Iraq attempts to ease U.N. sanctions, isolation
WORLD
UNITED NATIONS — With help from Russia, France and the Arab world, Iraq has ended a de facto air travel embargo. Now it's chipping away at 10-year-old U.N. economic sanctions and seeking more control of its oil riches. Baghdad's high-profile campaign to end its long diplomatic isolation appears to be gaining momentum. Long-closed borders with Jordan and Saudi Arabia are opening up to U.N. approved goods. Dozens of businessmen, officials, scientists, artists and athletes have traveled to Iraq for the first time since its 1990 invasion of Kuwait. Baghdad demanded — and is getting — payment for oil sales in euros instead U.S. dollars, the hated currency of an enemy state.
Peru's president's ally ousted from Congress
LIMA, Peru — Hours after an embattled President Alberto Fujimori left Peru on a diplomatic trip, lawmakers ousted his key ally from her post as Congress president Monday, opening the way for debate on whether to remove Fujimori as well. Fujimori's departure to two summits — one in Brunei and the other in Panama — came amid a growing corruption scandal swirling around his former spy chief and top aide, Vfadimi Montesinos. The scandal weakened Fujimori, forcing his announcement in September that he would step down next July after new elections in the spring. Lawmakers voted 64-51 to remove Martha Hildebrandt, one of Fujimori's staunchest allies, as president of Congress.
MP3.com settles with Universal
Associated Press
NEW YORK — The embattled online music service MP3.com settled its dispute with the last of five major record labels yesterday, agreeing to pay $53.4 million to Universal Music Group for access to its songs.
The Associated Press
Universal is the world's largest record company, with such artists as Dr. Dre, Eminem and Shania Twain.
The settlement was announced as testimony began in the damages phase of a federal trial that already had determined MP3.com willfully violated Universal's copyrights.
to buy a stake in MP3.com. MP3.com chief executive Michael Robertson said.
Under the settlement,
Universal also will get the right
"Our shareholders should be excited about today's development," Robertson said. "It gets us out of the courtroom and into the business of delivering digital music."
The company earlier had reached settlements with the four other major companies — Warner Music Group, BMG, EMI and Sony Music Entertainment — and had arranged licensing deals with each of them.
Hadrian Katz, Universal's lawyer, declined to comment outside court.
MP3.com was sued by the
record labels for its My.MP3.com service, which allows computer users to listen to CDs over the Internet. Members must first prove they paid for the recording by briefly inserting the CD into a computer's CD-ROM drive.
U. S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff ruled in September that MP3.com had intentionally violated the copyrights of the music companies. He awarded Universal $25,000 per CD — or up to $250 million by Universal's count.
The overall amount of the settlements has not been disclosed, but Robertson said it falls within the $170 million the company set aside for legal costs.
