Stories
o WSJ: New MPAA Study Puts Studio
Piracy Losses 75% Higher
New York - The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday
that new piracy figures from a study commissioned by the Motion
Picture Association of America (MPAA) show studio losses from piracy
to be 75% greater than previous estimates. Conducted by LEK
Consulting, the study used more consistent methodologies in
determining studio losses from piracy, citing annual losses of $6.1
billion, compared with earlier estimates of $3.5 billion. The
Journal reported that infighting between MPAA member studios
postponed the release of the report, as some felt the new numbers
would negatively affect their stock prices and cast doubt on their
anti-piracy efforts. The study also ranked Mexico higher than the
claimed piracy havens of China and Russia, causing some skepticism
about the results. The study blamed Internet-based piracy for $447
million in U.S. studio losses during 2005, compared with $335
million from professional bootleggers and $529 million resulting
from consumers making copies of legitimate films on DVD or VHS.

o French Govt.
Backtracks on Bill Forcing Apple to Open iTunes
San Francisco - The French government has backtracked on
its position that Apple, Sony and other companies using closed
digital rights management technologies must open them to other
companies to ensure competition, CNET News.com reported. Some
speculated this would compel Apple to shut down iTunes in France
rather than reveal its FairPlay security technology to competitors.
The French Senate had floated a bill that would have required Apple
to open its iTunes store so that songs could be downloaded to other
MP3 players; the law would have also applied to Sony's Connect
online store and others that set up exclusive relationships between
online services and electronics devices. This wording within the
proposed legislation has since been removed, The Inquirer reported.
The French Senate is due to begin debate on the bill Thursday.

o Another
Video Game With Hidden Sex Content Given Stricter Rating
New York - Another video game has been given a more strict
rating after it was discovered that players could unlock sexually
explicit and more violent content hidden in its source code. The
Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) said that the PC version
of developer Bethesda Softworks' "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion"
will be raised from T (Teen 13+) to M (Mature 17+), following the
revelation that a locked "skin" in the game's code can be unlocked
by downloading a patch on the Internet. The skin introduces more
detailed depictions of blood and gore than were considered in the
original rating, and also allows users to play with topless versions
of female characters. "Rating changes are extraordinarily rare, but
if ever one does occur, ESRB recognizes that parents must be made
aware of the change as quickly as possible so they are certain to
have the most current and accurate information," said ESRB president
Patricia Vance. The PC version of "Elder Scrolls" will now carry an
additional content descriptor for "Nudity" until it can be
re-mastered and released with the skin removed. A similar incident
where a downloadable patch unlocked a hidden sexual mini-game within
Take-Two Interactive's "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" caused the
top-selling game to be removed from shelves and given an "Adults
Only" rating -- the equivalent of an X-rated movie.

o Microsoft, TV
Producer in Multimillion-Dollar Deal to Produce Web Pilots
New York - Microsoft has partnered with Hollywood producer
Ben Silverman to create 10 Web pilot shows for MSN as part of its
MSN Originals initiative, The New York Times reported. The
multimillion-dollar deal with Silverman ("The Office," "The Biggest
Loser") has already borne four original shows -- "Under the
Influence," "Face Off," "Airplane" and "Chef to the Rescue -- that
will feature product placements, and various e-commerce
opportunities within online communities created around the shows.
Under the deal, Silverman's production company Reveille will retain
the right to develop any of the Web series into a television
program, in which Microsoft will share revenues.

o
Activision Faces Class Action Suit on Overtime Pay
Santa Monica, Calif. - Video game publisher Activision
faces a class action lawsuit filed by employees who claim they are
owed overtime pay. Filed by the Boston law firm of Shapiro Haber &
Urmy, the suit follows the announcement of a $14.9 million
settlement of a similar class action suit between Electronic Arts
and its employees. That case brought to light the often endless
weeks of long hours that employees who work on video games face, and
differences in their classifications that deprive some of receiving
overtime pay. The law firm handling the Activision class action also
filed a similar suit against Sony Computer Entertainment America in
early 2005. "Excessive overtime is endemic in the videogame
industry, but we hope that this and other lawsuits will spur major
changes in the way employers treat their employees," said partner
Thomas Urmy.

o Class
Action Suit Filed Against XM Satellite Radio
Washington - A group of shareholders is alleging that XM
Satellite Radio misled investors about the price the company paid to
reach its goal of 6 million subscribers last year. The news helped
to drive the company's stock price down more than 5% on Wednesday to
close at $17.50. According to the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District
Court in DC, XM allegedly made "misrepresentations" about its
ability to reduce the costs of new subscribers as it reached last
year's goal. It further alleges that the company failed to disclose
that those costs would rise, leading to large increases in the
company's net losses.

o AOL
Sees Drop in Revenue, Subscribers; Ad Revenue Rises
Dulles, Va. - As the company continues to tweak its
business model, AOL on Wednesday said that its revenue last quarter
dropped 7% to $1.98 billion, and that it lost 835,000 subscribers
from the year before. AOL is in the process of de-emphasizing its
dial-up Internet service while attempting to ramp up advertising
revenue on its free AOL.com portal. Though subscription revenue
dropped 13%, ad revenue on AOL.com rose 26%. That figure is only
expected to rise as AOL's advertising partnership with Google kicks
in. Google is investing $1 billion to acquire a 5% stake in AOL. As
part of that deal, AOL will get $300 million worth of ads on
Google's network.
