Universal Music Acquires BMG Music Publishing; Napster Litigation
Settled
Paris - Media conglomerate Vivendi's Universal Music Group

agreement with Germany's Bertelsmann, to acquire BMG Music
Publishing for $2.1 billion. Bertelsmann's music publishing arm

not only be even better positioned to fully capitalize on the many

Under the terms of the settlement, Bertelsmann will pay UMG $60

Sony Delays Launch of PlayStation 3 in Europe to March 2007
Foster City, Calif. - Sony Computer Entertainment America
(SCEA) on Wednesday reaffirmed the Nov. 17 North American launch
date for its PlayStation 3 video game console, following an
announcement earlier in the day that the European launch date for
the console has been pushed back to March 2007. "The change in the
release date for PlayStation 3…will not impact our launch for the
system here in North America," said SCEA president and CEO Kaz
Hirai. "Our plans remain unchanged, and we are on track to meeting
our goals with this important launch. It is also important to note
that the previously announced global PlayStation 3 shipment forecast
of six million units within the fiscal year ending 2007 has not
changed." SCEA said the launch postponement in the other territories
was "caused by the delay in the mass production schedule of the blue
laser diode within the Sony Group, thus affecting the timely
procurement of key components to be utilized in PlayStation 3."

Shares of XM Satellite Radio Fall on
SEC Inquiry
Washington - Shares of XM Satellite Radio fell more than
3% in late-day trading on Wednesday after the company revealed that
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is requesting
information about the satellite radio provider's subscriber targets
and related costs for the final two quarters of 2005. The company
said that the requests "appear to pertain to matters similar to the
issues underlying the previously disclosed securities litigation
filed against us earlier this year." That suit, filed by
shareholders in U.S. District Court in D.C., alleges that XM misled
investors about the high price the company had to pay to reach its
goal of 6 million subscribers last year. XM said that it will
cooperate fully with the SEC's inquiry.
