o Movie Studios Plan Copyright Suits Against Internet Movie-Swappers

Los Angeles -- The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) announced on Thursday that it will follow in the steps of the recording industry and begin filing copyright infringement lawsuits against individuals suspected of sharing movies on peer-to-peer file-sharing networks. Although paling in comparison to the amount of music traded online, the MPAA said an average of between 115,000 and 148,000 movie titles are traded daily in the U.S. on peer-to-peer services. While on average a movie takes between 12-18 hours to download on Kazaa, the MPAA says newer services provide downloads in 3 to 6 hours and emerging technology could lower the wait to just 6 seconds. "People who have been stealing our movies believe they are anonymous on the Internet, and wouldn't be held responsible for their actions," said MPAA president and CEO Dan Glickman. "They are wrong. We know who they are, and we will go after them, as these suits will prove." MPAA member studios plan to file against as many as 230 defendants in their first wave of movie-swapper lawsuits on Nov. 15, seeking damages of between $30,000 and $150,000 for each alleged illegal movie offered online. "The movie industry has contributed immeasurably to California's economic strength," said Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. "It has also helped many of my own dreams come true. We cannot let illegal movie piracy continue or it will cripple this important industry and seriously hurt California's economy."

o Microsoft Expands Music Download Service in Europe

Madrid -- Microsoft announced on Thursday that it has launched its MSN music download service in eight European countries, bringing its Western European tally to 13. Microsoft said it launched its new stores in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland through a partnership with CDON.com, a Sweden-based Internet retailer. The U.S.-based software giant also said it would launch the service in Spain, the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland using a similar partnership agreement with OD2, a unit of Seattle-based Loudeye. "If you take all the new countries, we expect to overtake iTunes very soon because we will have a larger user base to tap," said Arndt Salzburg, Microsoft MSN director for the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and South America). Just last week, rival Apple expanded its iTunes music download service to an additional nine countries, bringing its European total to 12.

o Microsoft, Intel Joint Marketing Campaign to Tout "Digital Home" Technologies

Redmond, Wash. -- Microsoft and chipmaker Intel announced on Thursday that they have partnered on a joint marketing campaign highlighting how their technologies figure into a "digital home." The "Digital Joy" TV, print, cinema and online ad campaign will point consumers to set-ups showcasing interconnected consumer electronics devices in 38 high-traffic U.S. shopping malls. The displays will allow consumers to try out new devices that utilize Intel chips and Microsoft's Media Center software that can connect PCs with various devices and appliances, and share video, music and photos. "Consumers have been anticipating the benefits of 'digital convergence' in the home -- integration of digital movies, music, photos and TV along with devices -- powered by the PC," said Microsoft's Tom Button. "Microsoft and Intel share a common vision on how to deliver these benefits to consumers."

o Tiger Telematics Acquires Integra, Plans Smartphone "Bizmondo"

London -- Tiger Telematics, the Florida-based electronics firm behind the Gizmondo multifunctional handheld video game console, announced on Thursday that it has acquired U.K.-based Integra, a developer of business integration software, and will include its technology in a new smartphone version of its device called the Bizmondo. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Tiger's Gizmondo Europe unit recently released its Gizmondo console -- which includes GPS, GPRS, MP3 and MPEG-4 movie support in addition to playing games -- in Europe, and is slated to ship the device to the U.S. in the first quarter of 2005. Tiger said the Bizmondo will include all of these features in addition to Integra's AltioLive software, which provides real-time remote access to multiple functions like financial services information, corporate applications, email and messaging. Separately, Gizmondo Europe said on Thursday that it has signed with United Electronics SL to distribute the Gizmondo in Spain and Portugal, for a minimum of 30,000 units.

o Briefly Noted:

(Portland, Ore.) Rentrak, a provider of revenue tracking for movie and video game rentals, said on Thursday that Rockstar Games' "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" title earned a record $1.6 million in consumer rental revenue for the week ending Oct. 31, also remarkably outperforming weekly rental earnings for the top 10 VHS movie titles. By contrast, the second most-rented game during the same week was Midway's "Mortal Kombat: Deception," which generated $329,000.
http://www.rentrak.com

(Santa Monica, Calif.) Citing "Internet piracy and bootlegging" as the cause, Interscope Records announced on Thursday that it has moved up the release date for rapper Eminem's new album "Encore" by four days to Nov. 12. "This is something we have been anticipating," said Interscope head of sales and marketing Steve Berman. "Once we had all of our pieces together we started a discussion as to whether Encore should come early. We knew there would be a tremendous demand for this album." A similar tact was used preceding the early release of Eminem's previous record, and has been used by other labels as a means of both quelling potential piracy and generating media attention for an album release.

(Denver) On Command, a provider of in-room interactive entertainment for hoteliers, announced on Thursday that it has signed an agreement with John Q. Hammond Hotels --- owners of Embassy Suites, Holiday Inn and Marriott properties -- to provide video-on-demand and other interactive services in 56 hotels representing 13,558 guest rooms.

Jamster will sell audio and video ringtones, games, images and wireless applications for photos, email and news. Packages will be offered starting at around $5.50 per month.
http://www.jamster.co.uk

(Amsterdam) Reuters reported on Wednesday that, for the second time in a month, the largest newspaper in the Netherlands has used an amateur photographer's camera phone-snapped picture on its front page. De Telegraaf, which counts a circulation of 800,000, on Wednesday published a camera phone picture of Theo van Gogh with daggers plunged into his chest. A passerby snapped a picture of the murder victim, a filmmaker who authorities say was likely targeted by an Islamic militant, before news crews arrived on the scene after the body had already been covered up. "This picture was the story. There was a discussion if we should use it, but everyone who would have had this picture would have published it," Telegraaf pictures editor Peter Schoonen told Reuters.

(London) U.K. newspaper The Guardian on Wednesday reported on what U.K. wireless network 3 Mobile is calling the "first live mobile music gig," where BMG artists Rooster performed live for both a live audience and about 1,000 3 Mobile subscribers who were watching on their streaming video-enabled cell phones. 3 Mobile said that about 10,000 of its 1.2 million 3G service subscribers signed up to view the 45-minute set, but only the first 1,000 were offered the chance to pay about $9.20 to watch the wireless set. The company said the mobile gig was mainly a test to gauge interest in such services. "It's to prove we can do this," a 3 Mobile spokesperson told The Guardian. "We thought, let's try it, let's see if people want it."
