DECLARATION AND EXPERT REPORT OF DR. J.A. POUWELSE

Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2) and the general rules

governing disclosure of expert testimony, Defendant hereby submits

the following expert report of witness Dr. Johan Pouwelse. This

report describes the testimony which will be provided by Dr.

Pouwelse on behalf of Defendant Joel Tenenbaum.

I. Statement of Expert Opinion


Case 1:03-cv-11661-NG Document 841-2 Filed 06/05/2009 Page 3 of 55

I, Dr. J.A. Pouwelse, will provide expert testimony

regarding peer-to-peer file-sharing networks, the procedures

required to be adopted to accurately identify users and activity

on a file-sharing network, the Plaintiffs’ failure to adopt such

procedures, and the inaccuracies and flawed assertions in the

expert testimony submitted by Dr. Doug Jacobsen. Furthermore, I

will also provide testimony on alternatives to file-sharing

networks to obtain digital music, the cost of obtaining such

music and financial impact of downloading through peer-to-peer

file-sharing networks.

I will testify to the following:

i. the technical characteristics of peer-to-peer file-

sharing networks and their relevance in determining

the identity of users on the file-sharing network,

specifically in refuting factual assertions made by

expert witness Doug Jacobsen;

ii. the structure of Internet IP addresses and the use of

private non-globally unique IP addresses in peer-to-

peer file sharing networks, which were not properly

considered by Plaintiffs’ expert;

iii. the procedures required to be undertaken in order to

establish whether a certain computer is being used to

make copyrighted works available for download via a

peer-to-peer network,
Case 1:03-cv-11661-NG Document 841-2 Filed 06/05/2009 Page 4 of 55

iv. the failure by MediaSentry to adopt several of these

required procedures;

v. the general lack of acceptance of the methods

employed by MediaSentry in the technical and

scientific communities;

vi. the large number of factual errors in the report

provided by expert witness Doug Jacobsen;

vii. the contradictions between Dr. Jacobsen’s report and

previous sworn deposition testimony he has provided;

viii. the previous erroneous claims made by MediaSentry

against multiple institutions;

ix. the conflicts of interest of Dr. Jacobsen which are

relevant in assessing his objectivity in providing

testimony on behalf of Plaintiffs;

x. the lack of examination by Dr. Jacobsen of potential

error rates;

xi. the lack of exploration of alternative explanations

for the data assessed;

xii. the general lack of professionalism inherent in Dr.

Jacobsen’s expert report which makes the report

unacceptable based on relevant technical and

scientific standards.

xiii. the lack of any serious scientific article written

by Dr Jacobsen in the area of peer-to-peer file-


Case 1:03-cv-11661-NG Document 841-2 Filed 06/05/2009 Page 5 of 55

IV. My Qualifications, including List of Publications Authored in

the Past Ten Years

I am an Assistant Professor at Delft University of

Technology in the Netherlands, where I lead a research group

investigating peer-to-peer technology. Since January 2008 I have

been the scientific director of a 19 Million Euro project

investigating the next-generation of peer-to-peer technology,

called P2P-Next. As of March 2009 I also am technical director

of a 6.8 Million Euro project investigating the purest form of

peer-to-peer technology – self-organizing systems – in the

“QLectives” project. Both projects are sponsored by research

grants from the European Union under the 7th Framework program.

Due to these grants, my team is at this time the largest peer-

to-peer research team of its kind in the world.

Hello Charlie:

I am following up on our conference regarding Defendant's witness disclosures under Rule


26(a)(2). While Plaintiffs have serious questions concerning the admissibility of any testimony
from these witnesses under Rules 403 and 702, as a threshold matter, the disclosures provided by
Defendant do not satisfy Rule 26(a)(2)(B). Among other things, they fail to provide a statement
of the "opinions to be expressed and the basis and reasons therefor” as well as a listing of “the
data or other information considered by the witness in forming them.” See Fed. R. Civ. P.
26(a)(2)(B).

The disclosure for Dr. J.A. Pouwelse fails to contain the information required under Rule
26(a)(2)(B)(i) and (ii). As we discussed, Dr. Pouwelse's report lists topics, but does not provide
any actual opinions or the basis for such opinions. Also, in section II of Dr. Pouwelse's report,
items xii and xiii fail to identify the actual data considered.

The disclosure for John G. Palfrey fails to contain the information required under Rule
26(a)(2)(B)(i), (ii), (iv), and (v). Like Dr. Pouwelse, Mr. Palfrey's report lists topics, but does
Case 1:03-cv-11661-NG Document 841-2 Filed 06/05/2009 Page 29 of 55

not provide any actual opinions or the basis for such opinions. Mr. Palfrey's report also fails to
identify the data considered, contains no list of publications, and does not specify whether Mr.
Palfrey has ever testified as an expert at trial or deposition on any topic.

The disclosure for John Perry Barlow fails to contain the information required under Rule
26(a)(2)(B)(i), (ii), and (iv). Mr. Barlow's report does not provide any basis for his opinions,
does not list the data considered, and does not list any qualifications or publications.

As we discussed, please let me know whether Defendant will agree to supplement these
disclosures. In addition, because Plaintiffs cannot complete their expert discovery or determine
whether rebuttal experts may be necessary until Defendant provides complete disclosures, please
let me know whether Defendant will agree to extending the deadline for Plaintiffs' rebuttal
disclosures and the deadline for completion of discovery.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks very much.

If I can weigh in on this, I would have to agree that if the centerpiece of our case at trial is going
to be this "noncommercial fair use" argument to which you seem committed, it would be a big
mistake to call Professor Lessig to the stand. From the sliver of his work that I have read, I gather
that even if he agreed to say what we would like him to say (which seems unlikely), opposing
counsel would have a field day on cross-examination, given his extensive writings on these issues.
When writing the "draft" disclosures in light of your comments on my initial draft, I found myself
writing more from your perspective on the case than based upon anything I had gleaned from
Professor Lessig's work. I just assumed that you knew something about Professor Lessig that I did
not. Apparently, this is not the case.

All of this looks very bad from my perspective. I think that introducing our experts at this late
stage to the very novel argument that we intend to raise at trial - an argument which has no real
basis in case law or moderate academic scholarship - is a blunder that could have very serious
consequences. At this point, I have no idea what our disclosures will look like. And they have to

We should have been working on this for weeks rather than days.

AMENDED DECLARATION OF JOHN PERRY BARLOW

1. I, John Perry Barlow, am the vice-chairman of the

board of directors of the Electronic Freedom Foundation, an

organization I co-founded in 1990. Since May of 1998, I have

been a Fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. I

am a poet and musician, and between 1971 and 1995, I was a

lyricist for the Grateful Dead, a well renowned American music

group. I previously served on the masthead of Wired magazine. In

the past I have contributed articles to Wired, the New York

Times, and Communications of the Association for Computing

Machinery. I speak, consult, and write for a living. These

positions and experiences qualify me to speak about the fairness

of peer-to-peer file sharing in the context of the recording

industry and the technological environment in which such actions

occur.

2. Given my personal experiences in the music industry,

and my position as a public intellectual in discourse on

copyright, music, and technology, I am able to testify about the

historical context of the record industry’s anti-file sharing

campaign, its larger merits and shortcomings, and the social

implications of litigation such as that before this court. I am,

in particular, aware of how the economics of “file-sharing” can

work to the great benefit of musicians and creators. The

Grateful Dead allowed our fans to tape our concerts, essentially

giving our music away for “free.” In doing so, we essentially

invented viral marketing, solving an advertising problem that

our record companies were never to address and becoming

enormously successful in the process.

3. I will testify that the Internet, and peer-to-peer

technology in particular, allow us to do that which we, as

humans, fundamentally need to do: share art. I will explain how

digital technology has finally freed us from the physical medium

of CDs and other increasingly antiquated mediums, how this


Case 1:03-cv-11661-NG Document 841-2 Filed 06/05/2009 Page 36 of 55

conversion challenges conventional application of the

institution of copyright, and why this natural evolution should

be welcomed.

4. I will testify that the music industry will never be

endangered because, for reasons I will not presume to know with

certainty, we as humans absolutely require music, and because in

the music business as I know it, familiarity, not scarcity,

creates value. I will explain why this means that the industry

surrounding music will never cease to exist in some form. I will

explain that the online world presents us with a “gift economy,”

where no moral blameworthiness attaches to non-commercial

sharing, and I will explain why this does not threaten the music

industry.

5. I will testify that the recording industry is

complicit in allowing itself to hold on to antiquated business

models rather than adjust to the changing landscape around them.

I will explain why the recording industry must evolve and why it

is improper for the industry to attempt to institutionalize

stagnation through their litigation and legislation efforts.

6. I will present no exhibits at trial.

7. I have not presented expert testimony, neither by

deposition nor at trial, in the past four years.

8. I am receiving no compensation for my testimony in

this case.

9. I have no publications that I must list.

10. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of

the United States of America that the foregoing is true and

correct.

JOHN PERRY BARLOW
