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."
