A. Q. Okay. Based on reviewing Exhibit 24, is it your 11:51 11:51 understanding that the -- first of all, that the Gossip Girl 40 YouTube user name was created by Fanscape? A. I think that's a leap. We're using the 11:51 channel -- using the channel versus creating it is not necessarily the same thing so -- right? Q. Well, is it your understanding that YouTube people are allowed to use channels that they didn't create? A. Q. Yes. But you're not aware of any circumstances where 11:52 Fanscape did that, use channels that it didn't create, are you? A. Q. No. And in fact, in Exhibit 26, My-lan Beauford 11:52 references e-mailing gossip blocks with the fake e-mail address Gossip Girl 40. Does that indicate to you that My-lan created the Gossip Girl 40 YouTube account? A. Exhibit 26? MR. TARKIAN: Do you know whether or not My-lan 11:52 DAVID FELDMAN WORLDWIDE, INC. 450 Seventh Avenue - Ste 2803, New York, NY 10123 (212)705-8585 75 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 created Gossip Girl 40? THE WITNESS: BY MS. REES: Q. Were all of the four videos listed on Based on this, yes. 11:53 Exhibit 30 on the Gossip Girl 40 uploaded to YouTube by Fanscape on behalf of MTV? A. Q. All four? Say your question again. 11:53 The question was, were all four of the videos listed on Exhibit 30 on the Gossip Girl Channel uploaded to YouTube on behalf of MTV? A. The only one I would question would be the 11:53 Perez Hilton freakout. Q. A. Why would you question that? I don't think that was provided by MTV. I 11:54 don't think Perez Hilton is an MTV property. Q. Again, if you look back at Exhibit 26 in My-lan's update for the Celebrity Wrap Superstar Show she references -- the first bullet point is "Perez Hilton threw a temper tantrum, and MTV wanted the world to know about it. and YouTube." A. Q. Okay. So does that indicate to you that Perez Hilton 'Leaked' video clip uploaded to ifilm 11:54 Freaking Out clip is one of the clips that My-lan is referring to in Exhibit 26? 11:54 DAVID FELDMAN WORLDWIDE, INC. 450 Seventh Avenue - Ste 2803, New York, NY 10123 (212)705-8585 76 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 A. Q. Yes. Back to the page with the Tila Tequila Poolside 11:54 Fight Scene, in the video kind of in the middle of the screen shot of the video looks like a time code. like "01:18:18:03." A. Q. Yes. Do you know why those numbers were superimposed Looks 11:55 on the video like that? A. Q. I don't know. Was including a time code in the video 11:55 something that MTV ever asked Fanscape to do? A. I don't know. MR. TARKIAN: four numbers. BY MS. REES: Q. As far as Fanscape goes, did MTV ever put time 11:56 May not be a time code. It's codes in video footage in order to make it look as though the video was unfinished and it was being leaked? MR. WILKENS: THE WITNESS: BY MS. REES: Q. On the Gossip Girl 40 Channel, is there any Objection to the form. Yeah, I don't know. 11:56 indication from looking at the printout that Gossip Girl 40 is a Fanscape account? A. No. 11:56 DAVID FELDMAN WORLDWIDE, INC. 450 Seventh Avenue - Ste 2803, New York, NY 10123 (212)705-8585 77 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 Q. These two first videos are called or have 11:57 "Tila Tequila Leak" in the title, they are not really leaks in the sense of being unauthorized. MTV provided these videos to Fanscape with permission to upload them; correct? MR. TARKIAN: THE WITNESS: they provided. Objection to form. Fanscape only uses videos that 11:57 We don't create videos, and we don't manufacture videos. BY MS. REES: Q. A. And it certainly doesn't steal videos? Yeah. Certainly doesn't steal videos. Exhibit 31. (Whereupon, Exhibit 31 was marked for identification.) THE WITNESS: BY MS. REES: Q. A. Q. Can you identify Exhibit 31? This is a copy of an e-mail. It's an e-mail string involving Christy Wise at 11:59 Okay. 11:58 11:57 MS. REES: Fanscape, Jessica Nicola at MTV, and the last one is forwarded to My-lan Beauford at Fanscape. A. Q. A. I don't see -At the very top. Yes. Thank you.
