6. Additionally, Real continues to help people copy DVDs. Attached hereto as Exhibits A-C are a true and correct copies of pages from RealNetworks' online RealDVD Customer Support forum, located at http://real.lithium.com/real/board?board.id=RealDVD. In these posts, a RealNetworks employee -- "NinjaClick" -- advises several RealDVD owners how to copy DVDs and reinstall RealDVD. Of course, this is all months after this court's October 3 TRO. 7. Likewise, Real has continually marketed and promoted RealDVD -- both in the media and at conferences -- since the TRO. I am informed, for example, that Real had a prominent display promoting RealDVD at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas three weeks back. Real's executives also continue to advertise to the press and the public that this Court will lift the TRO at the preliminary injunction hearing.
