1. Study on the development of new advertising techniques and their
regulatory implications (RAPID)
The European Commission has just received a report by independent
experts on the development of new advertising techniques. The study,
which does not necessarily reflect the Commission's views, is part of
a wider evaluation of the "television without frontiers" directive
that will figure in a report to be adopted by the College by the end
of 2002. This evaluation report will be backed up by a work programme
designed to prepare the ground for a subsequent revision of the
directive. The independent study confirms the reasons that led
Viviane Reding, the European Commissioner in charge of audiovisual
policy, to opt for a pre-revision work programme rather than an
immediate revision of the TWF directive.

2. UK - Ministers set to reject BBC funding shake-up (FT)
Calls for a radical shake up in the way the BBC is funded are set to
be rejected by ministers in a move that will see the world's largest

another 15 years. see also Candour and caution from culture secretary.
http://www.qlinks.net/items/qlitem13905.htm
3. EU - Commission approves acquisition of joint control of VG Media

http://www.qlinks.net/items/qlitem13867.htm
4. EU - Commission approves state funding to BBC digital television
and radio channels (BBC)
The European Commission has decided that the funding of the BBC's
nine new digital television and radio channels through the UK
television licence fee does not involve state aid. This is because
the new channels will be subject to public service obligations and
the state financing is not disproportionate to the net costs of
running the services.
http://www.qlinks.net/items/qlitem13869.htm
5. EU - Commission clears online travel agency between Amadeus and
Galeries Lafayette (RAPID)
The European Commission has granted regulatory clearance to a deal
whereby Laser, a subsidiary of French retail group Galeries
Lafayette, and Amadeus will acquire joint control of a joint venture
which will operate as an online travel agency in France.

7. UK - Rivals threaten BBC with court for =A3150m online learning
push (Guardian)
Several media and software companies are demanding a judicial review
of the BBC's plans to spend =A3150m of licence money on expanding its
online education service over the next five years. The BBC faces a
battle with a coalition of 18 software firms, which say their
industry will be "decimated" if the BBC plans are approved by the
government. They believe the plans go beyond the corporation's public
service remit. see also Tessa Jowell seeks views on BBC application

8. US - Merger-Review Plan Scuttled (Washington Post)
The Bush administration dropped a controversial plan to change the
way the government's antitrust agencies review corporate mergers and
acquisitions. In face of strong opposition from a key senator, the
Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission wrote Senate
committees that they would abandon an agreement to codify which
agency should review mergers in specific industries.

11. NZ - Porn was for software filter test says defendant (New
Zealand Herald)
A man convicted of importing more than 100,000 illegal pornographic
images says he was gathering the pictures to test filtering software
that would block the material. Computer specialist Bryce Coad said an
error of judgment that led him to bring the electronic images across
New Zealand's border would probably destroy his career in the IT
industry.

12. SG - Student jailed for accessing net account (IT Asia)
District Judge Wong Keen Onn has sentenced an Indonesian boy to a

13. TH - Child pornography: calls for legal reform (Bangkok Post)
ECPAT International believes there must be legal reform to harmonise
Thai legislation relating to child pornography on the Internet as
well as making it easier to prosecute people involved. Cooperation is
needed among law enforcement agencies, the commercial sector, NGOs
and civil society. See also.

17. US - Chat room rendezvous not so rare (MSNBC)
The death of 13-year-old Christina Long this week, allegedly at the
hands of an Internet lover, was perhaps the first child murder
directly linked to a chat room meeting. But the conditions for her
murder are far more common than most parents realize, experts say.
One recent study says about 1 in 10 teens admit they've followed
through on a rendezvous with someone they first met in a chat room.
http://www.qlinks.net/items/qlitem13873.htm
18. US - House Passes Child-Sex Crime Wiretap Bill (Washtech)
The U.S. House of Representatives today approved legislation that
would give law enforcement new powers to eavesdrop on the telephone
conversations of suspected child-sex predators. Supporters say that
the "Child Sex Crimes Wiretapping Act of 2001" is needed to snare
potential child molesters who search for children in Internet chat
rooms.

19. U.S. to Give Travel Web Sites A Close Look (Washington Post)
As the Internet becomes more of a destination of choice for
consumers looking to book airline tickets, hotel rooms or car
rentals, the government is considering whether the Web sites should
be regulated and whether they are indeed offering the lowest fares.
http://www.qlinks.net/items/qlitem13904.htm
20. AU - Censor law not so bad: survey (Australian IT)
The impact of censorship legislation on ISPs has not been as bad as
was once feared, according to research. A survey by Carolyn Penfold,
a law lecturer at the University of NSW, suggests few ISPs have had
to make serious changes as a result of the laws.
http://www.qlinks.net/items/qlitem13908.htm
21. AU - NSW censor bill in doubt (Australian IT)
The controversial internet censorship laws passed by the NSW
Government could be repealed after a damning assessment by a
parliamentary committee. The report says the regulatory scheme would
undermine the right of adults to see and hear what they want - an
essential underpinning of democratic and cultural expression.

23. CN - China loses grip on internet (BBC)
The internet is changing China profoundly, breaking down the
stranglehold on information held by China's communist rulers. The
Chinese are now the second biggest internet users in the world. Last
year more than 56 million of them logged on from home, and that
number is growing by 6% a month. But the Chinese state will not give
up its monopoly without a fight - and using the internet to express
dissent in China is still a very dangerous game to play.

24. TR - Turkish internet law faces strong opposition (Europemedia)
A new Turkish law that groups the internet under the same controls
as the rest of the country's media are facing harsh criticism from
users, service providers and the European Union. see also Censoring

26. US - Are "Abortion Cam" Websites Privacy-violating Or First
Amendment-protected? (FindLaw)
Recently, antiabortion activists have adopted a new tactic: Posting
photos of women entering abortion clinics on websites. Are the
"abortion cam" websites a legitimate exercise of First Amendment
rights? Or are they an improper and threatening violation of privacy
that puts the women depicted in danger?

29. Hollywood moves against web pirate (BBC)
A new pirate movie website which has opened in Iran has brought a
swift denunciation from international film industry body the Motion

related to Taiwan-based Movie88.com which sold access to thousands of
films for $1 each, until it closed down in February - after pressure
from the MPA and the Taiwanese Government

30. Spider-Man targeted by web pirates (BBC)
About 10 million people have attempted to download copies illegally
of blockbusters Spider-Man and the new Star Wars film, a new report
estimates. And of those, the report says that between two to three
million successfully finished the operation allowing them to watch
the whole movie. The Copyright Crusade II report, compiled by US
research company Viant, will send alarm bells ringing through the
film industry as studios attempt to stave off the threat of internet
piracy.

31. US - Copyfight Renewal (Washington Post)
The Electronic Frontier Foundation suit on behalf of five owners of
ReplayTV and the entertainment industry's own suit against ReplayTV,
and most other copyright conflicts, hinge on the idea of "fair use" -
the concept that copyright holders' control over their work must
allow exceptions for some noncommercial uses. But the fair-use rights
of consumers have never been codified. EFF Newmark, et al., v.

32. US - The Phenomenon Of Parody Websites (FindLaw)
University of Washington law professor Anita Ramasastry discusses
the recent phenomenon of parody websites and domain names - some of
which so closely parallel the originals that they can be easily
confused with them. How can one tell a true parody from a copyright
and trademark-infringing site that merely causes confusion?

it's market driven, it follows the Internet fashion of skipping

Domain registry Afilias has signaled the start of another rush for
what could be - literally - some of the hottest domain names still
available within the new dot-info domain space. Approximately 17,000
second-hand domains unveiled for a form of pre-booking are apparently
so attractive that their previous registrants had been willing to lie
and cheat to get them when dot-info went live last year.

38. US - NeuStar Voices Concerns Over 'Dot-Kids' Bill (Washtech.com)

South Africa's parliament gave initial approval to a law designed to
expand access to the Internet, but critics say it could force the

The European Commission has proposed a Directive aiming to
facilitate the re-use of public sector information throughout Europe.
The aim is to lower the barriers which Europe's content companies
face as they develop a new generation of information services and
products based on public sector information. The result should
decrease the gap between European companies and their counterparts in
the US, where a single set of rules has helped stimulate a market
several times larger than in the EU.
