o Best Buy
Launches Digital Music Service Powered by RealNetworks
Minneapolis - Electronics and media retailer Best Buy
announced on Thursday plans to launch a digital music store powered
by RealNetworks' Rhapsody service. The Best Buy Digital Music Store,
which launches Oct. 15, will feature tight integration with memory
card maker SanDisk's line of Sansa Rhapsody MP3 players. Consumers
who purchase the $139 (2GB) or $249 (8GB) Sansa e200 Rhapsody player
will be given a free two-month subscription to the service, enabling
unlimited downloads to the players; after the trial period the
portable downloads service will cost $14.99 per month. Users can
also purchase tracks from Rhapsody a la carte for 99 cents each.
"Whether they want to purchase downloads or a subscription and have
access to all the music, we're giving consumers the ability to enjoy
entertainment on their terms," said Jennifer Schaidler, vice
president of music for Best Buy. The launch coincided with the
release of RealNetworks' Rhapsody 4.0, an enhanced version of the
digital music service that allows users to drag-and-drop songs from
the service directly onto their portable players.

o U.S.
Trade Rep: Russian MP3 Store Barrier to WTO Accession
Washington - The U.S. Trade Representative has called on
Russia to shutter music download store AllofMP3.com, pointing to it
as an impediment to the country's accession to the World Trade
Organization (WTO), Reuters reported. Susan Schwab previously
identified the site -- which sells songs for pennies -- as the
"poster child" for online music piracy. "I have a hard time
imagining Russia becoming a member of the WTO and having a Web site
like that up and running that is so clearly a violation of
everyone's intellectual property rights," U.S. Trade Representative
Schwab told Reuters. The recording industry has been trying for some
time to pressure Russian authorities to shut down AllofMP3.com, but
despite an investigation that found the site is breaking Russian
laws, prosecutors in Moscow have not taken action thus far against
the company. The topic will likely be resurrected next week at
another meeting between U.S. and Russian officials on WTO accession.

o $2.37
Billion Bid by Cable TV Firms, Sprint Nextel Wins Wireless Spectrum
Philadelphia - A joint venture called SpectrumCo that
includes cable TV firms Comcast, Time Warner and Cox, and wireless
carrier Sprint Nextel, announced on Thursday that its bid of $2.37
billion has won 137 wireless spectrum licenses in an FCC auction.
The deal will eventually enable the cable TV firms to expand their
bundled services -- which currently offer voice, Internet and TV
offerings -- to include wireless phone service. The auction included
spectrum that covers a national footprint and major U.S. cities
including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. SpectrumCo, which
bested bids from satellite firms DirecTV and EchoStar, said it has
no finalized plans to build out the networks at this time. Of the
$2.37 billion bid, Comcast contributed $1.29 billion, while Time
Warner Cable paid $632.2 million and Cox provided $248.3 million.

o "Star
Wars" Director's Lucasfilm to Curtail Film Production, Focus on TV
Los Angeles - "Star Wars" director George Lucas said on
Thursday that his Lucasfilm production company will shift its focus
away from movies and into developing programming for TV and other
platforms, Daily Variety reported. "We don't want to make movies.
We're about to get into television. As far as Lucasfilm is
concerned, we've moved away from the feature film thing because it's
too expensive and it's too risky," Lucas told Variety, at the
groundbreaking for USC's School of Cinematic Arts, to which Lucas
contributed $175 million. He added that he believes Americans are
gradually abandoning the habit of going to the movies. "I don't
think anything's going to be a habit anymore. I think people are
going to be drawn to a certain medium in their leisure time and
they're going to do it because there is a desire to do it at that
particular moment in time. Everything is going to be a matter of
choice. I think that's going to be a huge revolution in the
industry," Lucas told Variety. Despite the announcement, Lucasfilm
is still at work on films including "Indiana Jones 4" and "Red
Tails."

Bertelsmann Appeal European Ruling Annulling Sony BMG Merger
Brussels - Japan's Sony and Germany's Bertelsmann have
appealed an European court ruling that annulled the merger deal that
combined its record label operations to form Sony BMG, Reuters
reported. As a result, the European Commission must reexamine any
antitrust concerns they found were raised by the deal, which created
the world's second-largest record label. The Luxembourg-based
European Court of Justice will hear the appeal, which Reuters said
will likely take over a year to complete.

o Game
Industry Lauds $9 Million Verdict Against "Mod Chip" Traffickers
Washington - The Entertainment Software Association (ESA),
a video game industry trade group, on Thursday applauded a recent
federal court decision in California that ordered makers of "mod
chips" that allow game consoles to play pirated games to pay $9
million in damages. The Sept. 11 verdict from U.S. District Court
Judge Claudia Wilken said that a company called Divineo and several
individuals violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by
trafficking in mod chips and HDLoaders, which allow copies of games
to be downloaded directly onto a game console's hard drive. "This
Court order is very important because it recognizes the significant
damage that mod chips and HDLoaders cause the entertainment software
industry and delivers the clear message that trafficking in
circumvention devices that enable game piracy will result in heavy
penalties," said Ric Hirsch, senior vice president of intellectual
property enforcement for the ESA.

o Report:
56% of 117 Million U.S. Active Gamers Play Online; 64% are Women
Los Angeles - A new report estimates that there are 117
million active games (defined as those who play upwards of five
hours per week) in the U.S., more than half of whom (56%) play
online games. Of all online gamers, the report from Nielsen
Entertainment found that 64% are women. While teenagers still
comprise the largest share of online gamers (40%), Nielsen found
that 8%, or nearly 15 million active gamers, are 45 or older. "The
expansion of next generation hardware and technology in the
marketplace is simultaneously delivering new ecosystems of social
exchange, interactive entertainment, media experiences and
advertising models," said Emily Della Maggiora, senior vice
president of Nielsen Interactive Entertainment. "We see everyday how
important online gaming is in terms of connecting people and
bringing communities of gamers together." The report also found that
64% of active gamers play on PC-based systems, while 59% owned a
PlayStation 2, 33% have an Xbox, 30% own a GameCube and 15% have
purchased an Xbox 360. During the past six months, active games have
purchased, on average, four new games, with 90% purchased at retail
and 10% downloaded online.

o PC
Lightning Damage Forces Sweden to Drop File-Sharing Charges
London - Lightning damage to the PC of a Swedish
politician who admitted to being an avid file-swapper and encouraged
others to do the same has forced Swedish authorities to drop
copyright infringement charges against him, TheRegister reported.
Ivan Wenster revealed his support for file-sharing in the wake of a
raid on The Pirate Bay, a popular site for downloading free media
files, by Swedish authorities. After legislation outlawing illicit
downloading was passed in Sweden in July 2005, Wenster turned
himself into authorities, and would have faced up to two years in
jail. But the freak lightning incident that burned his PC
intervened. "They laughed when I told them," Wenster told Swedish
site The Local. "It was my children's and wife's PC, too."
