Napster asks Congress for online catalogs
WASHINGTON — Embattled music trading service Napster asked Congress yesterday to force publishers to offer their catalogs online.
There is a "failure in the marketplace," Napster interim chief Hank Barry told the Senate Judiciary Committee.
He said compulsory licenses would provide consumers more than the smattering of songs now available
online and simultaneously assure that publishers and artists are compensated for their work.
"Congress has repeatedly used such licenses to advance public policy goals in the context of new and frequently inefficient marketplaces," Barry testified. "Compulsory licenses with clear payment structures have encouraged beneficial new technologies and responded effectively to particular market failures. Music on the radio works because of what is functionally a compulsory license."
Representatives for major music labels and Jack Valenti of the Motion Picture Association of America panned the idea.
Hillary Rosen, who represents the music publishers' trade group, called the possibility of compulsory federal licenses a disaster for the music industry.
"Government price-fixing never works," Valenti told the committee.

American diplomats see spy plane crew
HAIKOU, China — China allowed American diplomats to meet the crew of a U.S. spy plane yesterday for the first time since the plane landed on Chinese soil after a collision with a Chinese fighter jet, but there was no sign when they would be allowed to return home.
China's Xinhua news agency released pictures of the damaged Navy EP-3E at an air base on the southern island of Hainan, where the craft made an emergency landing after the collision, which left the Chinese pilot missing.
The pictures showed the plane's left-most propeller broken and tears on the underside of its left wing.
"The entire crew is in good health," said Army Brig. Gen. Neal Sealock, the U.S. Embassy defense attaché, one of two diplomats who visited the crew members. "They are being well taken care of."
"Our goal is to get them home as soon as possible."
China blamed the United States for the collision and demanded an apology.
President Jiang Zemin demanded that the United States stop surveillance flights off China's coast.

Criminal investigations widen against Milosevic
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — A defiant Slobodan Milosevic denounced his arrest as "politically staged" in an appeal that contained a startling admission — that the former president financed Serb rebellions that bloodied Bosnia and Croatia in the 1990s.
Milosevic, jailed in Belgrade's Central Prison as authorities build a case of alleged corruption and abuse of power against him, demanded his release in a statement written from his cell Monday.
Answering accusations that he illegally channeled millions of dollars to secret funds, Milosevac acknowledged for the first time that he funneled cash to ethnic Serb forces in neighboring Bosnia and Croatia, who unsuccessfully fought to prevent those republics from breaking away from the former Yugoslavia.
Four dead, 300 injured in Bangladesh strikes
DHAKA, Bangladesh — Violent clashes in Bangladesh have killed four people and injured 300 as a general strike intended to force Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation shut down cities throughout Bangladesh for a third day yesterday
Bangladesh for a third day yesterday. Opposition activists and government supporters have both used guns and homemade bombs since the strike began Sunday, a working day in Bangladesh, closing businesses and schools and halting most traffic in the capital, Dhaka, and 60 other cities and towns.
Police have detained close to 300 protesters.
Strikers yesterday smashed scores of tricycle rickshaws for defying the protest by seeking customers. Commuters, mostly government employees, used the rickshaws to travel to work as buses and private cars stayed off the streets.
Three strike-related deaths were reported on Monday in the southern districts of Chittagong, Brahmanghar and Chowmahoni.

Semantics delay arson trial
By Lauren Brandenburg

Whether a 19-year-old Lawrence man will stand trial on charges of arson and burglary remained up in the air yesterday afternoon.
Thomas R. Cale Jr. is charged with arson in connection with a fire at the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity house, 1941 Stewart Ave. He also is accused of stealing items from the house.
Two things made the case's future uncertain: whether the vacant fraternity house could be
considered a dwelling and whether the arson statute only applied to dwellings.
The fraternity members were not living in the house this school year so improvements could be made, testified Scot Hill, president and board of directors member of the alumni organization that owns the house.
Cale's defense attorney, Joyce Hailie Selassie, argued the house was no longer a dwelling at the time of the fire, as dwellings are structures presently used or intended for use.
Dennis Leslie, the lead fire investigator for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical, testified Cale had told him in an interview that he, his brother and his brother's friend had lighted candles inside the house and looked for items to steal before running out of the house.
He said Cale later told a police officer that, "I have a problem with fire. It's in my head a lot."
Judge Robert Fairchild said he would need to look at the statute for arson before he could make his decision.
