DEFENDANTS’ STATEMENT OF NON-OPPOSITION
TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND THE COMPLAINT
On July 18, 2005, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Leave to File Second Amended
Complaint Joining Tucows Inc. and Infonautics Corp. as Plaintiffs (DI 162). Defendants
Amazoncom, Inc., Amazon Services, Inc., Netflix, Inc., Barnesandnoble.com Inc., _
Barnesandnobelcom LLC and Overstoclccorn, Inc. do not oppose Plaintiff s motion. In
meet and confer discussions the day that BTG filed its motion, the parties disputed
whether the addition of these parties resolves Defendants’ challenges to BTG’s "common
interest" privilege assertion. Defendants, therefore, infonn the Court that their non-
opposition is not a waiver of their right to continue to challenge BTG’s privilege
assertions. Based upon the law and the facts of this case, it is likely that the mere
addition of Tucows Inc. and Infonautics Corp. does not resolve the privilege issues raised
by the Defendants. Defendants are pursuing additional discovery related to this issue.

By not opposing Plaintiffs motion, Defendants do not waive any other legal challenges
related to the new parties, such as standing, etc., which may arise in the normal course of
the litigation.
