connection with this case.
7.
On March 28, 2011, I used the application Shazam on my iPhone to
test what result would obtain if I played the original version of Take a Dive into the
phone’s microphone. Shazam did not recognize the original version of Take a
Dive, and the message that was displayed on my phone’s screen as a result was:
“Sorry, a match couldn’t be found for your music.”
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of
California and the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct.
Executed this 2nd day of April, 2012, at Chicago, Illinois.
