Despite the fact that PRS for Music slashed its rates, which are due for renewal in June, Pandora founder Tim Westergren says the economics of UK music streaming still prohibit Pandora returning to the country.

The tea brand zoomed past such brands as Apple, Rolex and Jaguar to get to the top of iProspect's Engagement Index, specifically on Facebook. Managementtoday.co.uk reports that nearly 2 in 10 PG Tips fans were active on the brand's page during February, although it could be attributed to a Valentine's Day campaign. But its long-term attitude is what Angus Wood, iProspect's director, attributes to its winning ways.

Celebrating its 15th anniversary this week, the broadcaster says it will extend its TV catch-up player to Android devices, connected TVs and the PS3 this summer.

Google is under fire in the MPs' report into privacy for failing to develop an algorithm that would remove links to content found via searches that are in break of privacy.

The High Court judge who ordered the broadband provider to give personal details of more than 9,000 subscribers to Golden Eye International and porn firm Ben Dover Productions did balk at allowing Golden Eye to demand GBP700 from each of the customers accused of unlawful file sharing.

Calling his tweets "racist abuse via a social networking site," a district judge in Swansea has ordered a university student to serve 56 days in jail. Liam Stacey was arrested after comments he posted on Twitter about the on-pitch collapse of Bolton Wanderers footballer Fabrice Muamba were reported to police from across Britain. He admitted incitement to racial hatred. The 21 year old cried throughout the hearing and was led away in handcuffs.

Seen as a benefit for existing media giants, the "one-stop shop" database of copyright information that could be accessed online would also help small and medium-size businesses launch digital services over broadband and mobile networks, creating the next Spotify or Netflix. Richard Hooper, a former deputy chairman of Ofcom, said, "f the media companies are seen to be doing everything possible to enable and encourage new digital services via easier and more streamlined copyright licensing, then that makes it easier for politicians to be even tougher against copyright infringement."

Chris Cairns was awarded GBP90,000 in libel damages over an accusation of match-fixing which he said turned his achievements to "dust". He had sued Lalit Modi, ex-chairman of Twenty20 franchise the Indian Premier League over an "unequivocal allegation" on Twitter in January 2010. The London High Court judge said that Modi had "singularly failed" to provide any reliable evidence that Cairns was involved in match-fixing or spot- fixing, or even that there were strong grounds for suspicion that he was.
