| RIAA
Vs CDRs |
AP reports: Music copied onto blank recordable
CDs is becoming a bigger threat to the bottom line of record stores and
music labels than online file-sharing, the head of the recording industry's
trade group said Friday.
"Burned" CDs accounted for 29 percent of
all recorded music obtained by fans in 2004, compared to 16 percent attributed
to downloads from online file-sharing networks, said Mitch Bainwol, chief

| Microsoft
Vs Apple |
FMQB reports: It has been revealed that Microsoft
actually holds the patent to some of the technology used in Apple's wildly
popular iPod. Appleinsider.com reported earlier this week that Microsoft
filed a patent for the technology five months before Apple. The discrepancy
was not taken care of or made public until a few weeks ago. If Microsoft
is awarded the final patent on the technology, it would charge Apple a
licensing royalty fee to continue using it.
Currently, the iPod makes up approximately
75 percent of the U.S. portable MP3 player market. "Apple invented and
publicly released the iPod interface before the Microsoft patent application
cited by the examiner was filed," Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris told
the New York Daily News. The iPod was introduced in October 2001, Microsoft's
initial patent application was filed in May 2002 and Apple's filed in October
of that year.[imagine Bill Gates trying to steal someone elses idea. see

| Waking
Up Dead |
Adrenaline PR reports: Eris Productions and
PTP Productions announce today that the theatrical debut of WAKING UP DEAD
is scheduled for later this month in New York City. The feature length
documentary will be shown beginning August 26th at the Tribeca Cinemas
in lower Manhattan, located at 54 Varick Street.
Filmed over a four yearsperiod, Emmy Award
winning journalist and filmmaker Fabio Jafet uncovers the seedy underworld
of the music business through the eyes of friend, Phil Varone, of SAIGON
KICK and SKID ROW fame. Jafet reveals what really goes on behind the scenes
in a way never captured before on camera. The film is a brutally honest
and a hardcore look into the addictions, betrayals and pitfalls on the
relentless road to rock stardom.
Jafet says, "Phil's life was spiraling
out of control. The only way to help him was to make a movie and force
him to come face to face with his own demons. The content of the film is
so extreme that we've actually had a difficult time getting it released
at all. We had to severely edit the film to avoid a rating of NC-17."[see
