DECLARATION OF STEVE W. GRIFFIN IN SUPPORT OF MUSICCITY.COM, INC.’S AND MUSICCITY NETWORKS, INC.’S MOTION FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT

 

 

I, Steve Griffin, hereby declare:

1.      My name is Steve Griffin.  I reside in Franklin, Tennessee.

2.      I am the founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of StreamCast Networks, Inc., formerly known as MusicCity.com, Inc., as well as a founder of MusicCity Networks, Inc.

3.      MusicCity Networks, Inc. has never begun operations and has never completed formalities of its corporate formation.  It will soon be dissolved.  Only StreamCast Networks, Inc. has engaged in the development and distribution of the Morpheus software program.

4.      Plaintiffs have sent notices to MusicCity.com, Inc. and MusicCity Networks, Inc. accusing users of the Morpheus software program of engaging in copyright infringement.  Those notices about Morpheus users by logical necessity all arrive after distribution of the Morpheus program to those users.

5.      StreamCast Networks, Inc., in distributing the Morpheus software product to the general public, lacks knowledge of particular future infringing or non-infringing uses of the product by the public.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct and that this declaration is executed in Franklin, Tennessee, on January 18, 2002.
