o Peer-to-Peer Veterans iMesh Launch Secure, Paid File-Sharing Service

New York - Peer-to-peer music file-sharing service iMesh on Tuesday became the first of its breed to migrate from an unauthorized network, targeted by recording industry lawsuits, into a fully-licensed, for-pay file-sharing service. The Israel-based developers of iMesh were sued by the major record labels for copyright infringement, and in July 2004 settled the lawsuit and pledged to develop a secure, for-pay file-sharing service. The company at the time paid $4.1 million to the labels, in exchange for an agreement to allow the free iMesh to continue operating while the new service was created, CNET News.com reported. The beta version of iMesh 6.0 offers file-swappers a selection of some 15 million tracks from both the iMesh and Gnutella peer-to-peer networks, 2 million of which are authorized tracks from major and independent labels, and public domain content. Tracks not licensed for downloading will be blocked from users' computers by filtering software. Following a free trial, users will pay $6.95 per month for an ad-free service that allows tethered downloads and includes many social networking features. The company told CNET News.com that a future version will also allow songs to be transferred to some Windows-compatible portable players. A similar paid file-sharing service called Mashboxx is also slated to launch in the fall.

o WSJ: Google Confirms Testing New Online Auction Service

Mountain View, Calif. - Fueling speculation that it plans to go head to head with online auction giant eBay, Google on Tuesday confirmed that it is testing a new service that will allow users to list their items for sale online, The Wall Street Journal's online edition reported. In a statement, the company described the service, to be known as Google Base, as "an early-stage test of a product that enables content owners to easily send their content to Google," but declined to go into further detail. Screenshots of the service, however, appeared on several blogs, including one shot of a form for listing information such as the price of the item, as well as a place to insert photos. Google earlier this year said that it plans to launch an online payments service, as well.

o Apple Launches iTunes Store in Australia; Sony BMG Songs Absent

Sydney - Apple on Tuesday launched its iTunes Music Store in Australia, offering a catalog of one million songs, although notably absent were tracks from major record label Sony BMG. "We are working with Sony and we know their artists would like to be a part of the launch and we hope they will join us," Apple iTunes vice president Eddy Cue told ZDNet Australia. The store is selling songs for about $1.27 and videos for about $2.56. The iTunes store's major competition in Australia will be the BigPond Music service offered by Aussie telco Telstra, which supports downloads to Windows-compatible devices, but not to the iPod.

o Hong Kong BitTorrent User Convicted of Copyright Infringement

Hong Kong - In the world's first copyright infringement case involving the BitTorrenet peer-to-peer file-sharing network, a Hong Kong man has been convicted of copyright infringement for uploading several movies to the Internet, according to a report in The China Post. Thirty-eight year-old Chan Nai-Ming was arrested in January on charges he offered films including "Daredevil," Miss Congeniality" and "Red Planet" on BitTorrent. Chan pleaded not guilty, but was convicted on Monday after a four-day trial; he will be sentenced on Nov. 7. A customs spokesman told The China Post that the department was "delighted" with the outcome, and that it has seen a "sharp fall" in the use of BitTorrent to upload movies since the case.

o Report: Global Video Game Market to Hit Record $58.4 Billion in 2007

London - The release of next-generation video game consoles yet this year and early next year will spur the global games market to a record high of $58.4 billion in 2007, according to a report from U.K.-based market research firm Informa. The games industry will generate $35.3 billion in 2005, a 5.3% increase over 2004, the firm predicted, with the console games industry representing half of games revenue worldwide. Console hardware sales are expected to grow from $3.9 billion in 2005 to $5.8 billion in 2010, while games for the consoles will generate $13 billion this year and $17.2 billion in 2010. "We still anticipate the PS3 to take the largest share in the next wave of consoles, but it will not have such an easy time of it this time around. The Xbox 360 will benefit from first-mover advantage and Nintendo has already revealed some interesting ideas for its Revolution concept," said Informa's Zenobia Talati, co-author of the report. Informa also projects the fast-growing mobile games sector to generate $2.6 billion in 2005, growing to $11 billion by 2010.

o Iranians Angry Over U.S. "Assault on Iran" Video Game

Tehran, Iran - An Iranian state newspaper has criticized an American video game that lets gamers play as U.S. Special Forces searching for and destroying underground Iranian nuclear facilities, Reuters reported. "Americans have a deep craving for an attack against Iran, but they are going to have to settle for this make-believe assault," wrote the Kayhan daily, whose editor is appointed directly by Iran's Supreme Leader. "Assault on Iran" is a mission within New York-based developer Kuma Reality Games' "Kuma War" title, which also includes missions featuring real-world conflicts that have taken place in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Korea; one called "John Kerry's Silver Star" even re-creates the U.S. Senator and Vietnam veteran's swift boat campaign. "The controversy does surprise me. I just didn't expect that there were people from Iran who were going to become aware of it," Kuma CEO Keith Halper told Reuters. Halper said the game has been downloaded thousands of times from inside Iran, and that he has received around 300 e-mails from Iran concerning the game.

o Disney Launches Revamped Movies.com Website

North Hollywood, Calif. - The Walt Disney Internet Group on Tuesday launched a revamped version of its Movies.com website, adding more Hollywood news and other content in a bid to make the site a more popular destination for moviegoers. The company said Movies.com editor Lew Harris, a former senior editor of US Weekly and founding editor-in-chief of E! Online, has hired entertainment and gossip writer Jeanne Wolf to pen a Hollywood column. Originally launched in 2000, the site will now publish more breaking Hollywood news, in addition to more extensive entertainment industry coverage, while continuing to offer features like Ebert & Roeper movie reviews, and previews of new release from Statler and Waldorf, the cynical balcony critics seen on The Muppet Show.
