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.

The new funds will be used to purchase and develop new resources, servers, tools and features for the online world.

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.

Salt Lake City, Utah -- Online retailer Overstock.com announced on Thursday that it has closed its online auction for the historic 700th home run ball of San Francisco Giants left fielder Barry Bonds, with a closing bid of $804,129 from an undisclosed buyer.

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.
