The Virgin music retailer in France has been fined 600,000 euros (756,000 dollars) for illegally downloading a Madonna song to resell it on its own pay-per-tune site. A Paris industrial court imposed the penalty on the company's VirginMega.fr subsidiary after finding it ignored an exclusive contract between Warner Music France and France Telecom and its mobile unit Orange by copying Madonna's song Hung Up and retailing itself in October last year. France Telecom and Orange had bought sole rights to sell the song online for a week in France from Warner for 500,000 euros, according to the court's ruling given last Friday. The verdict ordered VirginMega to pay 100,000 euros to Warner, and 250,000 euros each to France Telecom and Orange. Warner Music France welcomed the result, saying it had succeeded in "having its rights and those of its artist respected". Virgin France, though, argued that the judgement "confirmed the need to do everything to help build a balanced market for legal downloads". It and another major French music retailer, FNAC, have criticised recent moves by recording companies to farm out top selling singles to Internet and mobile operators first under exclusive contracts. Virgin France was bought from Britain's Virgin Group in 2001 by the French conglomerate Lagardere.

Montreal was the place the Confessions Tour and the world of Formula One collided. Madonna's tour stop in Montreal came at the same time as the Montreal Grand Prix and both Madonna and racing driver Michael Schumacher stayed at the Hotel St. James. Schumacher himself was heard to say he was happy Madonna was staying there as he could slip in and out of the hotel almost unnoticed! German newspaper TZ München published this story (see below) in the sports section of the newspaper about Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg both attending the Confessions Tour show! The tour hits Germany on August 22nd & 23rd http://www.madonnalicious.com/images/extra/2006/tzmunchen_montreal.jpg
