-- Rhapsody, the online music service, with four major labels, launches a new MP3 store today without digital rights management. Songs are $1 and albums $10 dollars -- the catalog includes 5 million songs. Meanwhile, Verizon Wireless will offer unlimited downloads to its mobile devices for $15 a month. [AP]
-- Google teams up with Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane to distribute his new Web-only program using its AdSense advertising system. [NYT]
-- Verizon, Google, Cisco and Hewlett-Packard have formed a group called "Allied Security Trust," to preemptively buy up patents that could otherwise be used against them. The entrance fee is $250,000, plus $5 million in escrow. [WSJ]
-- A BitTorrent "seed farmer" has been found guilty of copyright infringement and faces 10 years in prison. Twenty-six year old Daniel Dove apparently led a small group of hackers who uploaded software, music and video games for others to download on the peer to peer network. [Ars Technica]
