Cynopsis

10/04/07

Good Morning.  It’s Thursday, October 4, 2007 and this is your first early morning briefing. 

NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker called for tougher penalties against media pirates in an address to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce yesterday claiming, “Today we are losing the battle.” He cited a new study from the pro-industry Institute for Policy Innovation as evidence, which estimates nearly $60 million and 375,000 jobs are lost annually because of copyright infringement. Mr. Zucker would like to see IP enforcement departments created by Congress to police the internet, advertisers stop providing financial support to illegal sites and web 2.0 companies provide better filtering technologies.

RCN subscribers have a new HD channel – TBS HD launched yesterday and in time to carry the American and National League division playoffs in hi def. 

ABC has given a put pilot with penalty (say that 3 times fast!) to an untitled drama project from JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot and Warner Bros. TV. According to Variety, the story revolves around a psychologist who has a show on local cable access.  The script will be written by Jill Soloway, writer on Grey’s Anatomy.

HBO has renewed Love Me for a second season, and has ordered up two drama projects, per Hollywood Reporter:

• 1% is from Management 360 and writer Michael Tolkin, and is set in the world of biker gangs.  The 1% is from a 50-year old quote from the American Motorcycle Association that said biker gangs represents just 1% of the biking community and are a threat the American way of life. 
• Patient 2344 is from writer John J. McLaughlin, and is set in a clinical research institute.
