o iPod Plant Accused of
"Sweatshop" Conditions Sues Two Chinese Journalists
Beijing - Foxconn, the Chinese manufacturing plant that
makes Apple's iPods, has filed a $3.75 million defamation lawsuit
against two Chinese journalists who reported on working conditions
at the plant, Wired News reported. The initial Chinese reports
prompted stories overseas in publications like the U.K.'s Guardian,
eventually compelling Apple to investigate allegations that workers
were paid only $50 a month for 60-plus-hour work weeks, and were
forced to live in cramped dormitories at the factory. Apple's
investigation into conditions at Foxconn found that workers were
paid the minimum wage for the region, but that Foxconn was indeed in
violation of Apple's code of conduct and overtime rules. The two
journalists' bank accounts and other assets have been frozen as a
result of the Foxconn lawsuit. "We were fulfilling our duties as
socially concerned reporters to expose this maltreatment of workers
in Shenzhen," China Business News investigative reporter Weng Bao,
one of the defendants in the suit, told Wired News. "Now this court
case will make the entire media industry and every Chinese reporter
fear writing investigative reports."

o NPR to Launch
Digital Music Service Next Year
Washington - National Public Radio (NPR) on Wednesday
announced plans to create a major digital music service, which it
says will extend the role that public radio stations hold in music
discovery. The site, scheduled to launch in the first half of 2007,
will pool public radio's collective resources, and offer exposure
for emerging and non-mainstream artists in genres including
classical, jazz, folk, opera, AAA, electronica and alternative. "We
have pioneered innovations -- independently and collaboratively --
including a modular music production and acquisition program
service, NPR Music online, live streaming concerts, podcasts and,
most recently, digital radio multicast channels," said NPR executive
vice president Ken Stern. "The digital music discovery arena is a
new and barely-explored one, and a logical place for NPR and the
public radio system to take a leadership role."

o Minnesota
to Appeal Ruling That Tossed Out Video Game Law
St. Paul, Minn. - Minnesota Attorney General Mike Hatch
has announced plans to appeal a federal court ruling that declared
the state's law fining minors who attempted to purchase M-rated
games unconstitutional. Hatch, a Democrat, is also running for
Governor of the state of Minnesota. In July, U.S. District Court
Judge James Rosenbaum found the state's video game law
unconstitutional. Hatch has appealed that ruling to the U.S. 8th
Circuit Court of Appeals. "If the parents aren't troubled by their
kids playing these games, they can buy them for their children,"
Hatch said in a statement.

o Satellite
Radio Firm WorldSpace Receives Nasdaq Listing Warning
Silver Spring, Md. - WorldSpace Satellite Radio, a

million. To regain compliance, The company said that it has agreed
to a deal with its largest shareholder, Yenura, that will result in
the issuance of another 17.4 million shares of stock, increasing its
total number of shares outstanding to nearly 39 million. "The
company believes that the issuance and listing of these additional
Class A shares will resolve the aggregate trading value deficiency
and bring the company back into compliance with the Nasdaq listing
requirements," said WorldSpace in a statement.
