- "Pearl
Jam protests censoring of Lollapalooza webcast: AT&T
says the deleting of Vedder's anti-Bush lyrics was a 'major, major mistake.'."
... "Pearl Jam is alarmed that an AT&T concert website pulled the plug
on their stage politics, but an official with the communications giant
today called the incident "a major, major mistake" that runs counter to
the company's policy." ... "The Seattle [Washington] rock band closed the
three-day Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago [Illinois] last weekend, with
AT&T's Blue Room handling the live webcast. But when lead singer Eddie
Vedder sprinkled one song with some disparaging lyrics about [Republican]
President Bush, a content monitor chose to hit the equivalent of a mute
button." ... "The band, on its official
website, called that decision an example of Corporate America putting
a chill on free speech." ... ""This, of course, troubles us as artists
but also as citizens concerned with the issue of censorship and the increasingly
consolidated control of the media," the band said in the statement. "AT&T's
actions strike at the heart of the public's concerns over the power that
corporations have when it comes to determining what the public sees and
hears through communications media."" -By Geoff Boucher

Puts Live Games Online." ... "Looking to cash in
on the popularity -- and exclusivity -- of online audio broadcasts of baseball
games, Major League Baseball's Web portal on Tuesday launched a new MLB.TV
service that offers on-demand and live access to pay-per-view video feeds."
... "The MLB.TV service, an extension of a three-year exclusive deal with
Seattle-based RealNetworks (Quote,
Company
Info) will employ IP tracking to protect network television rights
of local games but, because the technology has been unreliable as a geo-location
tool, it's likely to raise the ire of MLB's television partners that shell
out billions of broadcast rights." ... "According to Arbitron's Webcast
Audience Profiles, fans who tune in and pay for baseball Webcasts were
a prized lot." -By Ryan Naraine

"THE
END USER You, on radio: New Webcasting software
makes pirates more elusive." ... "... there is new free Webcasting software
such as Streamer (www.chaotica.u-net.com)
and Peercast (www.peercast.org) that
do away with central servers and create peer-to-peer networks that are
extremely difficult to trace." ... "If you want to broadcast on Streamer,
all you need is a plug-in for Winamp, available from Shoutcast [short
URL].... Install the plug-in into the folder that contains Winamp,
and Winamp will send what you're playing to Streamer, which will broadcast
it. (The software is Windows-only for now.)" -By Lee

"Labels
to Net Radio: Die Now: You’d think the record
companies would love Internet tunes—instead they’re trying to kill them."
... "The apparent irony is that Webcasting seems like something that the
record labels would want to nurture, not smother in the cradle. There’s
no Napster problem: Web radio uses streaming technology—real-time transmissions
that can’t easily be downloaded and stored. Just like real radio, it’s
free exposure for artists, especially ones that have difficulty getting
air time in the cookie-cutter world of FM radio. And Webcast listeners
find it easy to buy what they like: musical cuts are clearly identified,
and often there are direct links to allow an instant CD purchase." -By

out competitors." ... "The comments made this week by Mark Cuban, founder
of Broadcast.com, have inflamed small Webcasters who say royalties paid
to stream music over the Internet will force them out of business." -By
