o Authors Guild Sues Google for "Massive Copyright Infringement"

New York -- The Authors Guild, a trade union for published authors, announced on Wednesday that it has filed suit against search engine firm Google in federal court, claiming the company's Google Library program that scans books into its index amounts to "massive copyright infringement." The Google Library program aims to scan the text of thousands of books in the public domain into its index, so that users may read them for free online; the company has also partnered with numerous libraries to scan their texts, offering restricted page viewing and prohibiting printed copies from being made. After initial criticism from some publishers, Google now allows them to opt out if they choose not to have their works indexed. "This is a plain and brazen violation of copyright law," said Authors Guild president Nick Taylor. "It's not up to Google or anyone other than the authors, the rightful owners of these copyrights, to decide whether and how their works will be copied." The lawsuit, which seeks damages and an injunction to halt further infringements, was filed on behalf of authors Herbert Mitgang, Betty Miles and Daniel Hoffman -- who were not consulted by Google before their works were included in the Google Library project by the University of Michigan's library. "We regret that this group has chosen litigation to try to stop a program that will make books and the information within them more discoverable to the world," Google said in a statement.

o Parsons: AOL Would Compete with Yahoo, Google in Portal Space

Dulles, Va. -- Time Warner CEO Richard Parsons on Wednesday sidestepped questions about the potential sale of its America Online unit, instead telling an audience of investors that turning around the company's struggling Internet arm is the key to increasing shareholder value. While Parsons admitted that Time Warner has entertained the notion of spinning off AOL, he downplayed the possibility and called AOL the company's "No. 1 point of focus" because of its strong growth potential, Dow Jones Newswires reported. Parsons declined to discuss reports that software giant Microsoft is in talks to buy a major stake in AOL. Parsons said that plans for AOL include transforming it from an ISP into a major web portal that would compete against the likes of Google and Yahoo.

o Verizon Signs Disney Channels for FiOS TV; Deal With News Corp. Close

New York -- Verizon announced on Wednesday that it has signed a long-term programming agreement with Disney, to carry 12 of the company's television networks on its FiOS TV fiber optic-based TV service. Verizon will offer channels including ABC News Now, Disney Channel, ESPN, Toon Disney and a video-on-demand package with a range of different content when FiOS TV becomes available to 3 million homes this year. As part of the deal, Verizon agreed to track subscribers allegedly engaged in copyright infringement of Disney works, and forward notices sent to them to Disney that do not identify the subscriber; the company also agreed to provide subscriber information pursuant to a subpoena, and also terminate Verizon accounts for subscribers "who have infringed Disney copyrights and received multiple notices." Verizon recently launched a pilot of its FiOS TV service in Keller, Texas. Reuters also reported on Wednesday that News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch says his company is close to signing a deal with Verizon that would bring channels including Fox, FX and Fox News to FiOS TV.

o Mobile Content Firm Jamster to Fight U.K. TV Commercial Restrictions

London -- Mobile entertainment distributor Jamster, a unit of VeriSign, said on Wednesday that it plans to contest a recent ruling from the U.K. Advertising Standards Authority Council, stating that the company's ads appeal to children and should be restricted to broadcast only after 9 P.M. "In particular, the ASA fails to adequately consider the well-established fact that the overwhelming majority of Jamster's customers are above age 16 or the protective measures that Jamster has exercised as part of its advertising, including a specific '16-and-over' callout button," the company said in a statement. Jamster cited an ICM Research study that found the mean age of its customers to be 32, and that just 1.6% of its customers were under the age of 16. The company's "Crazy Frog" animated character and ringtone was the first to cross over and become the top-selling overall U.K. music single, bettering Oasis and Coldplay. It also recently partnered with MTV on mobile entertainment initiatives. "Jamster intends to pursue all legal means to overturn the ASA's unjust and unfounded decision about its past advertisements," the company said.

o Report: Infineon to Offload Loss-Making Memory Chips Unit

Frankfurt -- According to a report in German news daily Handelsblatt, Infineon, the largest semiconductor maker in Europe, is planning to offload its loss-making memory chips division by year's end. The company's memory chips have been used in Microsoft's Xbox 360 and other consumer electronics. Quoting unnamed sources familiar with the situation, Handelsblatt said that a supervisory board meeting on Nov. 17 would approve a proposal to sell the division. What's more, the report said Infineon Chairman Wolfgang Ziebart has been planning the move since he took the company's reins more than a year ago. Ziebart reportedly sees more opportunities for Infineon's other semiconductors division for the automotive and telecommunications industries because the memory-chip unit is subject to large sales and earnings swings depending on the vicissitudes of the market. Infineon has declined to comment on the report.
