen Cove, N.Y.-based
Acclaim, known for its "All-Star Baseball," "NBA Jam" and "Dave
Mirra Freestyle BMX" franchises, has struggled recently with weak
sales of its game titles, in addition to several shareholder class
action lawsuits and an accounting error that compelled the company
to restate results for the past three years.

o RealNetworks
to Offer Digital Music Services at Two Universities
Seattle -- RealNetworks, a provider of media delivery technology,
announced on Tuesday agreements with two universities to offer its
Rhapsody digital music service at a "deeply discounted" price to
students. The company's first on-campus distribution deals will
provide 80,000 students at the Univ. of California, Berkeley and the
University of Minnesota with access to its 725,000-song catalog.
Berkeley students will have access to Rhapsody for free through Oct.
31, and afterwards at a sharply reduced monthly price; Minnesota
students can sign up for either the monthly renewal service or for
three-month or annual subscriptions at a further discounted rate.
Rhapsody's rates for general consumers are $10 per month and $0.79
per song. Seattle-based RealNetworks also announced that it sold
more than one million songs last week from its RealPlayer Music
Store, fueled by its Freedom of Choice $0.49 per song download
promotion.

o U.S. Online
Retail Sales to Top $300 Billion by 2010
Cambridge, Mass. -- U.S. online retail sales will more than
double over the next six years -- reaching $316 billion by 2010 --
according to a new report from Massachusetts-based Forrester
Research. According to the report, a growing population of online
shopping households, combined with effective "multi-channel"
integration and site improvements from retailers, will drive
e-commerce growth to account for 12% of total retail sales in 2010,
up from nearly 7% in 2004. "Significant behavioral changes by
consumers and retailers will fuel online retail growth over the next
six years," said Carrie Johnson, a senior analyst at Forrester
Research. "While consumers continue to become more comfortable
buying a variety of items online, retailers will apply what they
have learned in the early days of online retailing to implement site
enhancements that provide a greater return on investment and a
better experience for customers."

monsters from the game onto the workers' characters to kill them
off.
