o Aussie Court: Kazaa Guilty of Copyright Infringement

Sydney -- An Australian federal court has ruled that Sharman Networks, distributor of the Kazaa file-sharing application, is guilty of copyright infringement and must filter out copyrighted songs traded on its peer-to-peer network within two months. Federal Court Justice Murray Wilcox said in his ruling that it was in the financial interest of Sharman "to maximize, not minimize, music file-sharing," and ordered Australia-based Sharman, U.S.-based partner Altnet and several other defendants to pay 90% of the music industry's court costs. A separate hearing will be held to determine copyright infringement damages against Sharman and its partners. "On the heels of the unanimous Grokster ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, this decision reflects a growing, international chorus: those who promote theft can be held accountable no matter how they may attempt to escape responsibility. A corrupt business strategy of attempting to hide 'off-shore' is not off-limits to the enforcement of rights by creators or law enforcement," said RIAA CEO Mitch Bainwol. Sharman plans to appeal the ruling. "While the judgment has yet to be studied in detail, Sharman Networks is obviously disappointed with the decision. However, we will appeal this decision vigorously and are confident that we will win on appeal," the company said in a statement.

o Court Rules Independent Battle.net Game Servers Violate Copyrights

St. Louis -- The U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that programmers violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) when they created their own multiplayer game servers for Vivendi Universal-owned game publisher Blizzard Entertainment's games, CNET News.com reported. Programmers had created their own unofficial versions of Blizzard's Battle.net online gaming service for titles like "Diablo" and "Warcraft", after complaints about the official site's performance. In its 3-0 decision, which upheld a lower court's October ruling, the appeals court said that the defendants violated the agreement they clicked on when installing Blizzard's games on their computers that prohibits reverse-engineering.

o Sony Sells 185,000 PlayStation Portables During U.K. Launch

London -- According to figures compiled by U.K.-based market analysis firm Chart-Track, more than 185,000 of Sony's long-awaited PlayStation Portables (PSPs) were sold in just four days, making the device the fastest-selling video-game console in U.K. history. By comparison, Sony rival Nintendo sold only about 87,000 of its Nintendo DS consoles during its launch week in March. The PSP, which can browse the Internet and play videogames, movies and music, went on sale in Europe on Sept. 1, nine months after the gadget hit Japanese stores and six months after its launch in the U.S. So far, the device has been hugely popular in every market it has entered, and the U.K. looks to be no exception. In fact, Sony said it expects to sell more than 1 million PSPs in the U.K. before Christmas.

o TiVo Offers Recorder for $49 After Rebate

o Survey: Young Adults Have $2,200 of Entertainment Stored on Devices

San Jose, Calif. -- Young adults between the ages of 18-24 have an average of about $2,200 worth of entertainment stored on devices such as computers, MP3 players, DVRs and mobile phones, according to a new survey conducted by KRC Research and Hitachi Global Storage Technologies. The figure is nearly double that of all U.S. adults, who average $1,135 in entertainment content. Hitachi said that the results point to the notion that as the cost of digital storage becomes less than 10% of the content value, it is affordable enough for that content to be permanently retained -- increasing the pervasiveness of hard disk drives. The telephone survey of 1,004 adults was conducted during August.

o HMV and Virgin Megastores Throw Down Gauntlet to Apple in U.K.

London -- HMV, the largest specialist music seller in the U.K., announced that has launched a new digital music service giving consumers online access to a library of more than 1.3 million songs. The news follows a similar announcement made last week by Virgin Megastores, the second-largest music chain in the U.K. Many analysts say that Virgin Megastores and HMV's inclusion into an already highly competitive market is likely to spark a digital music war. The U.K. music download market, while still relatively small, is expected to grow by leaps and bounds. About 500,000 songs, for example, were downloaded legally from the Internet in all of last year; now, about 500,000 songs are legally downloaded every week. Industry experts predict that online music sales in the U.K. will nearly double from about $63 million this year to more than $120 million in 2006 and approximately $480 million by the year 2010.

o Video Game Physics Developer Ageia Acquires Sweden's Megon

Mountain View, California -- Ageia Technologies, a developer of hardware-accelerated physics for video games, announced that it has acquired Meqon Research, the Sweden-based physics-development company behind 3D Realms's "Duke Nukem Forever" and Saber Interactive's "TimeShift" games. Ageia said the deal would combine its expertise in multi-threading, high-speed collision detection and hair and clothing simulation with Meqon's industrial physics simulation, content creation tools and character and vehicle simulation. "Ageia is a physics juggernaut in the games industry with its strategic acquisitions and its groundbreaking Ageia PhysX processor," said Meqon CEO Jonas Lindqvist. "Our team is thrilled to join forces with Ageia to transform the future of next-generation games." Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

o U.K. Online Casino Sportingbet Confirms Talks with Empire Online

London -- Sportingbet, a U.K.-based Internet betting and gaming group listed on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market, confirmed that it is holding takeover talks with Empire Online, a U.K.-based company that provides marketing services for the online gambling industry. "These discussions are at a very preliminary stage, and there can be no certainty whatsoever that agreement will be reached and an offer will be forthcoming," Sportingbet said. Last week, Empire admitted that it received a $1.45 billion bid approach after takeover rumors caused its share price to increase sharply; the company, however, declined to identify its suitor. Quoting an unnamed source familiar with the talks, a Financial Times report said that other suitors, such as PartyGaming and 888.com, may yet make rival bids for Empire, which launched an initial public offering (IPO) less than three months ago.

o Report: Online Casino Cassava Planning IPO for 888.com

London -- Cassava Enterprises, a Gibraltar-based online casino operator, announced that it is planning an initial public offering (IPO) for its online casino 888 sometime this month. Cassava said it would seek a full listing on the London Stock Exchange in a move that could value the company at more than $1.29 billion, according to estimates by the Financial Times. "The industry has reached a stage where consolidation is going to be the name of the game over the next 18 months, and we want to be there and take it forward," 888 CEO John Anderson said. Cassava said the IPO would also help it to make acquisitions and hire staff, as well as provide a partial exit for shareholders. Cassava runs several online casinos, including Pacific Poker and Reef Club Casino. 888.com currently boasts more than 20 million members in more than 150 countries.

(Helsinki) Forty-one percent of respondents to a survey by Nokia, the world's largest mobile maker, said they would be willing to buy mobile TV services for a monthly fee of about $15. Fifty-eight percent said they thought mobile TV would eventually become quite popular, assuming the services were reliable and easy to use, that content was suitable for short-period viewing and that phone functions were uncompromised by TV applications. Nokia said its survey -- conducted between March and June with Digita, Elisa, MTV, Channel Four Finland, TeliaSonera Finland and YLE -- was the first real evidence that European consumers were interested in mobile TV services.
