Good morning, it’s Tuesday, September 8, 2009, and this is your first early morning digital briefing.
 
Google is making concessions to European publishers, authors, booksellers and copyright holders who have voiced concerns about Google’s plans to create a digital clearing house for out-of-print titles. Books which are out of print in the U.S. but still available for sale elsewhere will not be added to the Google Books compendium; instead the company has agreed to negotiate digital rights for these titles with individual European publishers and authors. Google reached a settlement with authors and publishers in the U.S. plan to digitize and sell books online, currently under review in U.S. District Court in New York. Meanwhile, Google also issued a privacy policy for the book project late last week to assuage privacy concerns regarding the project’s data collection practices.

A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM THE NEW YORK TELEVISION FESTIVAL

 
Content syndication technology platform Mochila is announcing a partnership with ad-supported virtual private network AnchorFree this week to deliver premium news and feature content to Anchor Free customers. The content will be packaged into themed sections accessible via AnchorFree’s Hotspot Shield network including technology, business, travel, food, automotive and weather. Technology content will be supplied by partner IDG, publisher of PC World, Macworld and GamePro.
 

 
The hard copy version of Level 26, the true crime social “digi-novel” from CSI creator Anthony E. Zuiker, his is being released today (it’s also coming out as a Kindle edition and Audio CD format) and co-producers EQAL are launching a contest to help promote the launch. Send out any Twitter message that includes the hashtag #Level26 and you are instantly eligible to win a Level 26-branded Flip HD Camera. Level 26 includes codes that readers can plug into the Level 26 site to watch 3 minute “cyber bridge” video snippets.
 

 
In a legal skirmish that seemingly never ends, Dish Network has been ordered to pay another $200 million to Tivo for issuing DVRs to customers that infringed upon Tivo’s patents while a court-ordered injunction was in force. The latest U.S. District Court ruling brings total damages and sanctions in the case against EchoStar to approximately $400 million. Dish announced that it would appeal the ruling.
 

A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE IAB MIXX 2009

 
With price the principle barrier to entry for most prospective e-book reader users, a cheap device is really needed to help grow the category. Netbook manufacturer Asus plans to do its part with the touchscreen “Eee Reader,” according to the London Times. The two-screen portable device doubles as an e-reader and internet surfing device and may retail for as little as $165 in the UK later this year.
 
AT&T announced that the iPhone 3G and video-capable 3GS will finally be able to send multimedia messages (MMS) as part of the existing text messaging bundles, beginning Sept. 15. (Text bundles currently cost $5 for 200 messages in the U.S. – sorry, no MMS support for the first-generation iPhone.)
 
Check out Amateur Surgeon, a gory, cheeky iPhone game from AdultSwim.com that combines funny animation with an Operation-style game. You have to operate on a vagrant with blunt tools like a pizza cutter and a stapler after running him down in your pizza delivery van. There’s a free Lite version and a full version for $2.99.
 

 
Kai-Fu Lee, President of Google’s China operations, is leaving his post to run technology-targeted venture capital fund Innovation Works. Investors in the group include WI Harper Group, You Tube founder Steven Chen and Foxcon Technology Group.
 
Yvette Weaver joined digital services firm Dirextion Inc. as Advertising Sales Partner. Her responsibilities include developing and managing local, regional and national ad accounts for the Birmingham, AL-based company. She most recently served as a Senior Account Executive with Birmingham’s WBRC-TV FOX6.
 

A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE THE WALTER KAITZ FOUNDATION

 
This time the cynics were wrong. Spotify, the fastest growing online music store in Europe, has been approved by Apple as an iPhone app in the U.S., despite the perceived threat it poses to Apple’s own iTunes music store. The $16/month Spotify Mobile service, also now available for Google’s Android OS, allows you to stream music from a library of nearly 6 million tracks and stores playlists or songs to your phone to listen to when you’re not connected to the network. One of the cool things about Spotify is that it synchs with the Spotify desktop interface automatically, without having to plug your iPhone in using a USB cable. It could be that Apple is reading the writing on the wall, so to speak, that more digitally-savvy regulators are now in place in Washington, regulators who have already voiced concern about the exclusive deal Apple has cut with AT&T for distribution of the phone in the U.S. The App Store also approved Vonage’s Voice-over-IP app last week which, like the Skype app, allows users to place off-network calls using a WiFi connection.
