o Finnish BitTorrent Network Operators Convicted on Copyright Charges

Helsinki - A court in Finland has convicted 21 operators of a BitTorrent network on copyright-related charges, and ordered them to pay damages and expenses of over $721,000 to rights holders. The court rejected the argument from the operators of Finreactor, who claimed they were not liable as media was exchanged directly between users, ruling instead that defendants willfully encouraged copyright infringement, requiring its 10,000 users to maintain a minimum ratio of uploaded to downloaded content to maintain their accounts. During three months in late 2004, Finreactor users downloaded nearly 16,000 games, 136,000 movies and 274,000 music albums on the network.

o Microsoft: Six Million Xbox 360 Video Game Consoles Sold

Redmond, Wash. - Microsoft has sold a total of six million Xbox 360 video game consoles since the product's release nearly a year ago, according to first quarter results. The company expects to have shipped 10 million units worldwide by the end of 2006. Microsoft also narrowed losses at the division which includes its Xbox business, from $173 million in the first quarter of 2005 to $96 million in the same period this year.

o EMI Chairman Levy: "The CD as it is Right Now is Dead"

London - Alain Levy, the chairman and CEO of major record label EMI Music, made the comment before an audience at the London Business School this week, MarketWatch.com reported. "You're not going to offer your mother-in-law iTunes downloads for Christmas," Levy added. "But we have to be much more innovative in the way we sell physical content...By the beginning of next year, none of our content will come without any additional material." Levy stated that 60% of consumers now rip CDs to their computers for transfer to portable devices. The head of EMI Music also said the company was continuing talks with Google on an ad revenue-sharing deal to license EMI content to YouTube, Google's recently acquired video-sharing site. EMI rivals Warner Music, Sony BMG and Universal have already signed licensing deals with YouTube.

o Danish Court Orders ISP to Block Access to Russia's AllofMP3.com

London - A Danish court has ordered an ISP to block subscribers from accessing controversial Russian digital music store AllofMP3.com. The ruling came as a result of a lawsuit filed by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), an international record label trade group. The Danish court on Wednesday ordered Sweden-based ISP Tele2 to block its subscribers' access to the Russian download store, which claims to be properly licensed but sells albums for as little as $2. "This judgment is one more step along the road to getting this rogue site closed down. Allofmp3.com illegally offers for sale copies of music that it has no right to reproduce or distribute," said IFPI chairman and CEO I John Kennedy. The ruling follows decisions from MasterCard and Visa to block payments to AllofMP3.com, and pressure from the U.S. Trade Representative to have the site shuttered.

o Judge Denies Motion to Dismiss in Take-Two Class Action

New York - A federal judge has denied "Grand Theft Auto" game publisher Take-Two Interactive's motion to dismiss a class action lawsuit that claims the company violated consumer protection laws when it included hidden sexually explicit content in the game, Reuters reported. U.S. District Judge Shirley Wohl Kram rejected Take-Two's argument that plaintiffs could only file claims in states in which they resided, instead of all 50 states. "If class certification is granted, the court will have the benefit of a well-defined class and a more fully developed treatment of potential choice of law questions," Kram wrote in an opinion dated Wednesday.

o Report: Group Led by Ted Venetoulis Looking to Buy Baltimore Sun

Baltimore - A group led by former Baltimore County Executive Ted Venetoulis is hoping to buy The Baltimore Sun from owner Tribune, The Washington Post reported on Friday. Venetoulis, whose Baltimore Media Group also includes local civic leader Walter Sondheim Jr. and Robert Embry Jr., the president of Baltimore's Abell Foundation, said that he's hoping to return the paper to private ownership to restore some of the quality that has been lost over the years as a result of increased budget concerns. "Everyone (in the investment group) needs to understand this may not be the best business venture around and the return may not be what they expect," he told The Post. "This is part civic responsibility." Tribune, which purchased The Sun and other papers from Times Mirror in 2000, set Friday as its deadline for bids for either the company as a whole or its individual pieces. The Post reported the DC-based Carlyle Group is expected to be among the bidders for Tribune. The Sun's daily circulation has dropped about 10% over the past year to 236,000.

o Report: U.S. Online Spending Increases 16% in Third Quarter

Reston, Va. - Total online spending by U.S. consumers reached $41.3 billion in the third quarter, up 16% from the same quarter a year ago, according to new figures from comScore Networks. Leading the charge was spending on consumer electronics (up 42%) and apparel and accessories (up 32%). The firm is now forecasting that total consumer online spending this year will reach approximately $170 billion, with non-travel spending breaking the $100 billion threshold for the first time. "Online consumer spending at U.S. sites -- and particularly non-travel spending -- remains strong," said Gian Fulgoni, the chairman of comScore Networks.

o Zoom Systems Raises $35 Million in Fourth Round

San Francisco - Zoom Systems, a maker of automated robotic stores, said that it has raised $35 million in its fourth round of funding from Goldman, Sachs & Co., Sierra Ventures and Motorola Ventures. NeoCarta Ventures, which led the company's second round, also contributed. The company's robotic stores are located in high traffic areas, and allow shoppers to select products through a touch screen graphic interface. They can pay for items with a credit or debit card and receive them from a robotic arm. All of Zoom's stores are networked and centrally monitored. Over the next two years, Zoom said that it plans to implement several thousand of the units at airports, hotels, malls and retail stores.

o Jupitermedia Acquires Spanish Image Distributor

Darien, Conn. - Jupitermedia, the provider of original information, images and digital content, said on Thursday that its Jupiterimages division has acquired Cover - Imagen y Publicaciones, a Spain-based distributor of local and international rights-managed images. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The acquisition gives Jupiterimages, which already owns a library of more than 7 million online images online, about 1.5 million more images that are distributed in Spain. Alan Meckler, the chairman and CEO of Jupitermedia, said that the deal will help his company grow its presence in Spain, just as it has in France and Germany over the past year.
