o Report: Icahn's Group May Attempt
to Quadruple Time Warner Stake
Dulles, Va. -- Hoping to turn up the pressure on AOL parent Time
Warner, a group led by billionaire financier Carl Icahn is
considering quadrupling its stake in the media giant to 10%, a
person familiar with the matter told Reuters. Icahn has been trying
to get the company to implement his plan for increasing shareholder
value, which includes a massive stock buyback and the divestiture of
Time Warner's cable television unit. Icahn's group, which includes
SAC Capital Advisors, Jana Partners and Franklin Mutual Advisors,
currently owns about 2.6% of the company. Increasing its stake to
10% could cost more than $6 billion. Icahn two weeks ago met with
Time Warner CEO Dick Parsons in what he described as a "good and
productive discussion with a lively exchange of ideas." He is
recommending that the company spin off its cable television business
and repurchase $20 billion in stock. Plans for Dulles-based AOL were
not disclosed.

o RIAA Sues
Another 754 Song-Swappers for Copyright Infringement
Los Angeles -- The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)
announced on Wednesday that it has sued another 754 individuals for
copyright infringement of songs on peer-to-peer file-sharing
networks. The "John Doe" lawsuits, filed in federal courts in
California, Colorado, Georgia, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania,
Virginia and Washington, D.C., will seek to obtain the identities of
individuals from their Internet service providers. The industry's
last wave of 765 file-swapper lawsuits was filed in late July;
defendants have usually settled with the record labels for between
$3,000 and $5,000 each. The RIAA has now sued over 14,000
individuals since launching its legal anti-piracy campaign in Sept.
2003.

o Google to Buy
Print Ads, Re-Sell Them to Online Advertisers
San Francisco -- In an effort to expand its lucrative online ad
sales business, Google has begun buying ads in print publications
and re-selling them to advertisers who use its online AdWords
program, CNET News.com reported. Google has purchased full page ads
in publications including PC Magazine and Maximum PC, broken up the
ad space, and re-sold the smaller sections to AdWords advertisers.
"Google has shown that big media companies don't have to be part of
the mix at all," Tim Hanlon, senior vice president of emerging
contacts at ad agency Publicis Groupe. "People can just get the
content and ads directly from an uber-intermediary. That's caught a
lot of traditional ad types off guard." The Google print ad pages,
labeled "Ads by Google," include an address for a website that
features a replica of the ads on the print page.

o "Call of
Duty" Developer Spark Sues Activision for $10 Million
Santa Monica, Calif. -- Video game publisher Activision has been
sued for $10 million by Spark Unlimited, developer of its "Call of
Duty: Finest Hour" title, over allegations Activision reneged on an
agreement that would have seen Spark develop two sequels to the
game. Spark says in its lawsuit that Activision withheld bridge
financing due after the delivery of Finest Hour, in addition to
lowering royalty payments to the developer for the title. Spark also
alleges that Activision stole ideas presented by Spark for sequels
to Finest Hour, which are now being implemented in a sequel being
worked on by developers Grey Matter and Treyarch. "Activision
refused to pay Spark the royalties owed on Finest Hour or the bridge
financing due under the contract, stole Spark's idea, and then hired
away Spark's own employees to develop that sequel, hoping that if
Spark was sufficiently crippled, Spark would be unable to protect
its rights," Spark alleges, in its lawsuit. Activision told Reuters
that it is reviewing the lawsuit.

o Impact of
Hurricane Katrina Slows Some Major U.S. Websites
San Mateo, Calif. -- As Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf
Coast, several popular websites had difficulty maintaining their
performance and availability, according to new information from
Keynote Systems, a provider of site performance measurement
services. For a period of about three hours on Sunday night, some of
the graphic content on Weather.com was not available, and the
availability of other content on the site also dipped for about 35
minutes on Monday morning. Both CNN.com and USAToday.com, although
both stable and available, also showed some degradation of
performance on Monday morning, with home pages taking up to 10
seconds to load, or about three times as long as normal. In
addition, the National Weather Service's site went from its usual
availability rate of 94%-98% to just 29% for a short period.
Keynote's performance index measures the average download time for
the home pages of 40 important sites from the 25 largest
metropolitan areas of the U.S.
