o Report: New Microsoft Web Radio
Service Skirts Copyright Law
Redmond, Wash. -- A controversial feature of Microsoft's new MSN
Music store that reproduces the playlists of 978 popular radio
stations with "fewer ads, no DJ chatter and less repetition" may run
afoul of copyright laws, Wired News reported on Friday. The $4.99
per month Radio Plus service culls playlists of U.S. and Canadian
stations and then attempts to re-create them from Microsoft's
library of 500,000 licensed songs. It also uses the stations' actual
call letters and nicknames (i.e. K-Earth 101), and in some cases
even their slogans, such as "lite rock, less talk." "The use of
station names is applied only to indicate the top artists on a
station, and we believe it's simply a factual statement about the
radio station, similar to many other public radio charts on the
web," Microsoft said in a statement. Essentially, Microsoft argues
that a radio station playlist is a "fact," which may not be
protected with a copyright. "A lot of radio companies are extremely
defensive about having someone else use something they consider to
be their property," radio consultant Tommy Hadges told Wired News.
"If I'm saying I'm Kiss FM and there's a Kiss FM that's trying to
rip you off, perhaps there's a basis for a lawsuit there."

o Lucas: Piracy
Fears Prompted Early Release of "Star Wars" DVD Trilogy
Los Angeles -- "Star Wars" creator George Lucas said in an
interview with the Associated Press this week that fear of piracy
was the main reason for the decision to release the original film
trilogy on DVD this week, instead of following the release of the
last film in the series, as was originally planned. "Star Wars:
Episode III Revenge of the Sith" is slated for release in May 2005,
while the DVD trilogy containing "A New Hope," "The Empire Strikes
Back" and "Return of the Jedi" was released on Tuesday. "A lot of
people are getting very worried about piracy. That has really eaten
dramatically into the sales," Lucas told AP. "It really just came
down to, there may not be a market when I wanted to bring it out,
which was like, three years from now. So rather than just sit by and
watch the whole thing fall apart, better to bring it out early and
get it over with."

o Tiscali,
CinemaNow Team Up on Video-on-Demand Website
London -- CinemaNow Inc., an Internet video-on-demand service,
announced on Friday that it has entered into a partnership with
Tiscali, an Italy-based Internet service provider (ISP), to offer
videos-on-demand for Tiscali's broadband customers in Germany, Italy
and the U.K. "Just as we did with our Music Club, Tiscali is
stepping in the domain of legal online movie distribution throughout
Europe," said Tiscali Vice President Mario Mariani. "Working with
CinemaNow allows us to expand our content offerings and provides us
with a technology solution that can manage the complexities of a
video-on-demand service." As part of the agreement, CinemaNow will
manage digital and territorial rights protection, user profiling,
comprehensive pay-per-view and subscription services and detailed
report generation, the companies said.

o French
Aircraft Maker Airbus Trials Mobile Phone on Flight
Paris -- Airbus SAS, a France-based aircraft maker, announced on
Friday that it has successfully completed the first in-flight trial
of GSM mobile phones aboard an airplane, a move experts say could
lead to passengers soon being able to use mobile phones in flight.
"The tests are a major milestone in the offering by Airbus of
personal mobile telephones aboard commercial aircraft from 2006,"
the company said in a statement. Airbus said trials aboard its A320
plane in which phones were used to send and receive both calls and
texts showed that mobile phones could be used without interfering
with navigation systems. PDAs and other wireless devices were also
tested successfully, Airbus said.

o Briefly Noted: (San
Francisco) Following favorable court rulings saying that makers of
peer-to-peer file-sharing software are not liable for potential
copyright infringements committed by users of the software, Internet
service provider EarthLink posted an internally-developed
file-sharing program on a company research website this week, CNET
News.com reported. A disclaimer on the site says that EarthLink
advocates "in no way file sharing outside the boundary of fair use."
The "SIPshare" application is meant to show how peer-to-peer
technology may be used in Internet telephony and P2P video services.
"EarthLink believes an open Internet is a good Internet," the site
says. "An open Internet means users have full end-to-end
connectivity to say to each other whatever it is they say -- be that
voice, video, or other data exchanges -- without the help of
mediating servers in the middle, whenever possible."

(London) Atlantic Records artists The Darkness have partnered
with retailer Recordstore.co.uk to launch an online store to sell
digital downloads of their songs, U.K. news site The Register
reported. The album may be purchased in Windows Media format --
which won't play on Mac devices -- for about $11.56, which is about
$1.80 more than what Apple's iTunes Store charges for the same
album. Recordstore.co.uk is using digital distribution technology
from DX3 (Digital Distribution Domain) for the service.

(Redmond, Wash.) Microsoft on Friday said that its newly launched
MSN Music beta service will offer new and archival live performances
from the Monterey Jazz Festival, which holds its 47th annual event
this weekend. Under the agreement, MSN Music will offer six live
performances from this year's festival -- from artists including the
Don Byron Ivey-Divey Trio, the Terence Blanchard Sextet and the Bill
Charlap Trio -- in addition to nearly a dozen more tracks from the
festival's archives, for download and purchase from MSN Music.

(London) 3 UK, a mobile network operator based in the U.K.,
announced earlier this week that it has teamed up with National Rail
Enquiries to provide users with train information on their video
mobile phone. The new My Trains service is now live on the 3 video
mobile network, the company said. "The mobile rail timetable service
is proving to be extremely popular with our customers," said
National Rail Enquiries Chief Executive Officer Chris Scoggins. "The
system enables them to access train timetables and the very latest
real-time arrival and departure information in a quick and easy
format."

(Redwood City, Calif.) Video game publisher Electronic Arts on
Friday shipped its "The Sims 2" title to retailers. Developed at
EA's Maxis studio, the title is a sequel to the top-selling PC game
of all time, which has sold over 36 million units worldwide. The
sequel features the addition of "genetics," with the DNA of Sims
passed down through virtual generations. "For the first time,
players will see emotions, live through life's most memorable
moments and unleash their inner film-making capabilities, all in one
game," said Lucy Bradshaw, executive producer for the game at Maxis.

(Edmonton, Alberta) Video game developer BioWare Corp. announced
on Friday that it has licensed fellow developer Epic Games' Unreal
Engine 3 game technology for use in an upcoming title. North
Carolina-based Epic Games created the popular "Unreal" PC game, and
the physics engine technology that powers the game has been used in
Ubisoft's "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell," Electronic Arts' "Harry
Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "America's Army: Operations"
from the U.S. Army. Canada-based BioWare is responsible for
"Baldur's Gate" and "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic," and
said Epic's Unreal Engine 3 would be used in an as-yet unannounced
title that will figure as its third original game.

(Tokyo) Chipmaker Intel and Japanese game developer Square Enix
said on Friday that they have collaborated to enable Square Enix's
graphics-intensive "Final Fantasy XI" title to be played on
mainstream consumer PCs without the need of an external graphics
card. Intel said the game will run efficiently on machines featuring
its Intel 915G Express chipset, which contains integrated graphics
technology, and is "a key component for volume mainstream PCs for
the second half of 2004 and beyond."

(Espoo, Finland) Cell phone maker Nokia on Friday announced its
"Connect to Art" program, a collaboration between the company and a
number of audiovisual artists. Visual works will be downloadable to
Nokia's 6600, 6620 and 7610 imaging smartphones; the company said
the concept will also soon expand into music. The program will first
launch in Nokia's native Finland, featuring three Finnish artists --
Stefan Lindfors, Osmo Rauhala and Kati Aberg -- whose works are
currently available for free download.

(San Francisco) CNET News.com and MusicAlly both recently
reported on talks being held between Microsoft and major record
labels about the software company's support for CD copy-protection
technologies in its upcoming "Longhorn" Windows operating system,
the successor to Windows XP expected to come out in late 2006. The
labels hope that Microsoft will integrate technology in its
operating system that would recognize a copy-protected disc and
prevent unauthorized uses, instead of current technologies that are
relegated to software placed on the CD itself. A meeting planned for
next week is expected to be the beginning of a long negotiation
process between the two parties.
