`
`AFFIDAVIT OF CHRISTOPHER BUTLER
`
`1. I am the Office Manager at the Internet Archive, located in San Francrsco,
`California. I make this declaration of my own personal knowledge.
`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 institutions, 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 450 billion pages stored in the
`Internet Archive‘s web archive. Visitors to the Wayback Machine can search archives
`by URL (i.e., a website address). If archived records 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`dates, and then begin surfing on an archived version of the Web. The links on the
`archived files, when served by the Wayback Machine, point to other archived files
`(whether HTML pages or images). If a visitor clicks on a link on an archived page, the
`Wayback Machine will serve the archived file with the closest available date to the page
`upon which the link appeared and was clicked.
`4. The archived data made Viewable and browseable by the Wayback Machine is
`compiled using software programs known as crawlers, which surf the Web and
`automatically store copies of web files, preserving these files as they exist at the point of
`time of capture.
`5. The Internet Archive assigns a URL on its site to the archived files 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/l9970126045828/http://www.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). A web browser may be set such that a printout from it will
`display the URL of a web page in the printout’s footer. The date assigned by the Internet
`Archive applies to the HTML file but not to image files linked therein. Thus images that
`appear on a page may not have been archived on the same date as the HTML file.
`Likewise, if a website is designed with "frames," the date assigned by the Internet
`Archive applies to the frameset as a whole, and not the individual pages within each
`frame.
`
`6. Attached hereto as Exhibit A are true and accurate copies of printouts of the
`Internet Archive‘s records of the HTML files or PDF files for the URLs and the dates
`
`specified in the footer of the printout (HTML) or attached coversheet (PDF).
`7. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
