o Senators Want Federal Ban on
Sale of Mature-Rated Video Games to Minors
Washington - Senators Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Joe
Lieberman (D-Conn.) announced on Wednesday that they plan to
introduce legislation that would outlaw the sale of "Mature"-rated
video games to minors nationwide. The "Family Entertainment
Protection Act" also calls for a Federal Trade Commission
investigation into "misleading" game ratings; an annual analysis of
the ratings system; the authority for consumers to register
complaints; and annual sting operations on retailers to determine
compliance. "I have developed legislation that will empower parents
by making sure their kids can't walk into a store and buy a video
game that has graphic, violent and pornographic content," said
Senator Clinton, who said impetus for the legislation came from the
recent "Grand Theft Auto" "Hot Coffee" sex mini-game scandal, and a
report issued on Wednesday by the National Institute on Media and
the Family that found minors were able to purchase Mature-rated
games 42% of the time. However, such bans on the sale of video games
have been ruled unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds three
times; similar bans recently enacted in California, Illinois and
Michigan are also the target of game industry lawsuits. Hal Halpin,
president of the Interactive Entertainment Merchants Association, a
trade group of video game retailers, said in a statement that his
group had "committed voluntarily to a self-regulatory enforcement
system substantially similar to the motion picture business, which
the very same legislators hold up as the 'Gold Standard'." Senator
Clinton said she plans to introduce the bill when the Senate
reconvenes in two weeks.

o "Cyber
Monday" Traffic to Retail Sites Beats "Black Friday" Figures
New York - About 27.7 million U.S. Internet users visited
retail web sites on "Cyber" Monday, eclipsing the traffic those
sites saw on the previous "Black" Friday by 15%, according to new
figures released by Nielsen/NetRatings. "'Cyber Monday' brought a
surge of traffic to many online retailers as shoppers returned to
work following the holiday weekend ready to tackle their holiday
gift lists," said Heather Dougherty, a senior retail analyst for
Nielsen/NetRatings. The firm said that shoppers were enticed to the
sites by steep discounts on merchandise and free shipping offers.
The top five online shopping destinations on Monday included eBay,
Amazon, Wal-Mart, Target and Overstock.com.

o Intel "Viiv"
Technology to Facilitate Media Downloads to PCs, Portable Devices
Santa Clara, Calif. - Chipmaker Intel announced on
Wednesday that it is working with over 40 content companies to
provide support for its Viiv digital home technology, which it says
will facilitate the download of music, movies, games and other
content to Viiv-enabled PCs, portable devices and home media
networks. The Intel Viiv technology, set for release in the first
quarter of 2006, will be embedded in PCs, laptops, portable media
players, digital TVs, DVD players and other devices. In the second
half of 2006, Intel said that content providers including British
Sky Broadcasting, Movielink, TiVo, Loudeye, Napster, VirginMega,
Capcom, Square Enix and Ubisoft will begin utilizing Intel software
that allows their content to be shared across home networks. Intel
will provide engineering support, specifications and verification
tools to content owners, content distributors, portals, software
application developers and device vendors to help deliver
Internet-based content services and software applications that are
tested and verified to work with an Intel Viiv technology-based PC.

o Microsoft, MP3
Player Makers Seek Universal Docking Port
San Francisco - Microsoft has joined a working group
launched by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) designed to
create a common docking port for MP3 players, so that all would use
a common connection for third-party add-ons for cars and home
stereos. The group aims to provide the same ease of use offered for
Apple's iPod, which uses a single interface to connect any number of
add-on devices; currently, the myriad other MP3 players on the
market use different docking designs. "To safely enjoy today's
portable information and entertainment products in the car, you must
be able to securely connect the portable devices in the car through
cradles and other similar mechanisms," said CEA vice president Brian
Markwalter. "To accommodate this need, the portable device industry
has thus far invented a variety of proprietary docking connectors
that are not generally interoperable. This new working group will
create an industry standard docking connector specification that
could be adopted by any host or portable device manufacturer
regardless of the format or protocol that it supports."
Manufacturers that have joined the working group with Microsoft
include Belkin, Bose, Creative Technology, iRiver, Nokia and Sirius.

o U.S. Team
Sweeps Finals at World Cyber Games
New York - The team of video gamers representing the U.S.
has swept the finals at the World Cyber Games, a video game
tournament held last weekend in Singapore that awarded $2.5 million
in prizes. The U.S. team beat out 700 gamers representing 67
countries to capture the world champion title for the first time,
medaling in games including "Counter-Strike," "Halo 2" and "WarCraft
III: Frozen Throne." The U.S. "Team 3D," which repeated as gold
medalists in "Counter-Strike" for the second year, featured members
from New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Washington, D.C. and Des Moines,
Iowa. Organizers of the World Cyber Games, sponsored by Samsung,
said the event drew 55,000 live spectators, and an online audience
of 530,000 who watched the live webcast; the finals were also
broadcast on MTV. Next year's Grand Final is slated to be held in
Monza, Italy.

o U.K.-Based Games
Firm Mind Candy Raises $3 Million
London - Mind Candy, a U.K.-based alternate reality gaming
(ARG) firm, announced that it has raised approximately $3 million in
venture capital financing. Index Ventures, a venture capital firm
with offices in Switzerland and the U.K., led the investment round.
According to Mind Candy, ARG is a new type of game that combines
real-world events, websites, text messages, TV, print and a wide
range of other media to create an "immersive gaming experience".
Founded in 2003 and based primarily in London, Mind Candy
specializes in the design of a new style of puzzles -- "well beyond
the boring and lifeless ones that have dominated for years" -- that
weave together with ARGs and Cross Media Entertainment (XME).

o Report: France, U.K.
and Spain Lead Europe in Internet Usage
Paris - According to a new report by the European
Interactive Advertising Association (EIAA), the French -- followed
by the British and Spanish -- spend more hours on the Internet than
anyone else in Europe. The EIAA said the French spend on average
about 13 hours online every week, while Brits and Spaniards spend
about 11 hours online. Italians spend the least amount of time
online, surfing the Internet just eight hours a week (the European
average is currently about 10 hours and 15 minutes per week). The
numbers should come as little surprise, as broadband adoption across
Europe is booming, according to another report by research firm
Datamonitor. "The current situation in many markets can be best
described as one of rapidly increasing penetration, where broadband
has effectively entered its growth sweet spot," said Datamonitor's
Tim Gower. Gower claims that connection rates will level out at 60%
of European households.

N.Y. Times: Deadheads Protest Band's Closure of Free Downloads Site
New York - The New York Times reported on Wednesday on the
backlash from the decision of the Grateful Dead, which had always
allowed fans to record live shows and trade recordings freely with
others, to remove the ability to download live concert recordings
from a website called the Live Music Archive. The site's recordings
will now be available only in streaming format. Fans of the band,
known as Deadheads, have threatened to boycott the band's own
merchandise -- which now includes an online store where fans can
purchase downloads of many of the same recordings -- if the decision
is not reversed. "One-to-one community building, tape trading, is
something we've always been about," the band's spokesman, Dennis
McNally, told The Times. "The idea of a massive one-stop Web site
that does not build community is not what we had in mind…Our
conclusion has been that it doesn't represent Grateful Dead values."
