o WSJ: Microsoft Ends Subscription
Service Licensing Talks With Labels
New York - The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday
that Microsoft cited high royalty rates as it ended talks with the
major record labels towards licensing their songs for a digital
music subscription service. Microsoft has not yet announced such a
service, which would be similar to offerings from Napster, Yahoo and
RealNetworks, but is expected to enter the market. The breakdown of
licensing negotiations will likely indefinitely postpone a launch,
The Journal reported, citing two people close to the situation. The
labels were reportedly seeking $6 to $8 per month per user for
access to their songs for a subscription service, which label
sources said was standard; while Yahoo's subscription service costs
$4.99 per month, Napster's and RealNetworks' are both around $15 per
month.

o Report:
RIAA Has Wrongly Sued "Hundreds" of File-Swappers
San Francisco - Wired News on Tuesday cited legal experts
who said "hundreds" of people are being wrongly sued by the
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for copyright
infringement on file-sharing networks. Last week, a judge in
Michigan dismissed a RIAA lawsuit against a woman who claimed the
file-sharing was done by one of her children, and that the RIAA
engaged in abusive behavior to try to get her to settle. "My
impression is that the majority of those sued are innocent," Ray
Beckerman, an attorney with Beldock Levine & Hoffman, told Wired
News. "What really rankled me is the bullying tactics they use, and
I don't like bullies. Prior to retaining lawyers, when (defendants)
talk to the settlement support center, they are threatened with
criminal prosecution, ruin of their credit, publication of their
names." Some say that many of the IP addresses the RIAA collected
from anonymous file-swappers, and later connected to Internet
account owners through ISPs, have been matched with the wrong
individuals. An RIAA spokeswoman told Wired News the RIAA has
"complete confidence in the litigations we have filed and in the
judicial process to resolve the issues raised in those cases." The
RIAA has sued over 14,000 file-swappers for copyright infringement,
and has so far settled some 3,300 of those cases out of court.

o Peter
Jackson Signs On to Film Adaptation of "Halo" Xbox Game
Los Angeles - Microsoft announced on Tuesday that director
Peter Jackson ("The Lord of the Rings," "King Kong") and his wife
Fran Walsh have been named as executive producers for the movie
adaptation of its "Halo" Xbox video game. The film, based on a
script from Alex Garland ("28 Days Later," "The Beach") will be shot
in New Zealand using Jackson's production facilities; a director for
the film has not yet been announced. "I'm a huge fan of the game and

o Motorola
Licenses Universal Songs for iRadio Phone/Car Stereo Service
Schaumberg, Ill. - Motorola announced on Tuesday that it

which will let consumers transfer streaming music and Internet talk
radio onto cell phones, and then listen both on their phones and on

first major label to sign on to the service, EMI has also expressed
interest in iRadio, whose launch was recently delayed from the fall
until next spring. The service is expected to cost between $5 and $7
per month, while iRadio handsets will cost about $200, and a
Bluetooth car stereo adapter will be another $65. "The innovative
Motorola iRadio service can securely deliver a customized choice of
radio stations right to the fans of virtually any artist. So now,

said Mike Gaumond, vice president and general manager, Motorola
iRadio.
