o Financier Icahn Warns Time
Warner, Parsons About Potential AOL Deal
Dulles, Va. - As media giant Time Warner continues to hash
out the details of a potential advertising partnership between its
America Online unit and Microsoft, billionaire financing Carl Icahn
has issued a warning to the company about agreeing to any deals that
could get in the way of a future spin-off or sale. In a statement,
Icahn, who leads a group of hedge funds that hold a 3% stake in Time
Warner, said that it would be "another egregious error in judgment"
if the company's board approved a deal that would "make it more
difficult to realize value at AOL or Time Warner." He also warned
that if Time Warner Chairman and CEO Dick Parsons takes steps to
lessen the value of his company in an effort to make it a less
attractive takeover target, "such action would be a breach of the
fiduciary duty of loyalty" and he would "hold Mr. Parsons and the
board personally liable for the inevitable damage to shareholder
value." Icahn is in the early stages of a proxy fight to gain
control of Time Warner's board.

o Report:
World Mobile Games Market Doubles in 2005 to Surpass $2 Billion
London - The world mobile games market doubled in value
over the past year to surpass $2 billion in revenues, and will be
worth $8.3 billion by 2010, according to a report from market
research firm Screen Digest. The U.S. and European mobile games
markets are beginning to erode the positions of their Asian
counterparts, now making up 52% of the total market. The report
notes that major game publishers have largely faltered in the space,
as U.S.-based Jamdat Mobile and France-based Gameloft together
account for 30% of mobile game revenues in the U.S. and Europe,
while only THQ Wireless has emerged among major publishers in the
mobile games space. The report also noted that over $500 million has
been invested in the mobile games market since 1999.

o U.K.
Songwriters Seek Larger Royalties from Digital Music Services
London - U.K. songwriters have petitioned for an increase
in royalties for online music services, from about 5 pence per
download to between 7-9 pence per download. The proposal from the
Musicians Alliance is not supported by the British Phonographic
Industry (BPI), which represents record labels and believes the
royalty should shrink to 2.5 pence per download. The BPI argues that
5 pence is equivalent to 12% of revenues from online music, while
songwriters earn 6.5% on CDs and up to 5.25% of radio ad revenue,
adding that songwriters have not had to invest in the creation of
digital music services. The Music Alliance responded by saying that
record labels should pay for the royalty increase from the 40-50
pence they make on each download -- due to the savings they see from
digital distribution. Both sides have filed claims with the U.K.
Copyright Tribunal, which will likely hold a hearing on the matter
in the fall of 2006.

o Report:
Theater-to-DVD Release Window Shrinks Again in 2005
Monterey, Calif. - Due to piracy worries, the average time
between a movie's release in theaters and its DVD release in stores
shrunk by 15 days this year, from 144 days in 2004 to 129 days in
2005, according to a report from Kagan Research. The firm believes
the window will not be reduced much further. "If it shrinks
significantly more, it would encroach on the box office," said Kagan
Research analyst Wade Holden. "And that would be counter-productive
to the distributors' total economic returns because what's lost in
theatrical probably won't be fully made up in home video." The
report found that films that made less than $30 million at the box
office went to video in an average of 115 days, while films that
grossed over $30 million averaged 132 days. The staggered release
window system has long been utilized by movie studios to maximize
profits, although the report comes as director Steven Soderbergh
("Traffic," "Ocean's 11") prepares to release his upcoming film
"Bubble" simultaneously in theaters, on DVD and on a high-definition
cable TV network.

o Publishing
Rights to Bankrupt Acclaim's Video Games Sold at Auction
Plainview, N.Y. - The publishing rights to more than 200
video games once owned by now-defunct publisher Acclaim are
currently up for sale, in an online auction hosted by the trustees
charged with liquidating the company's assets. Current bids range
from $5,000 for titles like "Double Dragon" and "Alias," to $25,000
for "Wizards & Warriors," $40,000 for the "Re-Volt" series and
$75,000 for a suite of "Extreme G" racing titles. Other games up for
sale also include a number of titles based on lucrative licenses for
"The Simpsons" and "South Park," although these franchises have
since been sold to other developers, and further royalties may be
due the original developers by anyone buying the publishing rights
to the older titles.

o MTV Gets Film
Rights to Atari/Marc Ecko Graffiti Culture Video Game
New York - Viacom's MTV Films announced on Thursday that
it has acquired the motion picture rights to the Atari video game,
"Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure." Slated for
release in February, the urban graffiti culture video game is a
collaboration with urban fashion designer Marc Ecko, and features
voice talent from Sean "Diddy" Combs, Rosario Dawson, Talib Kweli,
Brittany Murphy and others. Ecko will serve as a producer on the
film adaptation, along with MTV Films' Gregg Goldin; Paramount
Pictures will distribute the film. "When I first began working on
'Getting Up' seven years ago, I wanted to create a storyline that
provided a rare look inside of one of the most influential, yet
often overlooked, artistic movements in recent history," said Ecko.
"Today, graffiti is a global cultural phenomenon and few understand
its impact better than MTV, pioneers in its use as a motion graphics
tool nearly two decades ago."
