o WSJ:
Google in Talks to Buy YouTube for $1.6 Billion
New York - The Wall Street Journal Online reported on
Friday that search giant Google is in discussions to acquire the
popular video-sharing site YouTube for nearly $1.6 billion. Citing a
"person familiar with the matter," the paper said that talks are
still in the "sensitive" stages and could break off. Both companies
declined to comment. Founded last year, San Mateo, Calif.-based
YouTube now commands the largest share (47%) of any company in the
online video search market, bettering both MySpace (22%) and
Google's own Google Video (11%), according to HitWise data. YouTube
users stream more than 100 million videos daily. An analyst from RBC
Capital recently speculated that MySpace could be valued at an
astonishing $15 billion in a few years, while noted technology
entrepreneur Mark Cuban said last week that anyone who would pay
money to acquire YouTube is a "moron," citing the potential for
copyright infringement lawsuits. NBC and Fox are among media firms
who have asked that YouTube remove clips of their programming from
its site, requests the company has complied with.

o Viacom's
Redstone Not Interested in Facebook: "Price Too High"
New York - Media conglomerate Viacom, whose holdings
include Paramount Pictures, MTV, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central, has
ruled out a bid on social networking site Facebook, chairman Sumner
Redstone said in a TV interview with Charlie Rose. "We would not
consider Facebook," Redstone said. "We looked at it. The price is
too high." Redstone called the experience of losing out to News
Corporation's Rupert Murdoch in the competition to acquire MySpace
"humiliating," adding the company's inaction was a key reason for
his recent decision to oust CEO Tom Freston. "Before Rupert got into
the act, MySpace was sitting there for $500 million and Tom didn't
take it," Redstone told Charlie Rose. Facebook, the second
most-popular social network behind MySpace, claims 9.5 million
members and has also reportedly been in negotiations with Yahoo and
Microsoft.

o Report:
Digital Music Sales Buoy Overall Market
Los Angeles - Over 418 million tracks have been purchased
from digital music retailers so far this year, a rise of 72% over
the same period last year and a factor that helped buoy the overall
industry, which saw physical album sales drop 8.3% in the same
period, according to Nielsen SoundScan data. When digital album
sales for the year so far (22.6 million, up 115% from last year) are
combined with digital singles and physical sales, the overall music
industry has sold 434.9 million albums so far this year, down from
439.2 million during the same period last year. The market share
breakdown by label has not changed over the past year, with
Universal still the largest company with 33.8%, followed by Sony BMG
(26.9%), Warner (26.9%), independents (12.7%) and EMI (10%).

o MySpace
Founder Seeks Federal Probe of News Corp. Purchase
New York - The founder of MySpace parent company Intermix
Media, Brad Greenspan, is seeking a federal investigation of News
Corp.'s $580 million purchase of the online social network, which
was at the time part of his firm Intermix Media, Reuters reported.
Greenspan said he has uncovered internal reports that show MySpace
revenue grew 1,289% on an annualized basis between 2003 and 2005,
while shareholders were given allegedly inaccurate data that cited
growth of just 52% during the period. "The shareholders paid a
massive price here," Greenspan, who published his report at
FreeMySpace.com, told Reuters. "We've strategically built this
business since the acquisition and are just now beginning to realize
real financial value," a Fox Interactive Media spokeswoman told
Reuters. "This is simply a case of sour grapes making for loud
complaints."

Ticketmaster Resale Service to Add Full Tour From "National Musical
Act"
Los Angeles - Ticketmaster is set to announce next week
the addition of the first full tour from a "national musical act" to
its TicketExchange service, which allows ticket buyers with unwanted
tickets to put them up for sale on Ticketmaster's site for whatever
price they choose. David Marcus, Ticketmaster's vice president of
strategic marketing and business development, made the announcement
during a panel at Digital Media Wire's Digital Music Forum on
Thursday in Los Angeles. Originally launched in 2002 as a means of
combating scalpers and taking a piece of the estimated $2 billion in
secondary ticket sales on eBay, StubHub and similar sites,
TicketExchange to this point has mainly been used by sports teams
and select venues, rather than by bands themselves. "Tickets are the
worst-priced product out there in terms of determining value," said
Marcus, who added that he expects a half-dozen bands will sign on to
use the service for their tours this year because they're "sick of
seeing fans turned away at the door." TicketExchange ensures the
validity of tickets sold through the service, as Ticketmaster
cancels the unique barcode on the original ticket and issues a new
code for the secondary buyer. The company will charge both the buyer
and seller fees for the transaction, which are visible at the time
of sale or purchase. TicketExchange is not the first initiative from
the company to target scalpers and the secondary market.
Ticketmaster also offers an auctions service that lets fans bid on
top seats at concerts, and is backing legislation that would outlaw
ticket sales through any online marketplace not authorized by the
original seller.

o More Than
Half of MySpace Visitors in August Were 35 or Older
San Francisco - Dispelling the notion that the world's
most popular online social network is exclusively a teen hang-out,
more than half of visitors to MySpace in August were 35 or older,
CNET News.com reported, citing comScore Media Metrix data. That
figure has risen from 39.5% a year ago, while the percentage of
MySpace visitors between 12-17 dropped from 25% last year, to 12% in
August 2006. MySpace visitors in the 18-24 demographic remained
relatively steady, at around 20%. Overall, MySpace's unique visitor
count had doubled since August of last year, to 55.8 million.

o Report:
U.S. Fund Raising on Track to Break All-Time Annual Record
New York - U.S. private equity firms raised $172.2 billion
in 253 funds through the end of the third quarter, in increase of
about 72% in capital compared to the prior year, according to Dow
Jones Private Equity Analyst. The total so far this year already has
exceeded the $162.5 billion raised in all of 2005 and is expected to
handily surpass the record $177.9 billion raised in 2000. "If fund
raising continues at the current rate of more than $57 billion per
quarter, we are projecting that 2006 will end with as much as $225
billion collected in U.S. private equity funds," said Jennifer Rossa,
managing editor of the Private Equity Analyst. "Private equity fund
managers continue raising bigger funds in an effort to take
advantage of more investment opportunities."
