o Publishers Sue to Halt Google Library Book-Scanning Project

Washington - A trade group of U.S. publishing companies has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against search engine giant Google, over the company's plans to scan the world's books into a searchable Web index. The Association of American Publishers (AAP), whose members include The McGraw-Hill Companies, Pearson Education, Penguin Group, Simon & Schuster and John Wiley & Sons, joins the Authors Guild writers' union in suing Google, which they say violates copyrights by failing to ask for authors' permissions before including their works in the Google Print Library Project. "The publishing industry is united behind this lawsuit against Google and united in the fight to defend their rights," said AAP president and former Colorado Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder. "While authors and publishers know how useful Google's search engine can be and think the Print Library could be an excellent resource, the bottom line is that under its current plan Google is seeking to make millions of dollars by freeloading on the talent and property of authors and publishers." Google had temporarily halted the project, to address author and publisher concerns, but plans to resume scanning books on Nov. 1. The AAP lawsuit seeks a judge's declaration that Google's book scanning constitutes copyright infringement, and an injunction against the practice unless Google obtains permissions from authors.

o America Online Cuts More than 700 Jobs

Dulles, Va. - As it continues to be courted by such companies as Microsoft, Google and Yahoo, America Online said on Wednesday that it has cut more than 700 jobs -- nearly 5% of its workforce -- as part of its ongoing effort to reduce costs. The company said that most of the cuts are related to its dial-up service, which has lost about seven million subscribers over the past three years, as customers migrate either to cheaper dial-up or faster broadband services. As part of the move, AOL has shut down its Orlando, Fla. call center, where it had employed 471 workers. Other cuts occurred at its Dulles, Va. headquarters. "We need to reduce our costs in proportion to the decline in subscriber revenues," Jonathan Miller, the CEO of AOL, wrote in a memo to employees on Tuesday.

o Forrester Predicts Sony's Blu-ray Will Win DVD Format War

Cambridge, Mass. - Market research firm Forrester Research on Wednesday predicted that Sony's Blu-ray Disc format will win the looming next-generation DVD format war with Toshiba, which has developed the rival HD DVD format. "Two groups are competing for control of high-definition DVD formats to be launched in spring 2006. After a long and tedious run up to the launch, it is now clear to Forrester that the Sony-led Blu-ray format will win," Forrester analyst Ted Schadler said in a report released on Wednesday. Backers of Sony's Blu-ray include Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Pioneer, LG, Dell, HP and Apple, in addition to movie studios Sony, Fox, Disney and Paramount -- which recently became the first studio to announce support for both formats. Companies that have pledged support for HD DVD include Sanyo, NEC, and entertainment firms HBO, New Line Cinema, Universal, Warner and Paramount. "Unless the HD-DVD group abandons the field, it will be another two years before consumers are confident enough of the winner to think about buying a new format DVD player. In the meantime, they will expand their video-on-demand (VOD), downloadable video, and Internet video habits," added Schadler.

o Google Launches Eight Local European Websites for Print Project

London - Google announced that it has launched local-language websites in eight European countries for its controversial Google Print program. The U.S.-based Internet search giant said the new websites for Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland would allow users to search books provided by publishers in each country, as well as English-language books for which Google has secured local rights. Eventually, the sites will grant access to data about foreign-language books in the collections of the New York Public Library and the libraries of Stanford, Harvard, Michigan and Oxford universities. The project, however, has not been easy going for Google, which has been sued by U.S. authors and publishers for copyright infringement and deemed "culturally imperialistic" by the chief librarian of France.

o Yahoo's Revenue Soars 47% in Quarter; Profits Beat Estimates

Sunnyvale, Calif. - Buoyed by the success of its fee-based services and an increase in online advertising, Yahoo on Tuesday reported a 47% jump in quarterly revenue, though net income remained about the same as a year ago, when the company was helped by a large investment gain. The company reported a profit of $253.8 million, compared with $253.3 million a year ago, when it realized a $129 million gain on the sale of Google shares. Earnings per share of $0.17 topped analysts' estimates by $0.03, according to a survey by Thomson First Call. The big story, however, was the company revenue, which rose from $906.7 million to $1.33 billion. The news helped send the company's stock up nearly 1% in after-hours trading.

o Robertson's MP3tunes Hires Famous Hacker "DVD Jon"

San Francisco - Michael Robertson, the founder of pioneering digital music site MP3.com and current head of a venture called MP3tunes, has hired Jon Lech Johansen, the 21-year-old Norwegian hacker who became famous for cracking the industry's DVD security technology, Wired News reported on Wednesday. "I have no idea what I'll be doing, but I know it will be reverse engineering, and I'm sure it will be interesting," Johansen told Wired News. Johansen added that a stopover in San Francisco on the way to Robertson's San Diego operations was made in part to consult with lawyers from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a digital civil liberties group that has defended other programmers sued by the U.S. government for cracking copy-protection technologies. Distributors of DVD copying software based on Johansen's hacking, including 321 Studios, have been sued out of existence by the U.S. entertainment industry. Robertson told Wired News that Johansen will be put to work on a project called "Obeo" at MP3tunes, which sells digital songs in unprotected MP3 format.

o Xbox 360 Game Controller to Also Work With PCs

Redmond, Wash. - Microsoft on Wednesday introduced its first cross-platform video game controller, which will work with both its next-generation Xbox 360 video game console and with Windows-based PCs. Microsoft said the controller features an enhanced ergonomic design, support for force feedback vibration technology, and a controller cable that can plug into a standard PC USB port. "This is a great breakthrough for the gaming industry as we make it easier for developers to create multiplatform titles," said Chris Donahue, director of the Windows gaming and graphics team at Microsoft. The $39 controller is already available in North America, and is slated for release soon in Europe and Asia. The Xbox 360 is slated for release on Nov. 22 in the U.S.

o E Ink, LG.Philips Create First Tablet-Size Electronic Paper Display

Tokyo - Consumer electronics joint venture LG.Philips LCD announced on Wednesday that it has developed the world's first tablet-size, flexible electronic paper display, based on technology developed by Massachusetts-based E Ink. The E Ink technology provides for an electronic display that looks like printed ink on paper, and like paper can be flexed and rolled. The LG.Philips display measures 10.1-inches, is less than 300 microns thick, and offers SVGA (600 x 800) resolution. The companies plan to show the device at the FPD International trade show in Japan. "We all need flexible displays," said E Ink CEO Russ Wilcox. "They are 80% thinner and lighter than glass displays, and they do not break like glass displays. You can roll them up and put them in your pocket. You can curve them around the outside of a cellphone. Or you can throw them in your briefcase like a newspaper."

o Google to Change "Gmail" to "Google Mail" in U.K.

London - Independent International Investment Research Plc, a U.K.-based company that supplies financial research, announced that it has dropped legal action against Google after the U.S.-based Internet search giant agreed to change the name of its "Gmail" service in the U.K. to "Google Mail". Independent International, which launched its own "G-mail" web-based e-mail service more than two years before Google, has been threatening the search giant with legal action since last April. The decision to drop the name in the U.K., coupled with a recent court defeat in Germany, means that Google will now be supporting a different brand for its email service in two of the largest European economies.

o U.K. Unveils Plan to License More Digital Radio Channels

London - Ofcom, the U.K. telecommunications regulator, has unveiled a plan to make nearly all radio stations in U.K. available on digital radio and to bring digital radio coverage to all parts of the country. Currently, about 85% of the U.K. can receive Digital Audio Broadcast radio, which offers better sound quality, additional stations and more data capabilities. "Our proposals will give more freedom and more digital capacity to commercial radio," said Ofcom CEO Stephen Carter. "We would ask the industry to give careful consideration to our thinking." The regulator also said it planned to allocate three blocks of VHF Band III spectrum for new DAB multiplexes and a further block of spectrum for a new national multiplex. Ofcom added that there were no plans to turn off analogue radio once digital coverage is complete.

o U.K. Broadcaster ITV to Trial TiVo-Like Internet TV Service

Brighton, England - U.K. broadcaster ITV announced that it would trial an Internet TV service offering people the chance to make their own schedules and broadcasts. If the three-month trial in Brighton and Hastings is successful, ITV will roll out the service in other regions across the U.K. "ITV has been proud of its regional services for 50 years, but until now we haven't had the delivery systems to provide a truly local service," said ITV Meridian managing director Lindsay Charlton. "The rapid advance in the number of broadband homes in the U.K., combined with improvements in streaming technology, has transformed the opportunities for local broadcasting."
