Attached hereto as Exhibit 109 is Appendix A to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary
Judgment against Hotfile Corp. and Anton Titov, a demonstrative showing that the larger a file
is, the more likely the file is infringing. Information contained in this exhibit is based on data
provided by Dr. Ian Foster, showing, for example, that more than
of files larger than

is described at SUF 16(a)(xi).
111.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 110 is Appendix B to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary
Judgment against Hotfile Corp. and Anton Titov, a demonstrative illustrating the results of a
13
statistical analysis conducted by Dr. Richard Waterman. Based on a representative sample of
files downloaded daily from Hotfile.com, Dr. Waterman concluded that more than 90% of daily
downloads from Hotfile were downloads of files classified as highly likely infringing. Further
explanation of the information contained in this exhibit is described at SUF 10(a)(i).
112.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 111 is Appendix C to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary
Judgment against Hotfile Corp. and Anton Titov, a demonstrative comparing the results of the

Judgment against Hotfile Corp. and Anton Titov, a demonstrative illustrating the upload activity
of the users whose files were selected in the sample in Dr. Richard Waterman’s statistical
analysis. More than

on Hotfile has been downloaded, the more likely that the file is to be removed for reasons related
to copyright infringement. Further explanation of the information contained in this exhibit is
described at SUF 10(a)(iii).
115.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 114 is Appendix F to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary
Judgment against Hotfile Corp. and Anton Titov, a demonstrative showing the more files a user
uploads, the more likely that user is engaged in copyright infringement, as evidenced by Hotfile
“strikes,” a notice of infringement, or removal for copyright infringement. Further explanation
of the information contained in this exhibit is described at SUF 10(a)(iv).
116.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 115 is Appendix G to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary
Judgment against Hotfile Corp. and Anton Titov, a demonstrative illustrating the timeline of precomplaint copyright suspensions, and the results of defendants’ failure to implement a “threestrike” termination policy prior to the filing of the Complaint. Based on defendants’ data, there
were
suspensions for copyright reasons prior to the Complaint. In the pre-complaint period,
more than
users had accumulated 3 or more “strikes” and would have been terminated for
copyright infringement had defendants implemented a “three-strike” termination policy prior to
14
the Complaint. Further explanation of the information contained in this exhibit is described at
SUF 4(c) & 5(a).
117.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 116 is Appendix H to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary
Judgment against Hotfile Corp. and Anton Titov, a demonstrative illustrating the user activity of
those users who received more than three “strikes” prior to the Complaint. Dr. Ian Foster
analyzed the files uploaded by these users and determined that these users uploaded a substantial
amount of files, including plaintiffs’ works, which were heavily downloaded. Further
explanation of the information contained in this exhibit is described at SUF 5(a).
118.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 117 is Appendix I to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary
Judgment against Hotfile Corp. and Anton Titov, a demonstrative illustrating data on the top paid
500 Affiliates, of which
have been terminated as repeat infringers based on implementation
of Hotfile’s “three-strike” policy. These top affiliates who have been terminated as repeat
infringers were responsible for uploading almost
that were downloaded
million times. These same affiliates were also the subject of more than
infringement
notices. Further explanation of the information contained in this exhibit is described at SUF
5(b).
119.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 118 is a demonstrative concerning the files from the
statistics study (“statistics file”). At the request of counsel, Dr. Ian Foster provided data that
identified whether another file with a title corresponding to a statistics file had been taken down
for reasons related to copyright infringement (a “title match”), or whether a company identified
as owning the copyright of a statistics file had previously issued a notice of infringement to
Hotfile (a “company match”). Persons under my supervision undertook a manual review of Dr.
Foster’s search results and summarized whether there was a title or company match for each
statistics file. This information is reflected in the “Title Noticed” and “Company Notice” fields
of Exhibit B to the Declaration of Scott A. Zebrak, filed in Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for
Summary Judgment Against Defendants.
120.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 119 and provided in electronic format are true and correct
copies of Schedule A, attached to Plaintiffs’ Third Supplemental Responses and Objections to
Defendant Hotfile Corp.’s Interrogatory No. 1, on Behalf of Universal Studios LLLP (October
11, 2011), and Disney Enterprises (October 12, 2011); and copies of Schedule A attached to
Plaintiffs’ Fourth Supplemental Responses and Objections to Defendant Hotfile Corp.’s
15
Interrogatory No. 1, on Behalf of Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc., Twentieth Century Fox
Film Corporation, and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. (December 23, 2011). In helping to
prepare the response to plaintiffs’ Interrogatory No. 1, persons under my supervision reviewed
data of files uploaded to the Hotfile Website and produced by defendants in the above-captioned
case. Using information such as filename, size, and other metadata, we identified files that
appeared to be copies of plaintiffs’ copyrighted works. The attached Exhibit 119 lists, by
individual plaintiff, the filename and Hotfile URL of each uploaded file that appears to
correspond to one of plaintiffs’ copyrighted works, and the name of the work to which it
corresponds. In total, we identified
files that appear to correspond to copyrighted works
owned by plaintiffs.
16
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
Executed on February 16,2012.
