o Judge Tosses Illinois Law Banning Sale of Violent Video Games to Minors

Springfield, Ill. - A federal judge has tossed out Illinois' recently enacted ban on the sale of violent and sexually explicit video games to minors. U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Kennelly said in his ruling on Friday that the state came "nowhere near" proving that the law wasn't an unconstitutional restraint on First Amendment free speech protections. Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who backed the legislation, said he intends to appeal the ruling, as well as aid efforts to "stigmatize" retailers who sell violent games to minors. "This battle is not over," said Blagojevich. "Parents should be able to expect that their kids will not have access to excessively violent and sexually explicit video games without their permission." Illinois retailers praised Judge Kennelly's ruling. "It's unfortunate that the state of Illinois spent taxpayer money defending this statute. This is precisely what we told them would happen," said David Vite, president of the Illinois Retail Merchants Association. Similar laws have been declared unconstitutional in the state of Washington, the city of Indianapolis, and St. Louis County. The video game industry has also filed suit to stop two other recently passed statewide video game sales bans in California and Michigan from taking effect. Last week, Senators Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) floated legislation that would create a federal ban on the sale of violent video games to minors, and plan to introduce it when Congress reconvenes.

o RealNetworks Launches Web-based Version of Rhapsody Music Service

Seattle - RealNetworks announced on Monday that it has launched a Web-based version of its Rhapsody digital music subscription service, allowing users to stream songs to their PCs without having to first download the company's PC jukebox application. The Web-based Rhapsody will allow users to stream 25 songs per month for free, or an unlimited number for $9.99 per month. "If it turns out the vast majority decide they want to listen for free that's great because the Internet advertising market is doing pretty well, too," RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser told the Associated Press. To be able to download songs, subscribers must still download the company's PC jukebox application. The company also launched a Web services initiative, enabling third party websites to link directly to full-length songs offered for free streaming on Rhapsody.com, as well access RSS feeds of music-related editorial content offered on the site. Glaser added that the service hopes to enable third-party sites to stream Rhapsody songs directly from their own sites in the first half of next year.

o U.K. Indie Label Group Offers Joint Music Podcasting License

London - The Association of Independent Music (AIM), a U.K. trade group of independent record labels, announced on Monday that it has launched a trial of a global music podcasting license, which grants rights for copyrighted songs to be included in downloadable MP3 podcasts. So far, the tangled rights associated with recorded music have meant that mostly unsigned artists have allowed songs to be included in podcasts -- the majority of which are currently talk programs. The AIM podcast license will include only songs approved by individual labels, and will require that podcasters talk over, or provide station ID during the first and last ten seconds of each song. Podcasters will also be required to provide usage information back to AIM, such as the total number of podcast downloads and any price charged. "Music from AIM's member labels will now be available to podcasters without the fear of operating illegally," said AIM chairman and CEO Alison Wenham. "We believe there will be huge global demand for the AIM podcast license." AIM's 900 member labels include Beggars Group, V2, Nettwerk and Ninja Tune.

o Gemstar-TV Guide Unloads SkyMall Unit for $52 Million

Los Angeles - Gemstar-TV Guide International, a provider of electronic program guides for digital TV services and the publisher of TV Guide magazine, announced on Monday that it has sold its SkyMall business for $52 million, to a private equity group led by Spire Capital Partners.

o Developer Sues Electronic Arts Over Feature in "Madden NFL 06"

Redwood City, Calif. - Video game publisher Electronic Arts has been sued by an independent game developer, who claims the company stole a game idea of his and incorporated it into its "Madden NFL 06" game, Reuters reported. Game developer Pernell Harris, who owns the development studio Virtual Jam, says that he met with EA in late 2003 and pitched his idea for a game -- "Heart of a Champion" -- where players control every aspect of an athlete's career, from high school through professional play. Harris, who is seeking unspecified damages, alleges that EA breached a confidentiality agreement and an "implied in fact" contract when it included similar features in "Madden NFL 2006."

o Yahoo Teams with FIFA to Re-Launch Official 2006 World Cup Site

Sunnyvale, Calif. - With the final draw for the event scheduled for Friday, Yahoo said that it has teamed with FIFA, the world governing body of soccer, to re-launch FIFAworldcup.com, the official site of the 2006 World Cup in Germany. The site will provide coverage of both Friday's draw and the tournament's 64 matches, as well as vintage video highlights and information about Germany and the specific host cities.
