Other than human moderation and the AM filter, I don't believe so. Q. Can you think of any other data fields in the database that contains information about these user uploaded videos? A. No. MR. HINDERAKER: This would probably be a good time to take a break and take a minute to organize my next. (Recess was taken.) BY MR. HINDERAKER: Q. Let's take a look at question 22, It says, please, in the notice, topic 22. "Any databases or similar systems used by Viacom to store, index or maintain information, including date, titles, honors, responses, tags, description, duration, rating, view count, comments, et cetera about videos, including, but not limited to, content, available or previously available through any Viacom online properties." some specifications about that database.

A. Q. Not that I can recall. Another Web site that I believe is operated by Viacom is Atom something. Do you know what the name of that site is? A. Q. A. Atom Entertainment has two sites. What are the two sites? I believe one is called Atom Films and one is called Atom Uploads. Q. A. Q. Are they part of MTVN? Yes. I'm looking here at Atom Uploads, and as you can see, that's another site. It's a different format and has some different features, but it's another site where users can upload videos, and they appear on the Atom Uploads sites; is that right? A. Q. Yes. Are you generally familiar with the 405 9/19/2007 Solow , Warren (ESI Day 2) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Atom Uploads site? A. Q. In a very basic sense. In preparation for your testimony here today, did you go out and try to gather any information about the Atom Uploads site and thousand works? A. Q. A. Yes. How did you do that? I spoke to counsel. I reflected on my previous interactions with Atom Entertainment personnel. I spoke to personnel at Atom, and I caused others to speak to people at Atom. Q. What did you learn from that investigation? A. That my previous understanding of Atom was accurate. Q. A. In what respects? That information that I previously held was confirmed. Q. A. What sort of information? Information concerning the function of Atom Entertainment's Web sites. Q. A. How they function, you mean? Yes. 406 Schapiro Exhibit 335 1 UN IT ED ST ATE S DIS TR ICT C OUR T FO R THE S OUT HE RN DI STR IC T O F NEW Y ORK VI AC OM IN TER NA TIO NA L I NC ., CO MED Y PA RT NER S, CO UN TRY M USI C TE LE VIS IO N, IN C., P ARA MO UNT PI CT URE S COR PO RAT IO N, an d B LA CK EN TE RTA IN MEN T TEL EV ISI ON LL C, Pl ai nti ff s, vs . ) C as e N o.
