o U.S. House Approves Three-Year
Prison Terms for File-Swappers
Washington -- The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday
approved legislation that would provide three-year prison terms for
file-swappers, and direct federal agents to actively target those
who offer songs on peer-to-peer networks like Kazaa. Under the
Piracy Deterrence and Education Act, the FBI would be called on to
educate the public on copyright laws, and be empowered to send
warnings to people suspected of committing copyright infringement on
file-sharing networks; those who were found to be sharing more than
1,000 songs would face prosecution. A similar bill has already
passed in the Senate, but differences in the two will need to be
worked out before the president could sign it into law. The House
bill would also provide a three-year prison term for anyone who
brings a camcorder into a movie theater to pirate a film. Another
provision protects companies that that have invented technological
means of editing out sex and violence from films, for the benefit of
parents and more conservative viewers.

o SoundExchange
Seeks 38,000 Artists Owed $1 Million in Unclaimed Royalties
New York -- SoundExchange, the recording industry non-profit set
up to collect and distribute royalties to record labels and artists
from satellite, Internet and cable TV radio music broadcasts, has
announced that it is seeking over 38,000 artists who are owed around
$1 million in unclaimed royalties. If the artists in question -- who
include The Shangri-Las ("Leader of the Pack") and Black Sheep ("The
Choice is Yours") -- do not step forward by Dec. 31, their royalties
will be forfeited into a general pool that covers SoundExchange
administrative costs and is also re-distributed to member record
labels and artists. SoundExchange, which has distributed nearly $16
million in royalties since 2000, said payouts range from $10 to
about $6,000 per artist. "I am very pleased that SoundExchange has
signed up thousands of artists. Our search, however, has made us
realize how many thousands more we still must find," said
SoundExchange executive director John Simson. "Today we are
launching our most aggressive effort to locate and pay the deserving
artists who are either unaware of their new right or who have not
come forward to claim their earnings." Artists are encouraged to
visit SoundExchange.com to determine if they are owed royalties for
digital performances of their music for the period between 1996 and
2000.

o Apple to
Launch iTunes Stores in More European Countries Next Month
Berlin -- Apple Computer plans to expand its iTunes digital music
store into additional European countries in October, but declined to
name which countries will be included in the expansion, Reuters
reported on Wednesday. The company currently operates iTunes stores
in the U.K., France and Germany. "We are well on pace to launch more
EU stores. We will do it next month," Apple vice president of
applications Eddie Cue said at the Popkomm conference in Berlin. "It
will cover a good portion of Western Europe." Apple's iTunes stores
in the U.S. and Europe have to date sold more than 125 million
downloads.

o Judge
Throws Out Federal Ban on Sale of Live Concert Bootlegs
New York -- A federal judge in New York has struck down a 1994
law that made it illegal to sell bootleg recordings of live concert
performances, Billboard.com reported. U.S. District Judge Harold
Baer Jr. threw out the indictment of Jean Martignon, a Manhattan
woman who runs a mail-order bootleg business called Midnight
Records. In his ruling, Baer Jr. said the anti-bootleg law went
beyond standard laws regarding studio recordings because it placed
no time limit on the ban; copyrights on studio recordings expire 70
years after the author's death. The Recording Industry Association
of America (RIAA) said the decision "stands in marked contrast to
existing law and prior decisions that have determined that Congress
was well within its constitutional authority to adopt legislation
that prevented trafficking in copies of unauthorized recordings of
live performances." The U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan has not
yet said if it will appeal the ruling.

o Sony to
Release Wireless Broadband Portable TV Sets
Toronto -- Japanese electronics giant Sony has introduced a
portable, wireless TV set that can receive TV signals and music over
the Internet from anywhere. Sony will begin selling two models of
its LocationFree TV in Canada next month -- a $1,965 model with a
12-inch LCD touch screen, and $1,258 model with a 7-inch screen. The
devices feature a carrying handle, 2 to 3-hour rechargeable battery,
Memory Stick media slot and Ethernet port. They can surf the Web and
check e-mail, but do not feature a hard disk drive, as Sony says the
device can program home PCs to record TV content that may then be
downloaded to the LocationFree TV over the Internet for viewing.

o Loudeye
Expands P2P Anti-Piracy Service to European Market
Berlin -- Loudeye, a provider of streaming song samples and other
digital media services, announced on Wednesday that it has launched
its Overpeer anti-piracy service in the European marketplace. The
service, which will be distributed through Loudeye's European OD2
subsidiary, promises "99% effectiveness in preventing the illegal
sharing of digital media across peer-to-peer networks."
Seattle-based Loudeye said that Overpeer currently protects more
than 60,000 digital entertainment titles, and that each month it
averages 25 billion digital download hits against its servers,
blocking distribution of copyrighted material across 200 million
unique user sessions.
