EMI to let users 'burn' their own CDs

EMI Recorded Music, ranked third among the world's five largest

it has invested in software developer Roxio Inc., to provide the
technology necessary for recording while prohibiting unauthorized
redistribution. "Cooperation between technology companies and the
music industry is at the core of our plans to develop new revenue
streams for our artists," said Jay Samit, EMI's senior vice
president, in a statement.

WorldNet to offer users free trial video e-mail

WorldNet, the Internet service operated by AT&T, is offering a
free trial of video e-mail. The company said no additional
software is necessary to create and send the files, but users do
need a Pentium-class computer, a Web camera and a microphone.
"It's a great way to really 'see' your college kids while they're
away at school, send video greetings to parents and grandparents
and, if you're [Olympics champion] Marion Jones, display your
medals and trophies," said WorldNet Vice President Ed Chatlos.
Fremont, Calif.-based Talkway Communications, a multimedia
delivery content service provider, delivers the streaming
capability and hosts the video content on its servers. The trial
will run into July, during which time AT&T WorldNet Service will
offer subscribers up to 60 free minutes a month per account of
video e-mail. Pricing for the service after the trial's
expiration has not been disclosed.
