o California Passes Law Mandating
E-Mail Addresses From File-Swappers Sacramento, Calif. -- It is
now illegal in the state of California to trade songs or movies on
the Internet without the sender including his or her valid e-mail
address. Earlier this week, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the
Motion Picture Association of America-sponsored SB 1506, introduced
by state Sen. Kevin Murray, into law. File-swappers who fail to
include a valid e-mail will be guilty of a misdemeanor. Proponents
said the law will enable law enforcement to attack piracy more
effectively; those opposed to the legislation, including the
Electronic Frontier Foundation and American Civil Liberties Union,
said it infringes privacy rights and will make criminals out of
casual file-swappers. The governor also made it a crime this week to
use state-owned computers for file-sharing.

o Report: Sony
to Add Support for MP3 Format to Portable Music Players
San Francisco -- Sony is developing support for the popular MP3
format into its line of portable digital music players, in a shift
that may move the company more into the line of both smaller
manufacturers and rival Apple, whose devices support multiple
formats, ZDNet France reported. "We're discussing plans to bring
flash players to the United States that support MP3 files, but we
have nothing to announce at this time," Gretchen Griswold, a
representative of Sony Electronics, told ZDNet France. Previously,
Sony devices only played tracks encoded in its proprietary ATRAC 3
format; likewise, the company only sells ATRAC 3 songs on its
Connect music service. Apple has come under fire from rivals like
RealNetworks for only supporting an in-house format for downloads
from its iTunes Store to its iPod players; however, the iPod has
always supported playback of MP3 files. A source told ZDNet France
Sony is also considering MP3 support in its hard disk players. "We
want to push Atrac on our music download services and remain
convinced that it is the best format on the market," the ZDNet
France source said. "But it is clear that the industry benchmark is
Apple's iPod, which is compatible with MP3."

o Survey: Most
View Internet, TV As Media Equals
New York -- Consumers increasingly view the Internet as just as
viable a source of information and entertainment as television or
newspapers, according to a survey of 18 to 54 year-olds conducted by
Frank N. Magid Associates on behalf of the Online Publishers
Association (OPA). Nearly forty-six percent of respondents cited the
Internet as their "top media choice," followed by television (34.6%)
and newspapers (3.2%). Among 18 to 24 year-olds, 50.5% picked the
Internet over television (28.5%). Overall, 73% said the Internet is
an important part of their day and helps them keep up with topics of
interest, and 47% report using it more than they did a year ago.
Nineteen percent said they use the Internet more than five hours per
day during the week, while 15% watch more than five hours of TV per
day. "Consumers continue to move beyond purely functional uses of
the Internet into more media-oriented activities, such as reading
stories, looking at photos, and watching video," said OPA president
Michael Zimbalist. The survey found that 83% said reading a news
story online is the same or better than a newspaper, and 67% said
watching a short clip online is the same or better than TV. However,
63% still believe television is better for longer programs.

o
RealNetworks to Combine RealPlayer Software, Music Services Units
Seattle -- RealNetworks, a provider of media delivery technology,
announced on Thursday a plan to integrate its RealPlayer and Music
Services businesses into a single unit, bringing together the teams
that develop its audio and video playback software, RealPlayer, and
its RealPlayer Music Store, RadioPass and Rhapsody services. The
combined unit will be headed by Robert Acker, who currently serves
as vice president of the RealPlayer unit. "Over the next year we
believe it's critical to adopt a holistic approach that tightly
integrates our player and music businesses, especially as we begin
developing a new version of Rhapsody that includes Harmony
technology," said RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser. Seattle-based
RealNetworks also announced the departure of vice president of music
services Sean Ryan -- former CEO of Listen.com -- who left to pursue
other business opportunities. The company also said that it has
named former Listen.com executive Nirangan Nagar as general manager
of its music services division, overseeing operations of the
RealPlayer Music Store and Rhapsody service.

o Report: 2004
U.S. Ringtone Sales Double to $300 Million
New York -- Global sales of ringtones for cell phones in 2004 will
reach $4 billion, with the U.S. contributing $300 million to the
total, according to a report from New York-based mobile market
analysis firm Consect. U.S. sales will have doubled from 2003's $150
million, and indicate the U.S. is one of the fastest-growing markets
for ringtones. "Surpassing $300 million this year, ringtone sales
are becoming a significant component of the music industry's
business, exceeding that of digital music downloads even at this
early stage of the market," said Consect CEO Mark Frieser. The U.S.
market is still dwarfed by Western Europe, which will see $1.5
billion in ringtone revenues in 2004, as well as Korea ($500
million); the rest of the world is projected to generate a combined
$700 million.

o Watered-Down
Video Game Sales Bill Passes in California
Sacramento, Calif. -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a Calif.
state bill into law that will require retailers to prominently
display ESRB video game ratings in their stores, as well as provide
pamphlets on the ratings system to parents. An earlier version of AB
1793, introduced by Assemblyman Leland Yee, would have compelled
retailers to cordon off "Mature"-rated titles in a separate part of
the store and penalized clerks violating the ban on the sale of such
games to minors with a $2000 fine and up to one year in prison. That
version of Yee's bill was rejected.

o Google
Prevails in German Paid-Search Ad Trademark Suit
Frankfurt, Germany -- A German court has ruled against a company
that filed suit against search engine firm Google, saying Google did
not infringe the company's trademarks with its keyword search-based
advertising service, the Associated Press reported. Metaspinner
Media argued that Google Deutschland infringed on its trademarked "Preispirated"
("Price Pirate") software by allowing advertisers to bid on the term
for ad placements. Metaspinner Media attorney Petra Bosbach told AP
the decision may take weeks to analyze, while Google had no comment.
The search engine firm faces similar trademark infringement claims
in both the U.S. and France.

o Study: Most
People Completely Dependent on Internet
Sunnyvale, Calif. -- People are so dependent on the Internet that
they on average can't go without being online for more than five
days, according to a new study funded by Web portal Yahoo.
Participants in the Internet Deprivation Study found living without
the Internet more difficult than they expected, and in some cases
impossible, since they rely so heavily on Web-based tools and
services in their daily lives. Nearly half the respondents indicated
they could not go without the Internet for more than two weeks, with
the average time being just five days. The study also further
illustrated the concept of the "digital divide," with three quarters
of respondents agreeing that the Internet gives them an advantage
over those who don't have access to it, including lower prices,
quicker service and more convenience.

PassAlong.com, the company is also launching a companion store on
eBay that will be the first to feature major label songs. PassAlong
expects to offer the complete digital catalogs of all four major
labels and increase its library to 500,000 tracks by the end of the
month. The service also allows users to send links to songs via

for $3.95 per month.

universal human reaction to tragedy,'' Dr. Mark Levy, a psychiatrist
and expert in post-traumatic stress disorder at UCSF, told The
Chronicle. "There is both relief -- 'Thank God it wasn't me' -- and
identification with the victim -- 'What must it have been like?'."
