Show hhiw 2 Sun Advocate Price, Utah Thursday October 3, 2002 Attorney general explains On Monday, Utah Attorney Group Inc EMI Musk Distrik bution, Warner-Corporation, Sony Music Entertainment Inc., Universal Musk Group and national retail chains Transworld Entertainment Corporation, Ibwer Records and Muskland Stores Corporation.' According to the attorney generals office, the defendants deny the allegations. According to the Utah Attorney Generals Office, the settlement in the lawsuit has three major components: Sales practice changes - the defendants have agreed to an injunction preventing the companies from forcing retailers to increase compact disk prices and ensuring string price on page 8) for each CD purchase. The practice of artificially hiking CD prices is a real sour note for the music industry, pointed out assistant attorney general Wayne Klein, who represented Utah in the litigation. "The settlement will make sure music lovers don't pay inflated prices and it will also bring lots of great CDs to Utah charities, schools and libraries. Utah, along with 41 other states and three territories filed an antitrust lawsuit in federal court in August 2000. The lawsuit alleged that the defendants limited retailers from selling popular CDs at discount prices. The civil complaint identifies the defendants as music distributors Bertelsmann Music General Mark Shurtleff an nounced a settlement with five of the largest distributors of compact disks in the United States and the three largest re tailers for allegedly conspiring to raise the price of prerecorded music. The distributors, including affiliated labels, and retailers have agreed a pay $67,375,000 in cash, provide $75,700,000 worth of CDs and promise not to engage in sales practices that would artificially hike retail prices. Utah will get 43,500 compact disks to distribute to charitable groups, schools and li- braries. In addition, Utah consumers will be able to file a claim settlement CD Elcktra-Atlan-t- I .

Shook also explained that following the initial test phase, additional city departments may also wish to add the system to their programs. "I can see practical applications for the fire department, the water and sewer department and building department patrol cars with the laptop - nob-onl- times. Several towers will be installed and located around the Price city area . The towers will not only allow officers to utilize the system from almost every location within the city, but also eliminate the need for wanted telephone lines. Officers will be able to sit in their patrol cars and look up valuable information such as warrants and records. - The state crime data base will be available aft well as the ' Sun Advocate .

The police lieutenant also mentioned that he was aware that at least one other city in Carbon County is looking at the same technology. "They may even get on the air before us even though they started later. We are being very thorough with our research on the equipment we purchase, however. Even the cheaper stuff is expensive and wie cant afford to buy it twice, explained the police lieutenant "I have also heard many sad stories of departments who bought regular laptops and they just didnt perform or broke due to vibrations and dust We are putting forth every effort to avoid this from happening, explained Shook. As the Price police, department takes a leap toward upgrading its technology, the department is also increasing the productivity of its workforce. With more hours spent in the field as opposed to hours spent in the office, the Price police will provide added security to its residents. "We hope to have this system fully operational by the end of the month, in fact it may be even sooner. By the time that we are done however each Price City patrol vehicle will be equipped with this technology, concluded Shook. warrant. court-issue- 72-ho- ur Price); ' , 2 p.m. Sept 30.
