NOTICE

1

WHEREAS, since the time of the filing of the original Complaint by plaintiffs

2 in this case, numerous artists and other copyright owners have approached plaintiff
3 Alki David about potentially joining this lawsuit as plaintiffs;
4

WHEREAS, as a result, the current plaintiffs intend to amend and are in the

5 process of working to amend this suit to add further plaintiffs and additional
6 copyrighted works;
7

WHEREAS, the artists and copyright owners who have expressed interest in

8 joining this action as plaintiffs together own many thousands of songs and other
9 copyrighted works;
10

WHEREAS, plaintiffs are assessing and analyzing these voluminous

11 additional copyrighted works for inclusion in the amended suit, which is a time
12 consuming process; and
13

WHEREAS, because the amended suit is expected to substantially expand

14 and change the current suit, it is also more efficient and more convenient for the
15 Court and the parties to proceed on the basis of the amended suit instead the current
16 Complaint;
17

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) of the Federal Rules of

18 Civil Procedure, plaintiffs hereby give notice that they voluntarily dismiss the
19 above-captioned action, without prejudice, as against Defendants CBS Interactive
20 Inc., CNET Networks, Inc., Lime Wire LLC, and Lime Group LLC and that they
21 intend to file a further action with additional plaintiffs.
