Patent Infringement Suits Against Amazon.com
Research Triangle Park, N.C. - IBM has filed two patent
infringement lawsuits against Amazon.com for unspecified damages.
The company said that it filed the suit in two District Courts for
the Eastern District of Texas after nearly four years of attempting
to resolve the issues. "IBM's property is being knowingly and
unfairly exploited," said John Kelly III, the senior vice president
of IBM technology and intellectual property. The patents cover such
processes as presenting applications in an interactive service,
storing data in an interactive network and ordering items using an
electronic catalogue. "Dating back to September 2002, IBM has
notified Amazon.com numerous times of the infringement, but
Amazon.com has shown no willingness to have meaningful discussions,"
IBM said in a statement.

Parlophone Label Debuts Online Demo Submissions
London - Major record label EMI Group's Parlophone label
announced on Tuesday the creation of an online service where
aspiring musicians can upload their demo recordings and publicity
photos for consideration. Written by a former musician, the software
tracks which recordings have been reviewed and rated by Parlophone
-- and also relays this information to musicians. "One of our top
priorities is to keep our talent spotting process as efficient and
up to date as possible," Nigel Coxon, head of Parlophone's artist
and repertoire team, told AP. Coxon added that the label, which is
home to artists including Paul McCartney and Radiohead, hopes to
transition all demo submissions to the online service in the coming
months.

Delays "World of Warcraft" Expansion Pack to January
Irvine, Calif. - Vivendi Games' Blizzard Entertainment

month. "By adding a few extra weeks to the development cycle beyond
its original target date, Blizzard will be able to extend the closed
beta test and further refine the new content that will ship with the
game," the company said in a statement. "World of Warcraft"
currently claims over 6.5 million subscribers.

Introduces New Software for Publishing, Reading E-books

Digital Editions is slated for release in early 2007.
