THE COURT: It often happens that in deciding discovery disputes, I in effect re-write the requests so that they say what I think is fair or appropriate as opposed to what they literally say. What I'm struggling with right now is to decide whether to give him anything or nothing. I'm not inclined to give him nothing, I'm inclined to give him something, and I'm struggling to define a something in a way that's reasonable. MR. SMITH: I understand. My proposal is that he -- that access is okay if it is for the purpose of copying the design, look, feel, whatever other word we want to use, of Facebook's own website, and as long as it is limited to a fair group of people and a fair amount of time, meaning a particular period of time.
