    I, Dr. J.A. Pouwelse, will provide expert testimony

    regarding peer-to-peer file-sharing networks, the procedures

    required to be adopted to accurately identify users and activity

    on a file-sharing network, the Plaintiffs failure to adopt such

    procedures, and the inaccuracies and flawed assertions in the

    expert testimony submitted by Dr. Doug Jacobsen. Furthermore, I

    will also provide testimony on alternatives to file-sharing

    networks to obtain digital music, the cost of obtaining such

    music and financial impact of downloading through peer-to-peer

    file-sharing networks.

    I will testify to the following:

    i. the technical characteristics of peer-to-peer file-sharing networks and their relevance in determining

    the identity of users on the file-sharing network,

    specifically in refuting factual assertions made by

    expert witness Doug Jacobsen;

    ii. the structure of Internet IP addresses and the use ofprivate non-globally unique IP addresses in peer-to-

    peer file sharing networks, which were not properly

    considered by Plaintiffs expert;

    iii. the procedures required to be undertaken in order toestablish whether a certain computer is being used to

    make copyrighted works available for download via a

    peer-to-peer network,

    xii. the general lack of professionalism inherent in Dr.Jacobsens expert report which makes the report

    unacceptable based on relevant technical and

    scientific standards.

    investigating the next-generation of peer-to-peer technology,

    called P2P-Next. As of March 2009 I also am technical director

    of a 6.8 Million Euro project investigating the purest form of

    peer-to-peer technology self-organizing systems in the

    QLectives project. Both projects are sponsored by research

    grants from the European Union under the 7th Framework program.

    Hello Charlie:

    I am following up on our conference regarding Defendant's witness disclosures under Rule26(a)(2). While Plaintiffs have serious questions concerning the admissibility of any testimony

    from these witnesses under Rules 403 and 702, as a threshold matter, the disclosures provided by

    Defendant do not satisfy Rule 26(a)(2)(B). Among other things, they fail to provide a statement

    of the "opinions to be expressed and the basis and reasons therefor as well as a listing of thedata or other information considered by the witness in forming them. See Fed. R. Civ. P.

    26(a)(2)(B).

    The disclosure for Dr. J.A. Pouwelse fails to contain the information required under Rule

    any actual opinions or the basis for such opinions. Also, in section II of Dr. Pouwelse's report,items xii and xiii fail to identify the actual data considered.

    The disclosure for John G. Palfrey fails to contain the information required under Rule26(a)(2)(B)(i), (ii), (iv), and (v). Like Dr. Pouwelse, Mr. Palfrey's report lists topics, but does

    not provide any actual opinions or the basis for such opinions. Mr. Palfrey's report also fails toidentify the data considered, contains no list of publications, and does not specify whether Mr.

    Palfrey has ever testified as an expert at trial or deposition on any topic.

    The disclosure for John Perry Barlow fails to contain the information required under Rule

    26(a)(2)(B)(i), (ii), and (iv). Mr. Barlow's report does not provide any basis for his opinions,does not list the data considered, and does not list any qualifications or publications.

    As we discussed, please let me know whether Defendant will agree to supplement these

    disclosures. In addition, because Plaintiffs cannot complete their expert discovery or determine

    whether rebuttal experts may be necessary until Defendant provides complete disclosures, pleaselet me know whether Defendant will agree to extending the deadline for Plaintiffs' rebuttal

    disclosures and the deadline for completion of discovery.

    If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks very much.

    From: Raymond BilderbeckDate: Sun, Mar 29,2009 at 8:08 PMTo: nesson at law.harvard.eduCc: lessig at pobox. comIf I can weigh in on this, I would have to agree that if the centerpiece of our case at trial is goingto be this "noncommercial fair use" argument to which you seem committed, it would be a bigmistake to call Professor Lessig to the stand. From the sliver of his work that I have read, I gatherthat even if he agreed to say what we would like him to say (which seems unlikely), opposingcounsel would have a field day on cross-examination, given his extensive writings on these issues.When writing the "draft" disclosures in light of your comments on my initial draft, I found myselfwriting more from your perspective on the case than based upon anything I had gleaned fromProfessor Lessig's work. I just assumed that you knew something about Professor Lessig that I didnot. Apparently, this is not the case.All of this looks very bad from my perspective. I think that introducing our experts at this latestage to the very novel argument that we intend to raise at trial - an argument which has no realbasis in case law or moderate academic scholarship - is a blunder that could have very seriousconsequences. At this point, I have no idea what our disclosures will look like. And they have to

    AMENDED DECLARATION OF JOHN PERRY BARLOW

    1. I, John Perry Barlow, am the vice-chairman of the

    board of directors of the Electronic Freedom Foundation, an

    organization I co-founded in 1990. Since May of 1998, I have

    been a Fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. I

    am a poet and musician, and between 1971 and 1995, I was a

    lyricist for the Grateful Dead, a well renowned American music

    group. I previously served on the masthead of Wired magazine. In

    the past I have contributed articles to Wired, the New York

    Times, and Communications of the Association for Computing

    Machinery. I speak, consult, and write for a living. These

    positions and experiences qualify me to speak about the fairness

    of peer-to-peer file sharing in the context of the recording

    industry and the technological environment in which such actions

    occur.

    2. Given my personal experiences in the music industry,

    and my position as a public intellectual in discourse on

    copyright, music, and technology, I am able to testify about the

    historical context of the record industrys anti-file sharing

    campaign, its larger merits and shortcomings, and the social

    implications of litigation such as that before this court. I am,

    in particular, aware of how the economics of file-sharing can

    work to the great benefit of musicians and creators. The

    Grateful Dead allowed our fans to tape our concerts, essentially

    giving our music away for free. In doing so, we essentially

    invented viral marketing, solving an advertising problem that

    our record companies were never to address and becoming

    enormously successful in the process.

    3. I will testify that the Internet, and peer-to-peer

    technology in particular, allow us to do that which we, as

    humans, fundamentally need to do: share art. I will explain how

    digital technology has finally freed us from the physical medium

    of CDs and other increasingly antiquated mediums, how this

    36/55

    conversion challenges conventional application of the

    institution of copyright, and why this natural evolution should

    be welcomed.

    4. I will testify that the music industry will never be

    endangered because, for reasons I will not presume to know with

    certainty, we as humans absolutely require music, and because in

    the music business as I know it, familiarity, not scarcity,

    creates value. I will explain why this means that the industry

    surrounding music will never cease to exist in some form. I will

    explain that the online world presents us with a gift economy,

    where no moral blameworthiness attaches to non-commercial

    sharing, and I will explain why this does not threaten the music

    industry.

    5. I will testify that the recording industry is

    complicit in allowing itself to hold on to antiquated business

    models rather than adjust to the changing landscape around them.

    I will explain why the recording industry must evolve and why it

    is improper for the industry to attempt to institutionalize

    stagnation through their litigation and legislation efforts.

    6. I will present no exhibits at trial.

    7. I have not presented expert testimony, neither by

    deposition nor at trial, in the past four years.

    8. I am receiving no compensation for my testimony in

    this case.

    9. I have no publications that I must list.

    10. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of

    the United States of America that the foregoing is true and

    correct.
