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.

70% of Ringtones Purchased by Women
San Francisco - Nearly 70% of all ringtones downloaded are

Telephia, a provider of performance measurement information to the
mobile industry. During the most recent quarter, 69% of mobile
ringtones were bought by women, compared with just 31% by men.

Pussycat Dolls, "Let Me Hold You" by Bow Wow & Omarion, "Just A Lil'

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.

"Attention Deficit Disorder? Try Video Games"
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.
