o Report: SonyBMG Copy-Protection Reports CDs Played, Hampers All CD Ripping

San Francisco - CNET News.com reported on Wednesday that antivirus firms are preparing to offer tools designed to identify and remove CD copy-protection software installed on PCs when users play certain SonyBMG music CDs. Several antivirus firms have deemed the "rootkit," a tool often used by virus writers to cloak their malicious software deep within a computer's operating system, to be a threat because virus writers can use SonyBMG's antipiracy tool to hide their own malicious software on users' PCs. Antivirus firm Computer Associates told News.com it found further cause for concern with the controversial SonyBMG "rootkit." In addition to making it more difficult to rip SonyBMG CD tracks into unprotected digital files, the software makes itself a default media player, reports back a user's Internet address -- and which CDs are played on the computer -- and also inhibits the ripping of non-copy-protected CDs. "It will effectively insert pseudo-random noise into a file so that it becomes less listenable," Computer Associates vice president Sam Curry told News.com. "What's disturbing about this is the lack of notice, the lack of consent, and the lack of an easy removal tool." Both SonyBMG and the creator of the antipiracy tool, First 4 Internet, have posted patches that identify the software, but uninstalling the software currently requires a user to contact the label's customer service department for instructions.

o Report: 82% of U.S. Households Will Have HDTV Sets by 2010

Monterey, Calif. - Some 377 million HDTV sets will be sold to U.S. consumers by 2015, and 82% of all U.S. households will have one by 2010, according to a report from market research firm Kagan Research. The firm projects that 9.1 million HDTV sets will be sold in the U.S. in 2005, up from 5.6 million in 2004 and 3.4 million in 2003. "At the end of 2004, there were 11 million HD households; each owning an average of 1.2 HD sets," said Kagan Research associate Patrick Johnson. "We project the average price of an HD set will decline some 38% by 2010, reducing the average price to $1,139. Rapid price declines, coupled with increasing levels of HD programming will drive the number of HD households to nearly 97 million in 2010, penetrating more than 82% of total television households." Kagan also estimated that subscribers to cable HDTV programming services will grow from 3.8 million in 2005 to over 30 million by 2010, when satellite HDTV subscribers will number 18 million.

o BBC to Begin Offering TV Programs in High-Definition

London - The BBC plans to test high-definition delivery of its programs to cable and satellite TV providers, as well as on digital terrestrial TV, in the U.K. in mid-2006. The HDTV trial is expected to last a year; the BBC said it plans to offer all of its programming in HDTV format by 2010, when the U.K. digital TV transition will be complete. The BBC added that it hopes to offer live sporting events, such as the World Cup, in high-definition as part of the trial. "Our promise to our license payers is to give them the highest quality television, so the time is right for the BBC to get involved in high definition," BBC director of television Jana Bennett told BBC News Online. "High definition may take time to grow in Britain, but as with the other technologies we helped to build, the BBC wants to prepare now to be able to deliver the benefits of HDTV to all its license payers in the long term."

o Korean File-Sharing Service Soribada Shuts Down, Following Court Order

Seoul, South Korea-- Korean digital music service Soribada has shut down its peer-to-peer file-sharing feature, after being ordered to do so in a ruling by the Seoul Central District Court, the Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo reported. Soribada, which claims 22 million users, was sued by the Korean Association of Phonogram Producers, which said it may also file separate litigation claiming damages from file-sharing on Soribada.

o Wireless Industry Offers Tools to Restrict Minors' Access to Adult Content

Washington - A U.S. wireless industry trade group on Wednesday announced that it is implementing voluntary measures aimed at preventing access to adult wireless content by minors. The Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) said that wireless subscribers under the age of 18 will need a parent's permission before access is granted to sexually explicit, violent or gambling-related content, and that parents will be able to install filters on their children's cell phones to block access to such content, or block mobile Internet access entirely. "Parents must ultimately decide what materials are most suitable for their children, and wireless carriers participating in this important measure are committed to providing parents with the necessary tools to do so," said CTIA president and CEO Steve Largent. Market research firm IDC reported that there were 21 million U.S. wireless subscribers 19 and under at the end of 2004.

o U.K. Consumers Join Legal Battle over iPod Nano Players

London - Consumers from the U.K. have joined a legal battle against Apple over allegedly defective screens on iPod Nano music players. Apple has received numerous complaints about scratched or broken screens, and while the company admitted to a number of flaws with a small batch of Nanos, it denied that the player was more likely to scratch than other iPods. A similar case was filed against Apple in the U.S. last month. Both lawsuits claim that the problems with the Nano screen are due to a design flaw. What's more, the lawsuits argue that Apple was aware of the problem, but chose to ignore it in order to rush the players to market.

San Francisco -
CNET News.com recently reported on a video game therapy technique that some parents say is helping treat their children's attention deficit disorder (ADD). The Smart BrainGames system hooks up to a PlayStation 2, and monitors brain waves through sensors in a helmet worn while gaming. The system measures a child's attention and stress levels, and provides, for instance, higher top speeds in a racing game when attention is high and stress is low, and lower top speeds or poorer handling when a child is less focused. The $550 Smart BrainGames system was developed by CyberLearning, which began working with pediatricians and psychologists in 2004 to test its effectiveness on children with ADD.
