YOUTUBE, INC., YOUTUBE, LLC and GOOGLE, INC., Defendants. Case No. 07 Civ. 3582 (LLS) THE MUSIC FORCE MEDIA GROUP LLC, THE MUSIC FORCE LLC, AND SIN-DROME RECORDS, LTD.'S RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS TO DEFENDANTS' FIRST SET OF REQUESTS FOR ADMISSION Pursuant to Rule 36(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Named Plaintiff The Music Force Media Group LLC, The Music Force LLC, and Sin-Drome Records, Ltd. (collectively, "Music Force") hereby responds and objects to the Requests for Admission (the 1 Confidential "Requests") propounded by Defendants YouTube, Inc., YouTube LLC and Google, Inc. ("YouTube" or "Defendants"). GENERAL OBJECTIONS The following general objections and statements ("General Objections") apply to each of the particular Requests propounded by Defendants and are hereby incorporated within each response set forth below. All of the responses set forth below are subject to and do not waive the General Objections: 1. Music Force objects to the Requests on the ground that Music Force is still in the process of gathering and analyzing information relevant to these Requests. Music Force has not completed its review and analysis of all discovery obtained by the parties in this and the related Viacom action. Additionally, defendants and non-parties have produced more than 1.5 million pages of documents since October 13, 2009. Music Force has not yet examined each document produced by defendants or otherwise in this action for the purpose of determining which individual allegations of the Second Amended Class Action Complaint ("Complaint") it might support, nor has Music Force completed depositions that may more fully reveal facts and information relevant to these Requests. As discovery is not yet closed, including deposition and expert discovery, and the production of remaining data and/or documents, Music Force's responses to these Requests is preliminary and tentative subject to completion of discovery and following an adequate opportunity to review and analyze all discovery in this action. 2. In responding to these Requests, Music Force does not concede the relevance, materiality or admissibility of any of the admissions or responses sought herein. Music Force's responses are made subject to and without waiving any objections as to relevancy, materiality, admissibility, vagueness, ambiguity, competency or privilege. 2 Confidential 3. Music Force does not waive any of its rights to object on any ground to the use of its responses herein. 4. Music Force objects to the Requests to the extent that they set forth compound, conjunctive or disjunctive statements. 5. Music Force objects to the each request, instruction or definition to the extent that they seek to impose obligations beyond those imposed or authorized by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Civil Local Rules of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ("Civil Local Rules"), or the applicable standing orders and orders of this Court. 6. Music Force objects to the each request, instruction or definition to the extent that they seek information, documents, or other materials that are neither relevant to the subject matter of this action, nor reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. 7. Music Force objects to the each request, instruction or definition to the extent that they seek information, documents, or other materials protected by the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, or any other applicable privilege or immunity. 8. Music Force objects to the each request, instruction or definition to the extent that they seek documents or information generated or compiled by or at the direction of Music Force's counsel. 9. Music Force objects to the each request, instruction or definition to the extent that they seek information which is publicly available or which is already within Defendants' possession, custody or control. 10. Music Force objects to the each request, instruction or definition to the extent that they are vague, ambiguous, overly broad or unduly burdensome. 3 Confidential 11. Music Force objects to the each request, instruction or definition to the extent that they purport to require separate responses for each "Accused Clip" as compound and unduly burdensome. 12. Music Force objects to each request to the extent that they fail to specify an applicable time period and are thereby vague, ambiguous and overbroad. 13. Music Force objects to each request as premature to the extent that it calls for expert opinion, particularly with respect to requests that require a legal conclusion. 14. Music Forces object to the each request, instruction or definition to the extent that they purport to require Music Forces to respond to Defendants' characterizations of legal contentions or call for the application of law to fact to the extent such request seeks disclosure of privileged information. 15. Music Force objects to the definitions of "the MF Entities", "you" and "your" as overly broad and unduly burdensome, and further objects to the extent it seeks to impose obligations broader than those specified by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26, and Civil Local Rule 26.3(c)(5). Music Force further objects on the grounds that the definition includes an unknown and unknowable number of "present and former agents, employees, representatives, accountants, investigators, attorneys," "person[s] acting or purporting to act on its behalf", and "other person[s] otherwise subject to its control, which controls it, or is under common control with them." Moreover, this definition includes "affiliates," "divisions," and "units" without any explanation of those terms' meaning. Music Force further objects to the extent these definitions call for privileged information and to the extent they seek information outside of Plaintiffs' possession, custody or control. In responding to the requests, Plaintiffs will construe the terms 4 Confidential "the MF Entities", "you" and "your" to mean Named Plaintiffs collectively referred to herein as Music Force. 16. Music Force objects to the definitions of "Work(s) In Suit" and "Accused Clip(s)" as compound, vague and ambiguous. Music Force further objects to the extent these definitions call for privileged information. Music Force further objects to the definitions of "Work(s) In Suit" and "Accused Clip(s)" to the extent such definitions attempt to limit the number or identity of infringed works or instances of infringement for which Music Force seeks recovery. As set forth at paragraph 74 of the Second Amended Complaint, the infringed works specified by Music Force in this litigation are "representative of Protected Works that are and have been infringed by Defendants and/or YouTube's users." Similarly, the infringements identified in Exhibit A to the Complaint and within the Complaint are representative and not an exhaustive list of the ongoing and massive infringement by defendants. Music Force reserves all rights to identify additional infringements and infringed works. 17. Music Force objects to the definition of "substantially DMCA-compliant takedown notice" on the grounds that such definition vague and ambiguous as it requires a qualitative judgment and lacks common or ready definition. 18. Music Force objects to the definition of "YouTube Copyright Protection Service" on the grounds that such definition vague and ambiguous as it requires a qualitative judgment and lacks common or ready definition. 19. Where Music Force indicates a lack of information or knowledge sufficient to admit or deny a specific request, this lack of information or knowledge follows a reasonable inquiry by Music Force, and the information known or readily obtainable by Music Force is insufficient to enable the party to admit or deny. 5 Confidential 20. Music Force reserves the right to supplement or amend these responses. These responses should not be construed as, and do not constitute, a waiver of Music Force's right to prove additional facts at summary judgment or trial or any other rights. 21. These general objections are continuing and are incorporated by reference in Music Force's answers to each of the Requests set forth below. Any objection or lack of objection to any portion of these Requests is not an admission. Music Force reserves the right to amend, supplement, modify, or correct these responses and objections as appropriate.
