And as we have repeatedly emphasized, any purported relevance of such data has to be weighed against the privacy interests at stake for the accounts at issue. You agreed during the last call that any non-anonymized watch data produced would be produced pursuant to the new highest level of confidentiality under the protective order, which we believe is important in light of the privacy interests that attach to accounts used for personal viewing. Although we continue to dispute Defendants' claim of relevance, in order to reach agreement and ensure that the watch data for all parties is produced expeditiously, following is a list of YouTube account names, each of which was used by Viacom to upload one or more authorized Viacom marketing clips to YouTube. Assuming we can agree on the wording of an appropriate stipulation, which we discussed briefly on the last call, we agree to the production of non-anonymized data for these accounts for the time period previously agreed by the parties. W e have already made clear that we do not object to the production of watch data for YouTube accounts that were used by BayTSP, Auditude or a viral marketer acting on Viacom's behalf, although we continue to dispute the relevance of such data. W e will circulate a proposed stipulation shortly. beheard bestweekever bestweekevertv BroadwayJoe BroadwayJoe415 chu2007 Damonjohnson Demansr FiveChemical JackassTwoMovie keithhn mosjef73 mysticalgirl8 MTV2 MTV2AllThatRocks mtvnewsinterns MTVSneakAttack NMarketing Paraccount ParamountClassics ParamountGermany paramountpictureshow ParamountVantage ParkMyVibe PinkStrawberry Reaction2006 reno911miami SpikeTV StuntmanForever thinkmtv veehonerockz 1 VH1staff virtualmtv Regards, Scott Scott B.

For Flickr, I don't feel that there are any meaningful ways to promote existing content within their site. However, if we were to get talent or filmmakers to shoot a production diary of sorts, I think this would be something that might attract attention & interest from their users. I'd imagine we could get optimal presence by launching this on a portal or film site, and then once off exclusive the photos could be extended to Flickr as part of a wide distribution. If we were limited to, for instance, one behind the scenes Beowulf pic, once off exclusive, we could post it to Flickr from a dummy user account & mix in other random photos for a sense of authenticity. CONFIDENTIAL VIA00366610 As for del.icio.us, I think the key way to integrate here, is to add on to the video sharing site strategy, by linking to our content (i.e. clips on YouTube) & tagging these links with numerous relevant terms. For Nacho I'm sure we could come up with 50+ terms (funny, wrestling, Jack Black, etc). Please let me know your thoughts on this and the broader video sharing strategy. Looking forward to actualizing these ideas.
