o U.S. Asks WTO for Review of China's Anti-Piracy Efforts

Washington - The Bush Administration has asked the World Trade Organization (WTO) for a special review of government efforts to stem piracy of music, movies, software and other products in China, deemed by the U.S. as a haven for piracy, the Associated Press reported. "If China believes that it is doing enough to protect intellectual property, then it should view this process as a chance to prove its case," said U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman. "Our goal is to get detailed information that will help pinpoint exactly where the enforcement system is breaking down so we can decide the appropriate next step." AP reports that U.S. business interests have been lobbying for the government to make a formal complaint against China over piracy, which could eventually lead to economic sanctions against China.

o Microsoft Joins Yahoo-Internet Archive Digital Library Project

San Francisco - Microsoft announced on Wednesday that its MSN Search will join the Open Content Alliance (OCA), a non-profit effort to create a massive digital archive of the world's books. With the launch of MSN Book Search, Microsoft joins Yahoo in supporting the OCA, whose digital library project has partnered with the Internet Archive to scan public domain works, and those for which it has received express permission from authors and publishers. A similar program from Google, which has drawn copyright infringement lawsuits from both authors and publishers, takes brief snippets of works from all books without first seeking permissions. Microsoft will pay to digitize 150,000 titles, while Yahoo has said it will pay for digitization of 18,000 works, Danielle Tiedt, general manager of search content acquisition at MSN, told CNET News.com. Microsoft said its MSN Book Search service will launch in beta sometime next year.

o Report: Broadband Users to Buy $4.5 Billion in Digital Music in 2010

Boston - Broadband households in Europe and North America will spend over a billion dollars on a la carte digital songs and digital music subscription services this year, with sales expected to reach $4.5 billion by 2010, according to a report from Boston-based market research firm Strategy Analytics. In 2010, digital music will represent 16% of total music sales, up from less than 2% in 2004. While Apple currently dominates the market with its a la carte song download service, iTunes, Strategy Analytics predicts that by 2010 over 60% of online music revenues will be derived from subscription-based services with a fixed monthly fee. "Telcos, cable operators and other broadband service providers will encourage adoption of subscription-based services, which produce steadier revenue streams and are more likely to deter customer churn," said Strategy Analytics senior analyst Martin Olausson. "Subscription-based services will also be better positioned to maintain price points over time by adding portability and other advanced features."

o Google Video to Host American Television Archive Interviews

As of today, the first 75 of the Foundation's 284 films are available from Google Video, including interviews with TV industry personalities Alan Alda, Michael J.

o White House Requests The Onion Stop Using Presidential Seal on Website

Washington - The New York Times reports that the associate counsel to President Bush has written to the satirical news publisher, The Onion, requesting the removal of the presidential seal from its website. Grant M. Dixton, associate counsel to the president, wrote to The Onion on Sept. 28, stipulating that the seal "is not to be used in connection with commercial ventures or products in any way that suggests presidential support or endorsement." The Onion, which publishes a parody of President Bush's weekly radio address on its website, responded through attorney Rochelle H. Klaskin, saying "It is inconceivable that anyone would think that, by using the seal, The Onion intends to 'convey... sponsorship or approval' by the president." When asked how the White House became aware of the seal's use, White House spokesman Trent Duffy told The Times, "Despite the seriousness of the Bush White House, more than one Bush staffer reads The Onion and enjoys it thoroughly."

The article says record labels could end up pricing U.S. mobile phone song downloads out of the range of consumer interest, pointing out that if U.S. carriers charge $3 per song, 90 cents would be split between the carrier and mobile music service provider, while the remaining $2.10 would go to the label and copyright holders. "However greedy the music labels want to be, that's where the price comes in," Roger Entner, a wireless analyst at Ovum, told WIRED.
