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.

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. Los Angeles-based Gemstar acquired
SkyMall, which publishes an in-flight shopping catalog, in 2001. "Gemstar-TV
Guide is focused on building upon the company's core assets
including the TV Guide brand, our guidance technology and our
leading entertainment and editorial data and content," said Gemstar
CEO Rich Battista. "SkyMall is not core to the company's plans going
forward, as we pursue our new cross-platform guidance strategy."

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."

Sunnyvale, Calif. - With the final draw for the event
