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 filesharing 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 of private non-globally unique IP addresses in peer-topeer file sharing networks, which were not properly considered by Plaintiffs’ expert;
iii.
the procedures required to be undertaken in order to establish whether a certain computer is being used to make copyrighted works available for download via a peer-to-peer network,

IV. My Qualifications, including List of Publications Authored in the Past Ten Years I am an Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, where I lead a research group investigating peer-to-peer technology. Since January 2008 I have been the scientific director of a 19 Million Euro project 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. Due to these grants, my team is at this time the largest peerto-peer research team of its kind in the world. My list of publications is as follows: i.

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 “the data 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 26(a)(2)(B)(i) and (ii). As we discussed, Dr. Pouwelse's report lists topics, but does not provide 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 Rule 26(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 to identify 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, please let 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. Tim Timothy M.

From: Raymond Bilderbeck Date: Sun, Mar 29,2009 at 8:08 PM To: nesson at law.harvard.edu Cc: lessig at pobox. com If I can weigh in on this, I would have to agree that if the centerpiece of our case at trial is going to be this "noncommercial fair use" argument to which you seem committed, it would be a big mistake to call Professor Lessig to the stand. From the sliver of his work that I have read, I gather that even if he agreed to say what we would like him to say (which seems unlikely), opposing counsel 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 myself writing more from your perspective on the case than based upon anything I had gleaned from Professor Lessig's work. I just assumed that you knew something about Professor Lessig that I did not. Apparently, this is not the case. All of this looks very bad from my perspective. I think that introducing our experts at this late stage to the very novel argument that we intend to raise at trial - an argument which has no real basis in case law or moderate academic scholarship - is a blunder that could have very serious consequences. At this point, I have no idea what our disclosures will look like. And they have to

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 industry’s 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

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. this case.
