o U.S. Senate Panel Votes Against
Hard Deadline for Digital TV Transition Washington -- The U.S.
Senate Commerce Committee on Wednesday voted to reject a proposal
from committee chairman Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), which would have
mandated a nationwide transition to digital broadcasting of TV
signals by 2009. The panel did approve almost $1 billion in funding
that would be used for the purchase of low-cost receivers for
low-income TV viewers, but some analysts said the lack of a hard
deadline may postpone the digital TV transition indefinitely. The
current rules state that 85% of a market must have the equipment to
receive digital signals before broadcasters can be forced to abandon
their analog broadcasts and upgrade to digital. Lawmakers then hope
to sell off the freed spectrum to pay for low-cost receivers, as
well as provide some of it to emergency communications services,
which were hampered during 9/11 terrorist attacks.

o U.S. House
Passes Bills on Video Voyeurism, Counterfeit Media Labels
Washington -- The U.S. House on Tuesday approved a bill that will
criminalize "video voyeurism," or the practice of placing hidden
cameras to capture the "private areas" of unsuspecting persons on
video. "With the development of smaller cameras and the
instantaneous distribution capability of the Internet, the issue of
video voyeurism is a huge privacy concern," said House Judiciary
chairman James Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.). The penalties include fines
of up to $100,000 and up to a year in prison. A similar bill already
won approval in the Senate. The House also passed a bill that will
criminalize the sale of "counterfeit labels" on DVDs, CDs or
computer applications.

o Report:
Portable MP3 Player Market to Hit $58 Billion by 2008
Framingham, Mass. -- The market for portable MP3 players like
Apple's iPod is expected to leap to nearly $58 billion by 2008,
fueled by falling price points, the availability of legitimate
downloads and subscription services, and integration of MP3 support
in DVD players and gaming devices, according to a report from
Massachusetts-based research firm IDC. The sector is projected to
experience a five-year compound annual growth rate of 20%. IDC
reports that over 12.5 million flash memory-based players were sold
in 2003, a number expected to grow to 50 million by 2008 as flash
memory costs fall. "New opportunities abound for chip vendors,
device manufacturers and paid music service providers to guide
mainstream music consumers into this rapidly evolving market," said
IDC senior analyst Susan Kevorkian.

o Sony to
Pay $82 Million in Immersion Corp. Patent Infringement Ruling
San Jose, Calif. -- A jury has ruled that Sony's PlayStation 2
video game console infringes on patents on "force-feedback
joysticks" owned by San Jose, Calif.-based Immersion, and ordered
Sony to pay $82 million in damages. The judge in the case has not
yet entered a judgment, though, and Sony is expected to file a range
of post-trial motions, Immersion said. Sony said in a statement that
it plans to appeal the jury's findings. Immersion has also won
licenses of its haptic technology, which causes game controllers to
shudder in players' hands in sync with game action, from Microsoft,
Logitech and Kensington.

o Report: World
Video Game Market Revenue to Hit $41.4 Billion in 2009
San Diego -- The world market for PC and video game hardware and
software is expected to increase from $23.2 billion in 2003 to $31.6
million in 2009, according to a report from San Diego-based market
research firm DFC Intelligence. When combined with DFC's projection
of a $9.8 billion online games market in 2009, total world
interactive entertainment revenue for 2009 is predicted to reach
$41.4 billion. The report is a scenario based on Microsoft launching
a next-generation console gaming system one year before Sony and
Nintendo. It also takes into account new entries into the handheld
market in the form of Nintendo's DS and Sony's PSP, which are
expected to drive sales in the portable game market from $3.9
billion in 2003 to $11.1 billion in 2007.

o Bankrupt
Cable TV Firm Adelphia Launches Sale Process
Greenwood Village, Colo. -- Adelphia Communications, the cable TV
operator that filed for bankruptcy following a fraud scandal
implicating its founding Rigas family, announced on Wednesday that
it has launched a sale process for the company as part of its
Chapter 11 proceedings. Interested parties, who are reported to
include Comcast, Time Warner and Charter, will be able to bid on
seven regional cable system clusters including Northern New
England/Eastern New York; Cleveland/Greater Ohio Valley;
Florida/Southeast; California/Western; Virginia/Maryland/Colorado
Springs/Kentucky; Pennsylvania; and Western New York & Connecticut.
The company has set a price of between $17 and $20 billion for the
entire company, but analysts have said it is more likely the company
will be sold in parts.

o Report:
Warner Licenses Films to Netflix for Potential TiVo VOD Service
San Francisco -- Movie studio Warner Bros. has licensed a selection
of films to online DVD rental service Netflix as part of a test of a
planned Netflix video-on-demand service, CNET News.com reported,
citing sources familiar with the plan. Although Netflix denied any
relationship with Warner for video-on-demand, News.com previously
reported that Netflix and TiVo are collaborating on a service that
would allow users to download movies from Netflix that could then be
delivered to a TiVo box and viewed on a television. TiVo said
recently that it will support new copy-protection from Macrovision,
which an industry source told News.com that Warner Bros. plans to
test through its movie license deal with Netflix.

o Gov.
Schwarzenegger Prohibits Use of Calif. State PCs for File-Sharing
Sacramento, Calif. -- California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has
signed an executive order prohibiting the use of state resources to
illegally download copyrighted material. Schwarzenegger charged the
state's chief information officer with the development of a
statewide policy regarding the use of peer-to-peer file-sharing
programs on state computers, which will apply to all state agencies,
departments, boards, commissions and offices of the executive
branch. "So many of the entertainment industry's talented musicians,
actors, writers and programmers devote their careers to creating
products that enrich our society," said Schwarzenegger. "Today
California is taking a stand against use of state resources for
illegal downloading of this material and standing in support of the
work of these talented Californians."

song used in one of its tracks, even through it had been altered to
the point it was not easily recognizable as the original. The
protest encourages people to submit 30-second songs created from the
1.5-second sample in question. "It's becoming impossible for any
producer -- even the wealthiest producers like Puff Daddy -- to make
collage, sample-based music," Downhill Battle's Nicholas Reville
told Wired News. "Albums like the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique
would be totally impossible to make now."
