Entertainment RESPONDING PARTIES: Defendants Hotfile Corporation and Anton Titov (collectively “Hotfile”)1 SET NO.: One (1) 1 The Defendants reserve their respective rights to assert all appropriate separate defenses. In particular, Mr. Titov has moved to dismiss all claims against him individually and specifically denies that he has the ability to supervise any alleged infringing activity or has a financial interest in such activity. See Motion and Memorandum Etc., filed 3/31/11, Dkt. 50 at 17. Mr. Titov is included in the shorthand term “Hotfile” along with Hotfile Corp. solely as a convenience and in light of the Parties agreement “that discovery requests served by one side on the opposing side will be equally applicable to all parties on the other side.” Joint Scheduling Conference Report, filed 4/15/11, Dkt. 54 at 16. Nothing in these responses is an admission by Anton Titov or Hotfile Corp. of any particular relationship between them or any other fact. 26501\2633554.1 CASE NO. 11-20427-JORDAN GENERAL OBJECTIONS 1. Hotfile has not completed its investigation of facts, witnesses or documents relating to this case, has not completed discovery, has not completed analysis of available information, and has not completed preparation for trial. Hotfile reserves the right to supplement its response to each and every interrogatory (or part thereof) without obligating itself to do so, and reserves the right to introduce and rely upon such information in the course of this litigation. 2. All of the responses set forth below are based solely on such information and documents that are available to and specifically known to Hotfile at this time. It is anticipated that further discovery, independent investigation, and analysis may lead to substantial additions or changes in, and variations from the responses set forth herein. 3. Hotfile objects to each interrogatory to the extent that it is vague, ambiguous, overbroad, and requires an unduly burdensome search for and production of, documents or information neither relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action nor reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, and which will result in unnecessary burden and undue expense to Hotfile. 4. Hotfile objects each interrogatory to the extent that it seeks disclosure of information or documents protected from disclosure or production by the attorney-client privilege, the attorney work-product doctrine, or any other privilege available under statutory, constitutional or common law. Inadvertent production of any such information or documents shall not constitute waiver of any privilege or any other ground for objecting to discovery with respect to such information or documents, nor shall inadvertent production waive Hotfile’s right to object to the use of any such information or documents in any proceedings. 5. Hotfile objects to each interrogatory to the extent that it seeks electronically stored information that is not reasonably accessible to Hotfile because of undue burden or cost. 6. Hotfile objects to each interrogatory to the extent that it calls for disclosure of private, proprietary, and confidential information. Hotfile will not produce private, proprietary, and/or confidential information or documents unless and until a Protective Order is issued in this 2 26501\2633554.1 CASE NO. 11-20427-JORDAN litigation. Hotfile reserves its right to object to disclosure of any private, proprietary, and confidential information in light of the terms of the Protective Order in this litigation or based on any state, federal, or international standards or laws governing privacy. 7. Hotfile objects to each interrogatory to the extent it seeks proprietary information of third parties which Hotfile is not authorized to disclose. Hotfile will not produce private, proprietary, and/or confidential information or documents unless and until a Protective Order is issued in this litigation. Hotfile further reserves the right to object to the disclosure of any information protected by any state, federal, or international standards or laws governing privacy. 8. Hotfile objects to the Definition of “Hotfile users” as vague, ambiguous, and overbroad. As currently defined, that term purportedly refers to every internet user who has ever accessed the Hotfile.com website for any purpose, irrespective of whether a given individual has actually downloaded files from or uploaded files to Hotfile.com. To the extent that Plaintiffs’ interrogatories seek information regarding or related to all such internet users, such interrogatories are unduly burdensome and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. 9. Hotfile objects to the Definition of “You” as overbroad. As currently defined, that term would include any entity, business venture, or organization subject to any Defendant’s control (assuming any such entity, business venture or organization exists), irrespective of whether such entity has any relation or relevance to the present dispute. To the extent that Plaintiffs’ interrogatories seek information regarding or related to irrelevant entities, such interrogatories are unduly burdensome and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. 10. Hotfile objects to the Definition of “Hotfile entity” as overbroad. As currently defined, that term would include any entity, business venture, or organization subject to any Defendant’s control (assuming any such entity, business venture or organization exists), irrespective of whether such entity has any relation or relevance to the present dispute. To the extent that Plaintiffs’ interrogatories seek information regarding or related to all such entities, 3 26501\2633554.1 CASE NO. 11-20427-JORDAN such requests are unduly burdensome and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. 11. Hotfile objects to the providing of information about activities outside the United States as overbroad and unduly burdensome. “Federal copyright law has no extraterritorial effect, and cannot be invoked to secure relief for acts of infringement occurring outside the United States.” Palmer v. Braun, 376 F.3d 1254, 1258 (11th Cir. 2004). Hotfile objects to all interrogatories that seek information related to conduct occurring outside the United States. 12. Hotfile objects to each interrogatory to the extent it imposes on Hotfile obligations that exceed or are inconsistent with the obligations imposed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 13. Hotfile objects to each interrogatory to the extent it imposes on Hotfile obligations that are inconsistent with United States or foreign privacy laws. 14. All responses to these interrogatories are made without in any way waiving or intending to waive, but on the contrary preserving and intending to preserve: a. all objections as to the competence, relevance, and admissibility of any documents or information produced in response to these interrogatories as evidence for any purpose in subsequent proceedings or at the trial of this or any other action, arbitration, proceeding or investigation; b. the right to object on any ground at any time to the use of any of the documents or information provided in response to these interrogatories, or the subject matter thereof, in any subsequent proceedings or at any trial(s) of this action, or any other action, arbitration, proceeding or investigation; and c. the right to object on any ground at any time to a demand for further responses to these interrogatories or any other requests, or to other discovery proceedings involving or relating to the subject matter of these interrogatories. 15. The general objections stated herein are incorporated by reference into each response herein, as if fully set forth below. While Hotfile has responded to this interrogatory for 4 26501\2633554.1 CASE NO. 11-20427-JORDAN production, it does so without waiving any right to object to any further inquiry or any effort to compel responses beyond those provided herein. Any response provided herein is subject to, and limited by, all general and specific objections stated herein. RESPONSES TO INTERROGATORIES INTERROGATORY NO. 2: Identify each individual or entity that you contend has ever acted as a DMCA agent for the Hotfile Website or any Hotfile Entity; including: a) The date you contend the person commenced (and, if applicable, concluded) acting as a DMCA agent for the Hotfile Website or any Hotfile Entity; b) The date on which a designation of the person’s status as DMCA agent was filed with the copyright office; and c) The date on which the person’s status as DMCA agent was first listed on the Hotfile Website. AMENDED SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 2: Hotfile has conducted further investigation in response to this interrogatory and discovered additional responsive information. Hotfile has reviewed the available Archive.org screen captures of hotfile.com to reconstruct to the best of its present ability the requested historical information about the listing of DMCA agents on the website. Hotfile hereby supplements and amends its previous original and supplemental responses. This response supersedes and replaces Hotfile’s previous responses to this Interrogatory No. 2. Hotfile incorporates by reference its general objections to this interrogatory. Hotfile further objects to this interrogatory as overbroad and unduly burdensome to the extent that it seeks information pertaining to any “Hotfile Entity” as that term is defined in the Definitions and Instructions. As currently defined, that term would include any entity, business venture, or organization subject to any Defendant’s control (assuming any such entity, business venture or organization exists), irrespective of whether such entity has any relation or relevance to the present dispute. 5 26501\2633554.1 CASE NO. 11-20427-JORDAN Subject to those general and specific objections, Hotfile responds as follows: The hotfile.com website has had in a location available to the public an effective method to receive and process notices of claimed infringement and/or requests to takedown files since its launch in February 2009. For example, a screen shot of the terms of service as it appeared on February 23, 2009 as shown on the Archive.org website screen capture attached as Exhibit A shows a link at the bottom of the page to “Report Abuse” to initiate Hotfile.com’s notice and takedown procedure. Any message received from the “Report Abuse” link was forwarded for handling to an individual acting on behalf of Hotfile. Such individuals included Andrei Ianokov. The identity of other such individuals, if any, may be derived from the contents of the “abuse@hotfile.com” mailbox; Plaintiffs are directed to those documents to be produced pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 33(d). By sometime in March or April 2009, Hotfile.com had posted on its website a written description of this already-implemented notice and takedown procedure, specifically citing DMCA requirements. For example, an Archive.org screen capture on April 24, 2009 (attached as Exhibit B) stated in part that “Hotfile.com will follow the procedures provided in the DCMA [sic] to properly enforce rights of copyright holders,” and with respect to a designated agent, “To exercise your DMCA rights, your Proper DMCA Notice must be sent to Designated Agent of hotfile.com to email: abuse@hotfile.com.” See Exhibit B. Emails sent to the abuse@hotfile.com address continued to be forwarded for handling to an individual acting on behalf of Hotfile. Such individuals included Andrei Ianokov. As noted above, Hotfile will produce documents from its “abuse” mailbox and directs Plaintiffs to those documents pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 33(d). Defendants are informed and believe that both the terms of service and DMCA notice page were accessible to the public and appeared substantially in the forms attached as Exhibits A and B on the website beginning in the early months of operation of hotfile.com, and that at all times since hotfile.com has made available through its service, including on its website in a location accessible to the public for use by copyright owners, a designated agent that could be contacted at the abuse@hotfile.com email box. 6 26501\2633554.1 CASE NO. 11-20427-JORDAN Constantin Luchian has acted as a designated DMCA agent for Hotfile since December 8, 2009. His formal designation as DMCA agent was filed with the Copyright Office on December 17, 2009 and was registered as of December 24, 2009. Hotfile is informed and believes that Mr. Luchian's name and status as DMCA agent was first listed on the Hotfile.com website in early May 2010 and has been listed on the website ever since.
