direction, yes. Q. How come? MS. CUNHA: A. suggest it. Q. Did he ever tell you why, that you Objection.

I can't speak to why he would

should be handled. Q. I'm going to ask you to take a look

This e-mail, which was produced by

Viacom in this litigation, appears to be an exchange between you and someone whose e-mail name is VH1MarkIntern. you referred to earlier? A. This is a generic account that all Is that the intern that

of our interns use. Q. So the person using VH1MarkIntern

would have been an intern of some kind at VH1? A. Q. Yes. And does this reflect the postings

that you mentioned earlier in your testimony by an intern to an intern's account? A. Q. I don't remember specifically. So the intern writes to you, "Here

is a list of sites that I have joined to be able to post the video. There are a lot of

sites that allow me to upload videos that I have seen but not yet joined." receiving this e-mail? A. Not specifically, no, but I see Do you recall

Do you know what the XLS extension

on a file signifies? A. Q. A. Q. Excel. It signifies a spreadsheet? Yes. And would people working for you

sometimes send you information on spreadsheets? A. Q. Yes. And is it a fair inference that the

intern is giving you a list of some sites that he has joined to be able to post the Flavor of Love, to post some Flavor of Love material? A. Q. I believe that to be true, yes. And you asked him for an updated

list of the sites he promoted clip number one on, correct? A. Q. Yes. You don't happen to remember what

PLAINTIFFS VIACOM INTERNATIONAL INC. ET AL.'S RESPONSES TO DEFENDANTS' FIRST SET OF REQUESTS FOR ADMISSION
Plaintiffs Viacom International Inc. et al. ("Viacom") respond to Defendants First Set of
Requests for Admission ("RF As") as follows.

GENERAL OBJECTIONS
The following General Objections to the RF As are incorporated by reference into each of
Viacom's responses below.
1. Viacom objects to each RF A to the extent it seeks to elicit information protected

by the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, or any other applicable privilege or
immunity.
2. Viacom objects to each RFA to the extent it seeks to elicit Viacom's opinion as
opposed to facts.

1822424.1

3. Viacom objects to each RFA to the extent it seeks to impose obligations or

requirements beyond those imposed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules of
the Southern District of New York, or the applicable standing orders and orders of this Court.
4. Viacom objects to each RF A to the extent it sets forth compound, conjunctive, or
disjunctive statements.

5. Viacom objects to each RF A to the extent it is unduly burdensome and seeks
information not relevant to the above-captioned litigation.

6. Viacom objects to the definitions of "Viacom," "You," and "Your" to the extent
that they are vague, ambiguous, overly broad, and unduly burdensome.

ambiguous. To the extent that it includes clips that are not the subject of allegations of

infringement in this litigation, Viacom further objects to that definition as overly broad, unduly

burdensome, and not reasonably related to the claims or defenses at issue. Hereafter, Viacom
uses the term "Clips In Suit" to refer to the clips that are actually at issue in this litigation, as
identified in Viacom' s Works In Suit Disclosure of October 15, 2009.

b. the right to object to the use of any information or document, or the subject matter

thereof, in the trial of this or any other action or subsequent proceedings;
c. the right to elicit appropriate evidence, beyond the responses themselves, regarding the
