o MPAA Sues Oscar Nominated Movie File-Swappers

Los Angeles -- The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) on Thursday filed a third wave of lawsuits against individuals allegedly trading movies on Internet file-sharing networks, targeting in particular those swapping Oscar-nominated films that have seen their DVD screeners leaked online. The MPAA did not say how many individuals it sued with the current wave of litigation, but did mention that films including "Sideways" and "The Incredibles" were part of the investigations. The MPAA has launched two previous rounds of lawsuits against both individual movie file-swappers, and operators of servers in countries including France, Finland and Holland that host movies traded on peer-to-peer networks like eDonkey and BitTorrent. Recently, LokiTorrent, one such server site, agreed to shut down and pay the MPAA a $1 million settlement.

o Warner to Sell DVD Movies for $2.65 in China to Combat Pirate Market

New York -- Warner Bros. Entertainment has announced plans to release a slate of DVDs in China for as little as $2.65 each, in a bid to counter the rampant movie piracy in the region, The Wall Street Journal reported. Pirate DVD movies regularly sell in China for just $1. Initially, the roster of 125 discounted DVDs will not include any extras, but Warner plans to offer such features on later releases that will sell for about $3.38 in China. "It's pretty daunting going into that market to release a legitimate product," Warner Bros. chairman and CEO Barry Meyer told The Journal. "But we really think if we can get in there, we can be a part of the solution and not the problem."

o AOL Launches Local Search Service

Dulles, Va. -- Keeping pace with search rivals Yahoo and Google, America Online on Thursday launched a new local search service, available to both subscribers and non-subscribers. The service, known as AOL Local Search, aggregates content from AOL's Yellow Pages and CityGuide, as well as the company's Moviefone and MapQuest services and content from outside partners. "Local search is an important and growing category of search services given that 20% of all online look-ups are for something nearby," said Jim Riesenbach, the senior vice president of AOL search and directional media. The service is designed to help users find local businesses, events, movies and other information.

o Video Game Publisher Activision Announces 4-for-3 Stock Split

Santa Monica, Calif. -- Video game publisher Activision has announced that its board approved a four-for-three stock split, which will be paid in the form of a dividend to shareholders on March 22. Stockholders will receive one additional share of common stock for every three shares held on the record date. Following the transaction, Activision will have 200 million shares of outstanding stock. The Santa Monica, Calif.-based company also said it has called a shareholder meeting on April 4 to discuss approval of increasing the number of its shares from 225 million to 450 million. "By increasing the total number of authorized shares available for issuance, we will improve our long-term financial flexibility," said Activision chairman and CEO Robert Kotick.

o Robertson's MP3tunes Offers $399 Digital Music Recorder

San Diego -- MP3tunes, a digital music store start-up launched by MP3.com founder Michael Robertson, on Thursday introduced its MP3beamer, a digital music storage device and software that can be used to make songs universally accessible from computers, home stereos, PDAs and portable devices. The $399 hardware device is about one-third the size of a PC, features an 80GB hard drive capable of holding up to 1,400 CDs, and runs on the Linspire operating system -- developed by another Robertson venture of the same name. The device can stream music wirelessly to home stereos and entertainment centers with the purchase of a separate media receiver, as well as to any Internet-connected device via a Web and Java interface. In addition to the device, MP3beamer also offers a $69 software-only version that will enable the same music storage and remote playback on any PC. The MP3beamer supports Apple's iTunes software and its iPod players, in addition to various other players and WinCE and Palm-based PDAs. However, since MP3beamer is based on the MP3 format, it does not support songs purchased from the iTunes Store, Napster or other services that use protected formats. The MP3beamer "acts like your own personal digital music recorder [DMR]," said Robertson. "Just as a digital video recorder stores video and allows you to play it back on TVs, a DMR lets you add a music track or album to MP3beamer and immediately have it available on your home stereo, iTunes, PDA or portable device -- virtually any device with speakers or a headphone jack."

o Digital Music Retail Developer MusicGremlin Raises Funds

New York -- MusicGremlin, a developer of digital music retail technology that delivers downloads directly to secure portable devices, announced on Thursday that it has raised an undisclosed amount in its second round of funding, led by Allen & Company LLC. The company has raised more than $5 million to date. New York-based MusicGremlin says its technology will enable consumers to purchase and download digital music directly to portable devices without the need of a PC, as well as share their music collections directly from their devices. The company, which said it will use the funds for working capital and to expand its operations, added that it has developed its second generation product and is in the process of licensing its technology to consumer electronics firms.

o Report: Vertical Search Will Drive Online Marketing Growth

New York, N.Y. -- In the online search-engine market, rapidly rising keyword prices on broad-based search engines will soon stabilize and industry growth will depend substantially on the value provided by "vertical" search engines, according to a new report from JupiterResearch, a technology market research firm. "The trend will cause a sea change in how advertising spending is allocated online and force media firms in vertical categories to embrace performance-based advertising pricing models," said Niki Scevak, an analyst with JupiterResearch. "If vertically focused media firms do not seize this opportunity, search engines like Yahoo and Google, as well as a number of established and startup vertical search engines like Shopping.com and Sidestep will enter to satisfy the market demand," Scevak said. The new report found that paid search spending in the U.S. is highly concentrated; just four categories -- retail, financial services, media and entertainment and travel -- accounted for 79% of the $2.6 billion spent on paid search in 2004, according to the report.

o Briefly Noted:

(Burbank, Calif.) Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced on Thursday that it has signed an agreement with actor/director Clint Eastwood's Malpaso and The Tehama Companies to create video game versions of the "Dirty Harry" film series. No information on a developer or platforms was provided for the titles, which will feature the voice and likeness of Eastwood in his role as detective Harry Callahan. "This will be an opportunity to satisfy the many requests over the years to continue the 'Dirty Harry' legacy, only now in the video game medium," said Eastwood.

(Seoul) Korean consumer electronics firm Humax announced on Thursday that it has signed an agreement with satellite TV provider DirecTV to supply the company with digital satellite set-top boxes. Under the agreement, Humax will supply entry-level receivers, an HDTV receiver, and the new DirecTV DVR. The Humax digital video recorder, slated for release later this year, is a sign of DirecTV's distancing itself from TiVo, which currently sells a majority of the digital video recorders it manufactures to DirecTV.

(San Francisco) Wired News on Thursday featured a story that postulates that The Wall Street Journal is in danger of becoming irrelevant, due to its policy of forcing online readers to pay an annual subscription to access its stories. The paper boasts a daily circulation of 2.1 million and claims 684,000 paying subscribers to its WSJ.com website. But, the next generation of news consumers -- who routinely search online for news -- rarely, if ever read content from The Wall Street Journal because they refuse to pay for online access.
