o AOL Acquires Digital Music Retailer MusicNow from Circuit City

Dulles, Va. - Looking to upgrade its digital music offerings, America Online said on Thursday that it has acquired online music subscription service MusicNow from electronics retailer Circuit City. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. AOL said that it plans to gradually migrate its current MusicNet@AOL subscribers to the new service, which it is calling "AOL Music Now." The service, which offers more than 1 million songs from the four major record labels and several other independent labels, will allow visitors to browse and purchase music, either a la carte for $0.99 a song or through subscriptions ranging from $9.95-$14.95 a month. Founded as "FullAudio" in 1999 and purchased by Circuit City in 2004, MusicNow will continue to be based in Chicago, operating as a stand-alone unit of AOL Premium Services. AOL plans to retain the company's 40 employees, including its president, Gary Cohen. The acquisition is AOL's fourth this year.

o Google Launches Online Library of Public Domain Works

Mountain View, Calif. - Google on Thursday announced the availability of the first large collection of public domain books on its Google Print program, which aims to digitize the world's printed works and make them searchable in an online index. Works now available from Google Print include those whose copyrights have expired, such as U.S. Civil War history books, government documents, and the writings of author Henry James -- which users may now search and browse every page online. Google partnered with the New York Public Library and university libraries at Harvard, Michigan, Oxford and Stanford to provide public domain works for scanning. "Today we welcome the world to our library," said University of Michigan president Mary Sue Coleman. "As educators we are inspired by the possibility of sharing these important works with people around the globe. Google's digital library project has angered many authors and publishers, however, who say the company should not be profiting from their works used without permission. The Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers have separately filed suit against the company for copyright infringement.

o Samsung: No iTunes Rival Service in the Works

Seoul, South Korea - In clarifying a statement made earlier this week that it said was misunderstood, and reported incorrectly by Reuters and others, Korean consumer electronics firm Samsung said on Thursday that it does not plan to launch a digital music service to compete with Apple's iTunes. The company did say it will offer technical support to other music services, like Napster, in return for marketing its own line of digital music players. "We're not interested in the online music services market but we plan to offer technical support to our partners to make their services easier and fancier and that would increase our hardware sales," said Choi Gee-sung, the president of Samsung's digital media division. Samsung hopes to triple its MP3 player sales this year, to 5 million units.

o Elevation Partners Invests $300 Million in Merger of BioWare, Pandemic Studios

Menlo Park, Calif. - Elevation Partners, a venture capital firm whose principals include U2's Bono and former Electronic Arts president John Riccitiello, announced on Thursday that it has invested $300 million into the merger of two independent game developers, BioWare and Pandemic Studios. The deal will create a new holding company, BioWare/Pandemic Studios, which will be jointly owned by the three companies and headed by Elevation Partners managing director John Riccitiello. Based in Los Angeles and Brisbane, Australia, Pandemic will continue to develop action/adventure titles like "Full Spectrum Warrior," "Star Wars Battlefront" and "Destroy All Humans," while Edmonton, Canada-based BioWare will maintain focus on roleplaying titles such as "Baldur's Gate" and "Neverwinter Nights." "Great video games don't roll off the assembly line -- they are an art form, as lovingly crafted as a film, musical score, or novel," said BioWare CEO Greg Zeschuk. "Fans are the real winners in this deal, because we will now have the resources and creative discretion to make the right decisions for our products." Immediate plans for the funds are to utilize them in the development of titles for next-generation game consoles.

o Social Networking Site MySpace.com Launches Record Label

Santa Monica, Calif. - MySpace.com, the social networking site with 35 million members recently acquired by News Corporation, announced on Thursday the launch of its own record label, an imprint of Universal Music Group's Interscope Records. Some 550,000 band pages are among the user profiles on MySpace. where bands post songs and tour dates, while users can add bands as "friends" and communicate through blogs and message boards. Major label acts including Madonna, Coldplay and Nine Inch Nails have also used MySpace to promote new releases, often offering pre-release streaming samples. The first release on MySpace Records will be a compilation, "MySpace Records: Volume I," featuring tracks from Weezer, Fall Out Boy, AFI and Dashboard Confessional. Also featured on the compilation is Hollywood Undead, a Los Angeles-based band whose album will be the first proper release on the label, scheduled for the second quarter of 2006. "Radio has become less and less important...MySpace, by getting so huge, can truly move the needle in terms of musical tastes," MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe told Reuters, adding that he is currently talking to four additional bands about signing to the label.

New York - Viacom's CBS announced on Thursday that it has acquired CSTV Networks, a broadcaster and webcaster of college athletics, for $325 million.

o Report: Mobile Data Service Adoption Rises; Cost Remains Factor

Chicago - A global survey of 4,000 mobile phone users who subscribe to mobile data services found that over half now access the Internet monthly, and one-third download music to their phones, while mobile data costs are an obstacle to wider adoption, according to a report from management consulting firm A.T. Kearney. Thirty-three percent of users with multimedia phones said they downloaded music monthly, up from 21% in 2004, while 16% said they downloaded mobile games monthly. Seventeen percent of all users -- and 27% of those under 24 -- said they were interested in mobile TV. The survey also found that one-third of multimedia phone owners now use MMS to send pictures, photos and video clips monthly, a service that is used regularly by nearly half of all 19 to 24 year-olds. However, half of mobile users surveyed said they are not willing to pay more than $5 per month for a mobile data service; currently, U.S. mobile data services cost between $10 and $20 per month. "The growing penetration of new multimedia phones is the catalyst for mobile data adoption," said, A.T. Kearney vice president Mark Page. "There is a clear relationship between the average revenue per user and the age of the phone the customer uses. People who have recently replaced their handsets are more likely to be heavier users of data services."

o iMesh Legal P2P Service's Copyright Filter Falters

San Francisco - CNET News.com reported on Thursday that the newly re-launched iMesh, the first legal peer-to-peer file-sharing service in the U.S. with substantial support from major record labels, is allowing free downloads of some copyrighted works it shouldn't be in its first days of operation. Tracks from Led Zeppelin -- who have not licensed tracks to any digital services -- as well as Green Day, Franz Ferdinand, Black Eyed Peas and others are slipping through the filtering software from Audible Magic meant to screen out such tracks from iMesh users. "Given that we're in an early beta phase technology, issues are to be expected. These are isolated problems which we are diligently working on fixing," iMesh executive chairman Bob Summer told News.com.

o Washington Post: "Weighing Webcasters' Rights to Content"

Washington -
The Washington Post reported on Thursday on a dispute argument pitting broadcasters and webcasters, who are in favor of international treaties giving them 50-year copyrights on most any video they transmit, against digital rights advocates who say such laws will erode rights to works in the public domain. The treaties would give the broadcaster new rights to works they transmit, even if the work happens to be uncopyrighted or if the copyright has lapsed. "This new layer turns every distributor into yet another owner," James Love, head of the Consumer Project on Technology, told The Post. Broadcasters maintain that the new regulations would still allow users to make private copies of these broadcasts, but would not allow them to redistribute those copies for commercial profit.
