o Parsons: Sale of Stake in AOL to Google, Comcast is "Market Rumor"

Mountain View, Calif. - Richard Parsons, the CEO of media giant Time Warner, said that reports about his company's possible sale of a stake in its America Online unit are nothing more than a "market rumor," Reuters reported on Friday. Parsons brushed aside news reports that had his company selling a minority stake in AOL to Google and Comcast, and also said there were no plans for an Internet deal with Microsoft, another hot rumor in recent weeks. "It's market rumors, and I can't curb market rumors," Parsons said at a luncheon in Hong Kong on Thursday, declining further comment. Reuters said that two different sources had confirmed its story about a possible deal with Comcast and Google worth up to $5 billion. Meanwhile, various outlets reported on Friday that Yahoo is also considering buying a stake in AOL, although a person close to the talks told the Associated Press that Yahoo's negotiations with Time Warner are not as advanced as those being held with AOL's other purported suitors.

o Aussie Record Industry Settles File-Sharing Lawsuit With ISP Swiftel

Sydney - The Australian record industry has settled a copyright infringement lawsuit it brought against Australian ISP Swiftel, whose employees were alleged to have set up a file-sharing hub for the BitTorrent peer-to-peer network, ZDNet Australia reported on Friday. While any financial terms of the settlement were not disclosed, "the music industry would never have settled the case unless it was on terms that suited it," Michael Kerin, general manager of the Aussie recording industry's Music Industry Piracy Investigations (MIPI) unit, told ZDNet. "Swiftel regrets that it has not taken enough action to date to stop Internet piracy," said Swiftel CEO Ryan O'Hare. "We are committed to implementing a new set of industry leading compliance programs to protect the music industry." An Australian court also recently ruled against Sharman Networks, operator of the Kazaa file-sharing network, in a separate file-sharing copyright lawsuit brought by the recording industry.

o Software Giants Lobby to Eliminate European "Double Tax" on Digital Music

Brussels - "Private copy levies" imposed on digital song downloads in Europe are no longer necessary, as digital rights management security technology now embedded in most downloads sold negates the need for levies set up to compensate artists and copyright holders for potential piracy losses, the Business Software Alliance (BSA) trade group said this week at a gathering of industry leaders in Brussels. Currently, European consumers pay a royalty for online music downloads both at the point of purchase, and in the form of levies imposed when purchasing PCs, and CD and DVD burners -- which are seen as facilitating the download and burning of free music from file-sharing networks. "With DRM technology's expanding role in the market, levies have become a superfluous double tax on consumers," said Francisco Mingorance, director of public policy, Europe for the BSA. "Governments have an opportunity to bring real consumer benefits by applying the European Copyright Directive rules and phasing out the outdated levies system." The Business Software Alliance is a software industry trade group whose members include Microsoft, IBM, Intel, Apple, Cisco, Dell and Adobe.

o Report: Global MP3 Player Shipments to Rise 370% to 124 Million in 2009

Framingham, Mass. - Spurred by sinking costs and improved flash memory card capacities, global MP3 player shipments are projected to grow 370% over the next five years, from 26.4 million in 2004 to 124 million units shipped in 2009, according to a report from market research firm IDC. "Demand for portable MP3 players is booming, as more and more consumers get acquainted with their stylish form factors and digital audio functionality," said Susan Kevorkian, program manager for audio consumer markets at IDC. Driving this growth will be improved capacities and lower costs for manufacturing flash memory cards; IDC predicts maximum flash capacity to increase from 1GB in 2004, to 8GB in 2006 and 16GB by late 2007. Meanwhile, hard drive-based players are expected to grow at a global compound annual growth rate of 21.5% over the next five years. Other factors pushing MP3 player adoption will be video support for portable music players, like Apple's new video iPod, and the availability of paid online media services.

o Anonymous Donor Gives Stanford Students a Year of Free Digital Music

Palo Alto, Calif. - An anonymous donor to Stanford University has provided the funds necessary to offer students a year of free music from Yahoo's digital music service, CNET News.com reported. While the fact that Yahoo co-founders Jerry Yang and David Filo are Stanford alumni caused speculation as to the source of the anonymous donation, the school itself said it chose Yahoo from among competing campus download services, including Napster, Ruckus and Cdigix, for the pilot project. Stanford director of business development Susan Weinstein told News.com that Yahoo's service received the best reviews among students. Following the initial year of free downloads, Yahoo will charge Stanford students $1.75 a month for a basic subscription, and $4.75 a month for the added ability to download unlimited songs to portable devices.

o U.K. Record Industry Pressures Apple, Napster Into Withdrawing P2P Ads

London - Apple and Napster announced that they have withdrawn advertisements on peer-to-peer (p2p) file-sharing websites after receiving harsh criticism from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), a trade body representing U.K. record companies. Both companies said the ads were placed by agencies without their knowledge. BPI Director of Communications Steve Redmond described Apple and Napster's ads as a "sick joke" and urged other companies to ensure they do not advertise on such sites, "even unwittingly." "We deplore the unauthorized distribution of music on Internet sites which prosper by selling advertising on the back of copyright theft," he said. "It is hugely ironic that iTunes and Napster, two companies which have done so much to encourage legal downloading, have been caught up in these sites."

o Electronic Arts to Collaborate with Steven Spielberg on Three Video Games

Redwood City, Calif. - Video game publisher Electronic Arts said on Friday that Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg has signed a deal to help develop three new original game franchises for the company. Under the deal, Spielberg will work with EA's development teams in Los Angeles to led his ideas to the concept, design, story and artistic visualization of the new games. I have been playing EA games for years and have watched them master the interactive format," said Steven Spielberg. "Having watched the game industry grow from a niche into a major creative force in entertainment, I have a great deal of respect for EA's understanding of the interactive format EA will own the intellectual properties and publish and distribute the titles. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. EA's Los Angeles studio has developed such popular game franchises as Medal of Honor, Command & Conquer and The Lord of the Rings.

o Sony Plugs New PSP Security Leak With Release of Firmware Upgrade

Tokyo - Sony has once again updated the security software for its PSP handheld, plugging another hole created by hackers that allows unauthorized or pirated games to play on the device. With the firmware version 2.50 upgrade, Sony also added support for the download and playback of copy-protected video, in an attempt to entice owners to download the free upgrade. The version 1.0 firmware that originally shipped on the PSP was cracked soon after the device's release, prompting Sony to offer a version 2.00 upgrade that closed that loophole; the recent cracking of version 2.00 prompted the additional upgrade this week.
