IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA (Alexandria Division) ROSETTA STONE LTD. Plaintiff, v. GOOGLE INC. Defendant. MOTION TO DISMISS Defendant Google Inc. ("Google") moves to dismiss the Seventh Cause of Action alleged in Rosetta Stone's First Amended Complaint pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6). The Seventh Cause of Action should be dismissed because the Communications Decency Act provides a complete defense to Google for claims predicated upon Internet publication of content created by a third party. In addition, the Seventh Cause of Action should be dismissed because it is barred be the applicable statute of limitations and Rosetta Stone has failed to allege the required elements of the claim. This motion is based upon the accompanying memorandum of points and authorities, all judicially noticeable facts, as well as the pleadings, records and files in this action. Respectfully Submitted, GOOGLE INC. By counsel /s/ Jonathan D. Frieden, Esquire (VSB No. 41452) Stephen A.
