o "Shrek" Producer DreamWorks
Animation Raises $812 Million in IPO
Glendale, Calif. -- DreamWorks Animation, the computer-animated
film production unit behind the successful "Shrek" franchise, raised
$812 million in its initial public offering of shares (IPO)
yesterday, and saw its stock rise nearly 40% in its first day of
trading on Thursday. The company has estimated a share price of
between $23 and $25, but the IPO price outperformed at $28 and
climbed to close at $38.75 today. DreamWorks Animation will be
headed by CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, while David Geffen will sit on the
board and former Pepsi chairman and CEO Roger Enrico will serve as
chairman. The company will use funds from its IPO to pay off debt
and fund future productions, which in 2005 will include "Madagascar"
and "Wallace & Gromit."

o Report:
European Song Download Market to Reach $5.7 Billion by 2009
Paris -- According to a new report by research and analysis firm
Generator, the digital song download market in Europe will reach
$5.7 billion (4.5 billion euro) by 2009, a figure that would account
for about 40% of the total recorded music market. The report also
predicted that the mobile channel will soon figure largely as a
sales vehicle for digital music. "Depending on how the mobile
operators play their hand, European consumers could spend as much as
$777 million (610 million euro) on song downloads during 2009, about
13.5% of the total, and ringtones will be on top of that," said
Generator research director Andrew Sheehy. To encourage the
successful use of the mobile channel, however, Europe will first
need to change its usage-based mobile data tariffs and adopt
flat-rate 3G tariffs similar to those introduced in Japan by DoCoMo
and KDDI, Sheey said.

o Yahoo Unveils
Mobile Search Service
Sunnyvale, Calif. -- Looking to expand its wireless Internet
offerings, Yahoo has unveiled a new search service specifically
designed for mobile users. The service, which launched Wednesday on
Yahoo's wireless Internet portal on several major carriers across
the U.S., allows mobile users to search for local information,
images and Web resources on an array of mobile devices. Users will
have access to standard search engine features, as well as business
listings with phone numbers and maps, professional and community
generated ratings, thumbnails of more than a billion images, a
search shortcuts page enabling quick access to information and a
feature that allows users to place phone calls from the search
results page. The search engine is just the latest Yahoo stable to
go mobile over the past year. Others have included the company's
instant messenger and photo service.

valued at over $1 million each month. The new funds will be used to
purchase and develop new resources, servers, tools and features for
the online world.

o Ronning
Lipset Radio to Sell Audio Ads for MSN
New York -- Ronning Lipset Radio, a recently launched online radio
ad sales agency, announced that it has signed an agreement to sell
30- and 60-second audio ads on Microsoft's MSN Entertainment and
Windowsmedia.com. The sites will join existing affiliates including
the AOL Radio Network, Yahoo's LAUNCHcast and Live365 to combine
their online radio audiences into a single media entity. "It is a
huge event that these four players have come together under our
company to go to market," said Ronning Lipset managing partner Andy
Lipset. "Close to 10% of the total U.S. population, or 19 million
people, listen to online radio every week according to Arbitron/Edison.
Prior to this network being formed, it was impractical for
traditional radio advertisers to look at this medium."

o Bonds 700th
Home Run Ball Draws $804,129 in Overstock.com Auction
Salt Lake City, Utah -- Online retailer Overstock.com announced
on Thursday that it has closed its online auction for the historic

Bonds, with a closing bid of $804,129 from an undisclosed buyer. The
ball put Bonds into a league of other 700 home run hitters that
includes Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth. Steven Williams, a 26 year-old
mortgage broker from Pacifica, Calif., recovered the ball on Sept.
17 at SBC Park, and plans to donate a portion of his auction

o BSA Launches
Anti-Piracy Campaign Targeting College Students
Washington -- Attempting to spread its message to those who
haven't yet entered the corporate arena, the D.C.-based Business
Software Alliance, an anti-piracy group whose members include Apple,
Adobe, Macromedia, McAfee, Microsoft and Symantec, on Thursday
launched a new awareness program targeting college students. The
program, called "Define the Line," is designed to educate students
about the importance of being "good cyber citizens and respecting
the intellectual property of copyrighted works online." It also
encourages students to use only legal software and to understand the
impact of software theft. The BSA said that software piracy is
becoming a growing problem at higher education institutions.
According to a BSA-Ipsos study, only 32% of students are regularly
paying for software.

marks. The new coating will be used on upcoming high-capacity Blu-ray
DVD discs being developed by Sony, Philips, Panasonic and others
