Let α be an automorphism of a finite von Neumann algebra and let H(α) be its Connes-Størmer's entropy. We show that H(α) = 0 if α is the induced automorphism on the crossed product of a Lebesgue space by a pure point spectrum transformation. We also show that H is not continuous in α and we compute H(α) for some α.
