`
`1. I, Christopher Butler, am the Office Manager at the Internet Archive, located in
`
`San Francisco, California. I make this declaration of my own personal knowledge. As
`
`part of my role as Office Manager, I am familiar with how the Internet Archive
`
`captures and archives copies of websites and how it makes those archives available to
`
`the public.
`
`2. The Internet Archive is a website that provides access to a digital library of
`
`Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we
`
`provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public. The
`
`Internet Archive has partnered with and receives support from various well-known
`
`institutions and libraries, including the Library of Congress.
`
`3. The Internet Archive has created a service known as the Wayback Machine. The
`
`Wayback Machine makes it possible to surf more than 400 billion pages stored in the
`
`Internet Archive's web archive which have been captured and stored at various times
`
`since 1996.
`
`4. The archived data made viewable and browseable by the Wayback Machine is
`
`compiled using software programs known as crawlers that surf the Web and
`
`automatically store copies of websites, preserving copies of the websites as the
`
`websites exist at the point of time of capture.

`
`
`5. The Internet Archive assigns a URL on its site to each archived file in the format
`
`http:/ /web.archive.org/web/ [Year in yyyy] [Month in mm] [Day in dd] [Time code in
`
`hh:mm:ss] / [Archived URL]. Thus, the Internet Archive URL
`
`http: / /web.archive.org/web/ 19970126045828 /http: / /vvww.archive.org/ would be
`
`the URL for the record of the Internet Archive home page HTML file
`
`(http://www.archive.org/) archived on January 26, 1997 at 4:58 a.m. and 28 seconds
`
`(1997/01/26 at 04:58:28).
`
`6. Visitors to the Wayback Machine can search the Internet Archive’s web archive by
`
`URL (i.e., a website address). If archived files for a URL are available, the visitor will
`
`be presented with a list of available dates. The visitor may select one of those dates,
`
`and then begin surfing on an archived version of the Web.
`
`7. Regarding archived files stored in and made available via the Wayback Machine, I
`
`further declare that:
`
`a. to the best that the electronic systems involved can accurately record and
`
`reflect, such files were captured at or near the time of the date reflected in the
`
`URL assigned to each file by virtue of an automated transfer of electronic data;
`
`b. such records were captured by Internet Archive or received from third party
`
`donors in the course of regularly conducted activity by the Internet Archive;
`
`and
`
`Page 00002
`
`
`
`c. the Internet Archive captures, stores and receives from third party donors
`
`web data as a regular practice.
`
`8. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of a printout of the
`
`Internet ArChiVe’S record for the URL http_:/ /w\vw.softsou11d.c()1n/Slmrte11.l1t1nl with
`
`an archive date of March 3, 2000, which may be downloaded from the following
`
`address:
`
`http: /’ /webxarchive .org_/ weh/ 3000030321 4940 /http:/ /' www.softsound.Com / Shorten.
`
`html.
`
`9. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

`
`Shorten is an established low complexity waveform coder. It is fast and
`has low memory usage and thus is suitable for stand alone or embedded
`operation for a wide range of audio-like signals.
`
`Shorten has two basic modes of operation:
`
`- losslessz The decompressed file is exactly the same as the original.
`Typically a factor of two compression is obtained for 16 bit audio.
`a lossy: The compression may be specified either in terms of an
`average number of bits per sample, or in terms of an acceptable
`(perceptually weighted) signal to noise ratio. Good quality is obtained
`at compression rates from 3:1 to 5:1 and thus it can be a good
`alternative to ADPCM.
`
`Technical documentation is available.
`
`Two evaluation versions are also available:
`
`o Shorten for Windows 16 bit evaluation
`- Shorten for Windows 32 bit evaluation
`
`_ Shorten for Windows [evaluation]
