o U.S. to Encourage Chinese Piracy
Crackdown During April Trade Meeting
Washington - The U.S. government will pressure China to
crack down on specific plants producing pirated movies and music,
and also increase the number of legitimate U.S. films that may be
distributed in the country each year during an official visit there
next month, Reuters reported on Thursday. "Over the next month, we
will know one way or another whether they're serious about reducing
the piracy that disproportionately affects U.S. exports," U.S. Trade
Representative Rob Portman told Reuters. China allows no more than
20 foreign films to enter the legitimate movie marketplace each
year, a policy the U.S. says fuels China's pirate film industry.
"We'd like to see tangible markers laid down (at the meeting) on the
intellectual property front, with commitments on what enforcement
mechanisms are being put into place and how we can benchmark Chinese
compliance," said Myron Brilliant, vice president for Asia at the
U.S. Chamber of Commerce, told Reuters.

o Blue-Chip
Ads Appearing Alongside Blue Content on Some Video Sites
San Francisco - A number of blue-chip advertisers have
begun to see their ads pop up on video sites next to blue content,
CNET News.com reported on Thursday. Ads for firms including Apple,
AT&T and Comcast have shown up on sites such as iFilm, alongside
"mature" video clips with descriptions like, "Lovely girls from
Chile show off their upskirt flavor in the school's courtyard."
While Apple declined to comment, and a Comcast spokeswoman said the
company was unaware of the ad placements, AT&T told News.com in a
statement that the company "has advertising policies to ensure our
ads are placed in appropriate mediums consistent with the company's
brand. It appears the sites in question were part of a large buy vs.
a specific target. To date, we've had no complaints or concerns. We
are reviewing these sites, and if we determine that it is an
inappropriate placement, we will discontinue advertising on those
sites." While iFilm told News.com the ads next to mature content
were a site glitch, similar blue-chip ads have appeared alongside
questionable content on other sites, including VidiLife.com and
eBaum's World.

o Study: 50
Million Americans Now Access Their News Through the Web
Washington - Some 50 million Americans now turn to the
Internet for news on a typical day, nearly twice as many as in 2002,
according to a new report by the Pew Internet & American Life
Project. The increase coincides with the rapid growth of broadband
adaptation in American homes, Pew said. About 23% of respondents to
a December survey said that they get their news from the Web. Among
broadband users, however, that number climbed to 43% -- 5% higher
than local newspapers and nearly as high as both national TV and
radio. Among "high-powered" broadband users -- those who do more
online in a typical day than other high-speed users -- 71% said that
they get their news online, beating out all other categories,
including local TV, radio and national TV, by wide margins.

o Sling Media
Launches Cell Phone Version of Home TV Channel Access Service
San Mateo, Calif. - Sling Media, the provider of a service
that lets cable and satellite pay-TV subscribers access their home
channels from any Internet-connected device, announced on Thursday
that it has launched a beta test of a new cell phone version of its
service. The SlingPlayer Mobile application, compatible with cell
phones and mobile devices running Microsoft Windows Mobile, will be
available for a one-time fee of $29 beginning April 26. Users will

paying only for their wireless carrier's blanket data subscription
package.

o Report:
Digital Video Recorders Will Be In 130 Million Homes by 2010
Boston - The number of homes worldwide with digital video
recorder service will grow from 17.4 million at the end of 2005 to
130 million by 2010, when makers of digital video recorders will see
annual sales of more than 40 million units, according to a report
from market research firm Strategy Analytics. Digital video
recorders are already present in 12% of U.S. homes, and more than
half will have access to one by 2010; by contrast, just 2% of
European homes had a DVR in 2005, a number expected to grow to 25%
by 2010. The firm also projects that sales of IP-enabled will grow
from 2.8 million units in 2005 to 20.4 million units by 2010. "To
remain competitive, manufacturers and service providers must now
make the transition to IP-enabled DVR which will support multi-room
television, remote recording capabilities, and access to personal
content on PCs such as photos and music," said Strategy Analytics
analyst Peter King.

o Game
Publisher Majesco Receives Nasdaq Notice Over Rules Compliance
Edison, N.J. - Video game publisher Majesco Entertainment
announced on Thursday that it has received notice from the Nasdaq
that it is not in compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market's
requirements for continued listing. Specifically, the company does
not have a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders' equity, $35.0
million market value of listed securities or $500,000 of net income
from continuing operations for two of the three latest fiscal years.
New Jersey-based Majesco said it intends to take steps to bring
itself in compliance with Nasdaq rules, but may in fact see its
shares delisted, in which case they would then likely trade on the
Nasdaq's Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.
