o German Authorities to Prosecute 3,500 Music File-Swappers

Cologne, Germany - German authorities have launched criminal proceedings against 3,500 music file-swappers on the eDonkey peer-to-peer network, according to a report from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), a record label trade group. The IFPI said German police on Tuesday searched 130 premises to gather evidence in its investigations, which have been underway for several months under the auspices of the Public Prosecution Service of Cologne and the Police Authority of Bergheim. Each individual faces both criminal prosecution and claims of up to several thousand dollars for uploading songs onto eDonkey. "No one should be surprised that we are stepping up our campaign in this way," said IFPI chairman and CEO John Kennedy. "The music industry has run numerous education campaigns aimed at audiences from parents to schools and internet users. Internet piracy has hurt the whole music community in Germany, with legitimate sales falling by a third in just five years."

o BSA Encouraged by Drop in Software Piracy Rate in Emerging Economies

Washington - Though the worldwide rate of software piracy remained unchanged in 2005, the rates in emerging economies such as China, Russia and India improved, according to a new report from the Business Software Alliance (BSA), an association of some of the world's largest software developers. The BSA said that 35% of the packaged software installed on personal computers worldwide was illegal, amounting to $34 billion in global losses, piracy rates decreased moderately in more than half (51) of the 97 countries covered in the study. "The progress made in reducing PC software piracy in several emerging markets provides some encouragement; however, much more needs to be done," said Robert Holleyman, the president and CEO of the BSA. Piracy rates in Russia and China each dropped 4%, while the rate in India fell 2%.

o XM Satellite Radio Terminates Deal to Acquire WCS Wireless

Washington - After failing to gain the necessary government approvals, XM Satellite Radio, a provider of satellite radio service to more than 6.5 million subscribers, said that it has terminated its planned acquisition of WCS Wireless, a Nevada-based owner of wireless spectrum licenses in geographic areas covering 163 million people throughout the U.S. The deal, which was worth about $200 million when announced last July -- but has since seen its value fall significantly with XM's dwindling share price -- was supposed to give XM the resources to launch a variety of new video and data offerings. Without regulatory approval, however, the two sides agreed to terminate the deal, freeing WCS to pursue other alternatives for its spectrum. The news sent shares of XM down 3.8% on Tuesday.
