o Penn. Judge Says File-Swappers Targeted by RIAA Must Be Advised of Rights

Philadelphia -- A federal court in Pennsylvania has ruled that Internet service providers in the state who are served "John Doe" lawsuits by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), asking for the identities of subscribers accused of copyright infringement, must first provide these subscribers detailed notices on the subpoenas, including information on their rights and how they can contest them. U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe ruled on Oct. 12 that ISPs must provide information, including a list of attorneys, to their subscribers targeted by the RIAA. "Receiving notice from your ISP that you are being sued by the record companies is a terrifying experience for the grandmas, students, and working mothers who have been caught up in the RIAA's lawsuit crusade," said Electronic Frontier Foundation legal director Cindy Cohn. "By requiring ISPs to include basic information such as the right to challenge lawsuits and where to go for help, the court took a big step toward helping people understand their options." Groups including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Public Citizen and the ACLU filed briefs in the case supporting the judge's decision. While the ruling only applies to ISPs in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Public Citizen attorney Paul Levy noted, "We can only hope that judges throughout the country will follow this example."

o RIAA Sues Another 750 Alleged Song-Swappers for Copyright Infringement

Washington -- The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced on Friday that it has sued another 750 alleged music file-swappers for copyright infringement, including 25 users from 13 different universities. In addition to the 750 "John Doe" lawsuits filed to obtain file-swappers' identities from their Internet service providers, the RIAA said it filed 213 separate lawsuits against defendants in 34 states and the District of Columbia identified through previous "John Doe" suits who declined or ignored an RIAA settlement offer. The RIAA has now sued a total of over 6,100 individual file-swappers for copyright infringement. The students targeted by the RIAA on Friday include some studying at Iowa State University, Ohio State University, Grinnell College and Indiana State University. "In order for legitimate services to continue their growth, we cannot ignore those who take and distribute music illegally," said RIAA president Cary Sherman. "There must be consequences to breaking the law or illegal downloading will cripple the music community's ability to support itself now or invest in the future." The RIAA also announced this week that CD shipments increased 10.2% in the first half of 2004.

o L.A. Times: Sony BMG, Grokster Partner on Mashboxx Song Download Service

Los Angeles -- The Los Angeles Times reported on Friday that, in a major departure from the industry's legal campaign against peer-to-peer file-sharing technology, major record label Sony BMG is cooperating with Grokster -- a file-sharing company it also sued for copyright infringement -- on a new venture called Mashboxx that will offer its songs as paid downloads. Mashboxx is being headed by former Grokster president Wayne Rosso, who resigned last year to head Spanish P2P firm Blubster. While it's unclear if Mashboxx will be a true peer-to-peer service, people familiar with the venture told The Times that it would likely only offers users who search for a Sony BMG track the ability to download an authorized version of the song, such as a free low-quality version that included an offer to buy the CD-quality version. The service will also likely use technology developed by Snocap, a start-up founded by Napster founder Shawn Fanning. The Times reported that impetus for the Mashboxx project came from Sony BMG CEO Andrew Lack, who has urged other labels to support the venture.

o Report: Cell Phone Games to Generate $1 Billion This Year

London -- Mobile game downloads will generate over $1 billion worldwide this year, a figure that will grow to $6.4 billion by 2010, according to a report from U.K.-based market research firm Screen Digest. Japan and Korea are currently responsible for nearly 80% of the market, where game download rates per handset are dramatically higher and average revenues per user were four times higher last year than in the U.S. and Western Europe. The report found 49 different game services offered in Europe, compared to just nine in the U.S., although U.S. cell phone users have on average more than twice the number of games available to them (203 games) than Europeans. The firm said a move towards flat-rate pricing for games, which is prevalent in Japan, would help fuel growth for the industry elsewhere, where customers are often charged for each game download as well as for the data airtime required to download the game. "It's barely two years since the first games download services were established in Europe, but now availability is almost ubiquitous and some operators offer more than 200 titles to their subscribers," said Screen Digest analyst Tim Green. "As the networks make their payment models more flexible and games developers apply more creativity to their designs, I'm sure we will see significant growth in the future."

o N.Y. Times: MarketWatch Could be Sold for Up to $400 Million

San Francisco -- The New York Times reports that MarketWatch, a San Francisco-based provider of online business news, financial information and analytical tools, could be sold for as much as $400 million. According to the report, the company, which operates the popular CBS MarketWatch.com site, has been actively seeking bids, though company officials declined to comment. Possible suitors may include The New York Times, the CBS unit of Viacom and Dow Jones & Co, publisher of The Wall Street Journal.

o Report: World Market for Wireless Adult Content to Hit $1 Billion in 2008

Boston -- The market for wireless adult entertainment content is expected to reach $90 million in the U.S. and $1 billion globally by 2008, according to a report this week from Boston-based market research firm Yankee Group. The firm said provider PhoneBox Entertainment receives more than 75 million hits per week at its PhoneErotica.com site. That company says less than 5% of users will enter credit cards to access premium content, while over 30% will allow direct billing to their wireless accounts. The report notes that most European wireless adult content consumers locate content by sending a premium SMS message, rather than browsing to a WAP site, as the network operator thus distances itself from being the actual provider of the content, acting instead as the delivery mechanism. Yankee Group said that if U.S. operators can develop a mechanism for protecting minors like the one used by Vodafone UK, they can safely profit from the opportunity.

o U.K. Online Casino Sportingbet to Acquire Paradise Poker for $298 Million

London -- Sportingbet, a U.K.-based online casino, announced this week that it has agreed to acquire Paradise Poker, a U.K.-based Internet poker website, for $298 million. The acquisition stands to make Sportingbet the largest online betting firm in the world. "This more than doubles us in size," said Sportingbet CEO Nigel Payne. "If we believed we were number one before, then we certainly are today." Sportingbet said that it currently has more than 1.2 million customers, a 30% increase compared to July last year. Sports bets increased by 36% over the same period, the company said. Paradise Poker, which boasts more than 97,000 active players, is currently the third-largest poker website in the world.

(Washington) The Washington Post this week reported on new radio audience measurement technology being installed in the D.C. area that logs which FM radio station passing cars are tuned into by picking up faint electronic signals emitted from their antennas. Developed by Phoenix-based MobilTrak, the utility pole-mounted devices are designed to give advertisers an idea of which stations consumers are listening to in certain geographic areas, such as those nearby their businesses. "It's about giving marketers real-time data about what's happening in certain areas at certain times so they don't waste their advertising dollars," MobilTrak managing partner C. David Boice told The Post.
