Phillip Cocu’s side were evidently buoyed by Rooney’s presence as the five-time Premier League winner pulled the strings at Pride Park. Rooney laid on the opener for Jack Marriott on the stroke of half-time, delivering a fine free-kick from the left that only needed a helping touch in the right direction....

Confused? You should be. After years of wrangling, a landmark copyright agreement announced last week could open the door to an audio “format war” as ferocious as the VHS vs. Beta video battle waged a decade ago. Until now, musicians, songwriters and record companies have been reluctant to back new digital, distortion-free successors to the standard audio cassette. The fear? That near perfect home recording on digital tape will cut into sales of CDs and prerecorded cassettes....
