o Report: U.S. Broadband Use Trails
Other Nations; Rural, Minority Adoption Lags Washington -- The
number of Americans with high-speed Internet access doubled between
2001 and late 2003, to 20% of U.S. households, according to a
Commerce Department report conducted in September and released this
week. U.S. broadband adoption is still far outpaced by countries
including South Korea, Taiwan and Canada. "This is lousy," Harris
Miller, head of industry trade group the Information Technology
Association of America, told the Associated Press. "We're just not
keeping up with our competitors. We're not even keeping up with
countries we don't consider competitors. It's not acceptable." Rural
and minority U.S. residents were also below expectations for
broadband usage. One-in-seven black and less than one-in-eight
Hispanic households have broadband, and only 24.7% of rural
households reported a high-speed connection compared with 40.4% of
urban households. The report did find that Americans with high-speed
connections were more likely to be daily Internet users (66.1%) than
those with dial-up service (51.1%), and that broadband users engaged
in a larger variety of online activities, such as entertainment,
banking, commerce and information gathering.

o Congress
Creates Federal Copyright Enforcement Czar
Washington -- Congress has approved the creation of a federal
copyright enforcement czar, as part of the $388 billion omnibus
spending bill pushed through by lawmakers last weekend, according to
The Hollywood Reporter. Appointed by the president, the anti-piracy
czar will be charged with coordinating law enforcement in charge of
international efforts to curb piracy, and will oversee the National
Intellectual Property Law Enforcement Coordination Council (NIPLAC).
Congress also for the first time provided funding to NIPLAC, which
will get $2 million to protect U.S. intellectual property overseas
and organize IP law enforcement. THR said that proponents of the
idea, including Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) and Sen. Ted Stevens
(R-AK), had originally asked for $20 million for the agency. Critics
of the idea argued that monies could be better spent than to prop up
a for-profit industry. "I think the taxpayers would be surprised
that there's money being spent for copyright enforcement when
terrorists and criminals still roam the streets," Gigi Sohn,
president of the nonprofit fair-use advocacy group Public Knowledge,
told Reuters. "When every dollar is being counted for education,
health care and homeland security, it seems like a strange
priority."

o EMI: Digital
Music Sales Up 300% to $22.8 Million for First Half of 2004
London -- EMI, the world's third-largest record label, reported
that sales of digital music increased 300% in the first six months
of its fiscal year to $22.8 million, or just over 2% of the
company's $1.6 billion in total sales. The company credited the
recording industry's legal campaign against illegal downloading,
although during the period the market also saw the launch of Apple's
iTunes Stores in the U.K., France and Germany, and Napster's launch
in the U.K. "The legitimate digital music market continues to expand
rapidly and we remain confident that digital represents a key driver
for future industry growth," said EMI chairman Eric Nicolli.

o Napster,
Blockbuster Offer Combined Digital Music, Online DVD Rental Cards
Los Angeles -- Napster announced on Tuesday that it has partnered
with video rental giant Blockbuster to offer a "Digital Duo" card,
providing consumers with one month of digital music service and one
month of Blockbuster online DVD rentals for $20. The card will
provide unlimited access to Napster's on-demand streaming service
and two a la carte song downloads, as well as unlimited mail-order
DVD rentals with up to three titles out at one time, plus two free
in-store movie or game rentals per month. The companies said the
card provides a 32% savings off the retail value of the combined
services. During the initial launch period, the Digital Duo card
will only be available at electronics retailer RadioShack's 5,000
retail locations. A spokeswoman for Napster would not say whether
the cards will eventually be available at Blockbuster.

o U.K.
Retail Giant Dixons Decides to Stop Selling VCRs
London -- U.K.-based consumer electronics retail giant Dixons has
announced that it plans to stop selling VCRs before the holiday
season, because of the overwhelming popularity of DVD players.
Dixons said customers increasingly preferred portable and recordable
DVD and hard disk drive machines to video cassette recorders,
leading to company to shift its focus toward the "next generation"
of home entertainment systems. "The [VCR] has been with us for a
generation, and many of us have grown up with the joys, and
occasional frustrations, of tape-based recording," said Dixons
marketing director John Mewett. "We are now entering the digital
age, and the new DVD technology available represents a step change
in picture quality and convenience." Dixons said it currently sells
about 40 DVDs for every VCR it sells.

entertainment firms, announced on Tuesday that it has partnered with
VeriSign, a provider of e-commerce security software, to create an
on-demand content authentication and authorization service to
support the secure delivery of music, movies, games and other media
over the Internet. The companies say they have already demonstrated
the service with entertainment, telecom and technology firms and

Mountain View, Calif.-based VeriSign are also developing proprietary

o CD
Copy-Protection Marketer QuietTiger Secures $5 Million Credit Line
Phoenix, Ariz. -- QuietTiger, a sales and marketing company
partnered with CD and DVD copy-protection firm SunnComm, announced
on Tuesday that it has secured a $5 million equity line of credit
from Double U Master Fund. The credit line will allow the company to
sell up to $5 million of common stock, at a price of no less than
$0.25 per share. SunnComm's CD copy-protection technology, which
competes with rival Macrovision's system, has been employed by major
label BMG and others on over 6 million commercially released CDs,
including an album from Velvet Revolver which reached #1 on the
Billboard charts. "This equity line will ensure that QuietTiger has
the resources to meet its ongoing financial commitments to SunnComm
relating to the terms of the exclusive marketing agreement for the
MediaMax CD copy management suite of products," said QuietTiger CEO
William H. Whitmore. "Having access to this capital will allow us to
fulfill our current obligations as we continue to increase the
revenue streams for both companies and rollout the technology
worldwide."

has partnered with London-based digital rights management firm
Blueprint to jointly offer a new service that offers hosting,
management and distribution of digital music and related content

o Survey:
Holiday Shoppers Shifting More Money to Online Purchases
New York -- A new survey of online consumers by online ad firm
DoubleClick reveals that consumers anticipate that their overall
holiday spending will be consistent with last year, but plan spend a
greater percentage online. Reasons for the shift most often cited
included ease of purchase and discovery of new products. The survey
included 613 respondents who were surveyed as they left e-commerce
sites during the first week of November. About 64% planned to shop
online, which represents a 15% increase over last year. Also, 27%
plan to shift at least 15% of their total holiday shopping budget
online, the survey found.

(Los Angeles) The Los Angeles Times recently reported that many
of the digital effects production companies behind the 20
highest-grossing films of all time, including "Titanic" and "Star
Wars," believe they should be compensated on a par with the
highest-paid actors, as they believe their contributions to those
films' successes are just as important. These companies say the
solution may be to outsource digital effects production overseas.
"You'd think we'd be rolling in dough, but this is an industry with
zero margins," Scott Ross, CEO of effects house Digital Domain
("Titanic," "Armageddon"), told The Times. "What happened to IT will
happen to us." Lucasfilm ("Star Wars") recently announced it will
open a digital animation studio in Singapore, and Digital Domain is
eyeing India. "If you have a $100-million movie with $25 million in
visual effects, you could probably do it for $15 million in India,"
added Ross.
