IN THE NEWS: PINK FLOYD PREVAILS IN DOWNLOAD CASE

LONDON (AP) -- Score one for Pink Floyd. The veteran rock band has won a major battle over the way their music is marketed and sold. Britain's High Court has ordered the group's label, EMI, to stop selling downloads of Pink Floyd songs individually -- rather than as whole albums. The group views its work as complete works -- not a bunch of random tracks thrown together. EMI claimed the clause in the group's contract that barred having their albums broken up applied only to physical albums. The judge sided with Pink Floyd -- and ordered the label to pay the group's legal costs, pending a decision on how much EMI must pay in damages.

Rivals like Time Warner Cable, Dish Network, DirecTV, Verizon Communications and others are asking the Federal Communications Commission to change the way broadcasters provide their wares. Last week, a showdown between ABC and Cablevision led to some New York City customers without access to the Academy Awards.
