COUNTERCLAIMS
Defendant and Counterclaimants Infospace Mobile, Inc. and Premium Wireless Services
Inc. Canada (collectively “Infospace Mobile”), by and through their undersigned counsel, allege

as follows as their counterclaims against EMI Entertainment World, Inc. (“EMI”):

NATURE AND SUMMARY OF DISPUTE

1. During the time frame at issue in EMI’s Complaint, Infospace Mobile, both on

its own and in conjunction with certain operators of mobile telephone services, provided

various types of digital content such as games, wallpaper and “ringtones” for downloading onto

wireless devices. A ringtone is a snippet of music that a mobile phone user may download

from a service and use to signal an incoming call on her mobile phone. Infospace Mobile and

the mobile carriers with whom it had relationships generally charged a small per-download fee

to subscribers who downloaded ringtones.

2. Until shortly after the commencement of this suit, included among the ringtones

Infospace Mobile made available for download were monophonic and polyphonic ringtones of

musical compositions to which Plaintiff-Counterdefendant EMI claims to hold or control the

publishing rights (hereinafter “EMI Ringtones”).

3. EMI, in conjunction with its affiliated music publishing entities, on information

and belief, owns or controls the publishing rights to numerous musical compositions from

leading songwriters.

-17-
 4. Between May 31, 2001, and January 11, 2007, Infospace Mobile and EMI were

parties to a ringtone license agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, EMI granted Infospace

Mobile the right to create and sell EMI Ringtones in exchange for the payment of specified

royalties.

5. At times the agreement between Infospace Mobile and EMI was memorialized

in a formal written contract. At other times, the agreement was implied by the conduct of the

parties, the course of dealing of the parties, and industry custom, all of which were to continue

or extend licensing agreements without a formal written agreement following the end date of a
written agreement’s specified term.

6. During periods following the stated term of a formal written licensing

agreement, Infospace Mobile continued to offer EMI Ringtones, to provide royalty reports to

EMI, and to pay royalties for EMI Ringtones that had been downloaded. During such periods,

EMI continued to communicate with Infospace Mobile about compositions that had been newly

approved or were no longer available for use in EMI Ringtones, to encourage Infospace Mobile

to continue making EMI Ringtones available for download, to accept royalty payments from

Infospace Mobile and to treat Infospace Mobile in all respects as it had during the specified

term of the written agreement.

7. Upon information and belief, such continued dealing under an implied contract
is standard in the music publishing industry.

8. Upon information and belief, EMI has dealt with other music licensees in a

manner that continued or extended a formal written licensing agreement by conduct after the

specified term of the agreement.

9. The course of conduct between EMI and Infospace Mobile during the period

between May 30, 2006 and the date on which EMI filed this action was substantially the same

as that during any other period in the five-year contractual relationship between the parties.

10. Between May 30, 2006 and January 11, 2007, EMI and Infospace Mobile

continued to communicate on a regular basis concerning the availability of songs for use as

-18-
EMI Ringtones and Infospace Mobile continued to provide royalty reports reflecting EMI

Ringtones that had been downloaded, each time specifically referring to the existence of a

license agreement between the parties. Infospace Mobile continued making royalty payments,

and EMI continued to accept such payments.

11. At no time between May 30, 2006 and November 17, 2006 did EMI claim that

Infospace Mobile's continued use of EMI Ringtones was unauthorized.

12. At no time between May 30, 2006 and the filing of this lawsuit did EMI direct

Infospace Mobile to cease its use of EMI Ringtones.

13. Despite the existence of a continuing contractual relationship, which included

EMI’s repeated urgings of Infospace Mobile to offer new EMI Ringtones, and Infospace

Mobile’s continued payment of and EMI’s continued acceptance of payment of royalties, on

January 11, 2007, EMI filed this action and made the claim that Infospace Mobile’s conduct in

making available EMI Ringtones after May 30, 2006 was unlicensed and therefore EMI was

entitled to “in excess of $100 million” in damages for willful copyright infringement.

14. By filing this action and anticipatorily repudiating its agreement to license

compositions to Infospace Mobile for another year, EMI breached the license agreement

between the parties, including the covenant not to sue that is the heart of the license agreement.

15. EMI’s conduct in inducing Infospace Mobile to continue to make EMI

Ringtones available for download after May 30, 2006 and then claiming Infospace Mobile

committed copyright infringement because Infospace Mobile continued to make EMI

Ringtones available for download after May 30, 2006, thereby interfering with and reducing the

value of Infospace Mobile’s contracts with mobile carriers is sufficiently egregious to warrant

punitive damages against EMI in addition to monetary compensation for the damages caused

by EMI’s premature termination of its licensing agreement with Infospace Mobile and

interference with Infospace Mobile’s third-party contracts and relationships.

Wireless Services USA, Inc. (“PWS USA”), incorrectly identified as Premium Wireless

Services, Inc. in the agreement. (the “2001 Ringtone License Agreement”).

22. Under the terms of the 2001 Ringtone License Agreement, EMI granted PWS

USA a license to create EMI Ringtones and make them available for downloading onto

23. The stated term of the 2001 Ringtone License Agreement was one year.

24. Sometime after June 18, 2002, EMI entered into new written agreement with

PWS USA and PWS Canada dated “as of” June 1, 2002 (the “2002 Ringtone License

Agreement”).

-20-
 25. Under the terms of the 2002 Ringtone License Agreement, EMI granted PWS

USA and PWS Canada a license to create EMI Ringtones and make them available for

downloading onto wireless devices in exchange for royalty payments to EMI.

26. During the time between the stated end of the term of the 2001 Ringtone License

Agreement and execution of the 2002 Ringtone License Agreement, the parties continued

dealing with each other as they had under the 2001 Ringtone License Agreement and EMI

never directed PWS USA or PWS Canada to stop creating and making available EMI

Ringtones even though no formal written contract existed between the parties.
27. The stated term of the 2002 Ringtone License Agreement was one year,

commencing May 31, 2002 and terminating May 30, 2003.

28. Section 14 of the 2002 Ringtone License Agreement provided that in the event

of a breach of the Agreement, EMI would notify PWS USA and PWS Canada in writing of

such claimed breach.

29. On or about January 10, 2003, PWS USA and PWS Canada executed an

amendment to the 2002 Ringtone License Agreement dated December 19, 2002.

30. The December 19, 2002 Amendment stated that it extended the term of the 2002

Ringtone License Agreement “for an additional period of one (1) year” until May 30, 2004.

31. The parties subsequently executed an amendment to the 2002 Ringtone License
Agreement dated October 20, 2003, but effective as of October 1, 2003.

32. The parties subsequently executed an amendment to the 2002 Ringtone License

33. Following May 30, 2004, the stated end of the term of the written 2002 Ringtone

Licensing Agreement as amended, the parties continued dealing with each other as they had for

the three years prior to May 30, 2004, and EMI never directed PWS USA or PWS Canada to

stop creating and making available EMI Ringtones while no formal written contract existed

between the parties.

-21-
 34. By Amendment dated August 10, 2004, the parties amended the 2002 Ringtone

License Agreement by retroactively extending the term of the formal written agreement from

May 31, 2004 to May 30, 2006.

35. At no time between May 30, 2004 and August 10, 2004 did EMI provide notice

to PWS USA or PWS Canada that it believed they were in breach of the agreement between the

parties or directed that PWS USA and PWS Canada otherwise should stop making EMI

Ringtones available for download until the parties had executed an amendment extending the

term of the formal written agreement. Instead, EMI continued to treat PWS USA and PWS
Canada as if they continued to be licensed per the terms of the written agreement.

36. Between May 31, 2001 and May 30, 2006, EMI periodically advised PWS USA

and subsequently Infospace Mobile of additional EMI controlled songs that had been approved

for use in EMI Ringtones.

37. Between May 31, 2001 and May 30, 2006, EMI periodically advised PWS USA

continued the same course of dealing with respect to the licensing of EMI controlled songs for

use in EMI Ringtones as they had engaged in during the prior five years.

41. Between May 31, 2006 and January 11, 2007, EMI periodically advised

Ringtones.

-22-
 42. Between May 31, 2006 and January 11, 2007, EMI periodically advised

Infospace Mobile of EMI controlled songs that were no longer available for use in EMI

Ringtones.

43. Between May 31, 2006 and January 11, 2007, Infospace Mobile provided EMI

with periodic royalty reports, using the same text in its cover email as it had used in the cover

email for the last royalty report sent prior to May 31, 2006.

44. Between May 31 2006 and January 11, 2007, Infospace Mobile provided to EMI

and EMI accepted periodic royalty checks.

45. On May 30, 2006, Kristin Wueste of Infospace Mobile sent an e-mail request to

Daniel Peters of EMI seeking information regarding the availability of certain compositions for

use under the parties’ “current license agreement”. Mr. Peters provided a response to Ms.

Wueste that same day, providing the requested information.

46. On over a dozen occasions after May 30, 2006, Ms. Bailey-Lemansky of EMI

sent e-mails to Infospace Mobile personnel regarding songs EMI had received clearance to

license and of which Infospace Mobile therefore could create and make available EMI

Ringtones. One such e-mail sent by Ms. Bailey-Lemansky to EMI was dated November 16,

2006.

47. Other EMI personnel, including Tami Lester, Oscar Mazzola, Doug James, and
Aaron Monty, sent e-mails to Infospace Mobile personnel after May 30, 2006 relating to

Infospace Mobile’s continued offerings of EMI Ringtones.

48. On June 6, 2006, Ms. Wueste of Infospace Mobile e-mailed Mr. Peters of EMI

requesting “the availability of the compositions on the attached spreadsheet for use under our

current license agreement”. On June 7, 2006, Mr. Peters responded by providing a revised

spreadsheet to Ms. Wueste that indicated which compositions were “approved” for use by

Infospace Mobile.

49. On June 14, 2006, Mr. Peters sent an e-mail to Derek McNeill and Ms. Wueste

of Infospace Mobile noting that Infospace Mobile should remove from the ringtones Infospace

-23-
Mobile was offering for sale a particular ringtone for which EMI no longer had the right to

license. Mr. McNeill responded that same day that he had “alerted our content processing team

that this needs to be taken down.”

50. On July 13, 2006, Ms. Wueste of Infospace Mobile e-mailed Mr. Peters of EMI

requesting “the availability of the compositions on the attached spreadsheet for use under our

the proper “split control” for certain songs listed as being approved for use in an e-mail sent to

Ms. Wueste by Ms. Bailey-Lemansky that same day. Ms. Bailey-Lemansky referred Ms.

Wueste’s inquiry to Mr. Peters, who responded to Ms. Wueste on July 20, 2006 with a

spreadsheet providing the information she had requested.

52. On July 31, 2006, Ms. Bailey-Lemansky e-mailed Mr. McNeill and asked him to

provide EMI with the amount of royalties EMI could expect to receive for Infospace Mobile’s

sales of ringtones based on EMI-controlled compositions during the second quarter of 2006

(i.e., April, May, and June 2006). The two then exchanged e-mail correspondence regarding

the estimate, which was ultimately provided on August 4, 2006.

53. On August 3, 2006, Ms. Wueste of Infospace Mobile e-mailed Mr. Peters of

EMI requesting “the availability of the compositions on the attached spreadsheet for use under

spreadsheet to Ms. Wueste that indicated which compositions were “approved” for use by

Infospace Mobile.

54. On September 5, 2006, Ms. Wueste e-mailed Mr. Peters requesting “the

availability of the compositions on the attached spreadsheet for use under our current license

agreement”. The next day, Mr. Peters responded by providing a revised spreadsheet to Ms.

Wueste that indicated which compositions were “approved” for use by Infospace Mobile.

-24-
 55. On December 5, 2006 Ms. Bailey-Lemansky of EMI sent an e-mail to Mr.

McNeill with a copy to Debra McMahon of EMI. Ms. Bailey-Lemansky informed Mr.

McNeill that she would no longer be handling ringtones and that Ms. McMahon would be Mr.

McNeill’s new EMI contact. Mr. McNeill responded by e-mail of December 5, 2006, in which

he stated “I look forward to working with you Debbie.” Ms McMahon responded to Mr.

McNeill in an e-mail dated December 14, 2006, in which she stated, “HI Derek: I look forward

to working with you as well.”

56. The communications referenced in Paragraphs 46-55 above reflected the

understanding of EMI representatives that Infospace Mobile remained licensed to use EMI

Ringtones after May 30, 2006.

57. There are numerous other communications between the parties after May 30,

2006 that reflect their mutual understanding that Infospace Mobile remained licensed to use

EMI Ringtones after May 30, 2006.

58. On or about August 11, 2006, Infospace Mobile sent a royalty payment check to

EMI for downloads of EMI Ringtones covered by the parties’ license agreement during the

second quarter of 2006 (i.e., the quarter ending June 30, 2006). EMI deposited the check.

59. On or about November 13, 2006, Infospace Mobile sent a royalty payment

check to EMI for downloads of EMI Ringtones covered by the parties’ license agreement
during the third quarter of 2006. EMI deposited the check.

60. In early 2007, Infospace Mobile sent a royalty payment check to EMI for

downloads of EMI Ringtones covered by the parties’ license during the fourth quarter of 2006.

To date, EMI has not returned that check.

61. During the period between May 31, 2006 and January 11, 2007, in neither its e-

mails to Infospace Mobile, nor in response to any of Infospace Mobile’s e-mails to EMI, did

EMI direct Infospace Mobile to stop making EMI Ringtones available.

62. By letter to Infospace, Inc. dated November 17, 2006, EMI first advised

Infospace Mobile of its position that Infospace Mobile’s continued sale of EMI Ringtones was

-25-
“absent a valid license.” Nowhere in the letter did EMI direct Infospace Mobile to stop making

EMI Ringtones available for download. Instead, EMI stated that “[i]f EMI does not have a

favorable response to the audit and a new license agreement with you in place by December 1,

2006, EMI will turn the matter over to its outside litigation counsel.”

63. By letter dated November 29, 2006, Infospace, Inc. responded to EMI’s letter of

November 17, 2006. Infospace set forth its understanding that a license agreement continued to

exist between the parties, and stated that Infospace would like to continue its relationship with

EMI. Infospace specifically noted potential problems with its distribution partners if it had to
remove EMI Ringtones from its offerings.

64. In its letter of November 29, 2006, Infospace, Inc., while strongly contesting the

methodology and conclusions of the “audit” to which EMI referred, offered to settle the matter

and stated that “[i]f EMI chooses to reject the settlement offer, Infospace will deem the

rejection as a notice of removal per Section 2(d) of the license agreement and remove EMI-

published compositions from its catalogue and all distribution channels . . . .”

65. EMI never responded to Infospace, Inc.’s letter of November 29, 2006.

66. On or about January 11, 2007, EMI filed this action based in substantial part on

the allegation that between May 31, 2006 and the filing of suit there was no license agreement

in effect between EMI and Infospace Mobile and that therefore Infospace Mobile’s continued
offering of EMI Ringtones during that time period amounted to copyright infringement

entitling EMI to in excess of $100 million dollars.

67. As a result of EMI’s repudiation of its agreement, Infospace Mobile was forced

to remove all of the EMI Ringtones from its platform and instruct its mobile provider partners

that operated their own platforms to do the same.

68. According to EMI, it controls 40% of the music publishing market.

69. EMI acted with knowledge that by repudiating its agreement with Infospace

Mobile, it was closing 40% of the music publishing market to Infospace Mobile and its mobile

carrier business partners.

-26-
 70. EMI’s repudiation of its agreement with Infospace Mobile was an abuse of its

market power to the detriment of consumers, Infospace Mobile, and Infospace Mobile’s mobile

carrier business partners.

71. If Infospace Mobile had not been forced to stop offering EMI Ringtones,

Infospace Mobile would have made at least $1.5 million in revenues from sales of those

ringtones between the date of suit and May 30, 2007.

First Cause of Action

(Breach of Implied Contract)

72. Infospace Mobile repeats the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-71 above.

73. An implied contract was formed between EMI and Infospace Mobile as of May

31, 2006, based upon the parties’ conduct, prior course of dealing, and industry custom.

74. The implied contract was for a term of one year.

75. Implicit in the implied contract to license EMI-controlled compositions was a

promise not to sue for creating and/or making EMI Ringtones available for download.

76. Implicit in the implied contract was a covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

77. The implied contract was supported by consideration and constitutes a valid and

enforceable contract.

78. EMI’s actions as complained of herein constitute a breach of the implied

contract and a breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

79. EMI’s actions as complained of herein have caused Infospace Mobile to suffer

and accrue monetary damages, including, but not limited to, lost profits from the loss of sales

of EMI Ringtones that Infospace Mobile would have made during the term of the implied

contract absent EMI’s breach; lost goodwill in that Infospace Mobile can no longer offer a full

complement of ringtones; and damages from being required to defend against a meritless

copyright infringement claim based upon downloads of EMI Ringtones following May 30,

2006.

-27-
 Second Cause of Action

(Anticipatory Breach of Contract)

80. Infospace Mobile repeats the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-79 above.

81. An implied contract was formed between EMI and Infospace Mobile based upon

the parties’ conduct, prior course of dealing, and industry custom.

82. The implied contract was for a term of one year from May 30, 2006 through

May 30, 2007.

83. EMI repudiated and anticipatorily breached that implied contract by claiming

that no contract existed between the parties and suing Infospace Mobile for copyright

infringement.

84. EMI’s anticipatory breach of its contract with Infospace Mobile has caused

Infospace Mobile to suffer and accrue monetary damages, including, but not limited to, lost

profits from the loss of sales of EMI Ringtones that Infospace Mobile would have made during

the term of the implied contract absent EMI’s breach; and lost goodwill in that Infospace

Mobile can no longer offer a full complement of ringtones.

Third Cause of Action

(Tortious Interference With Contract)

85. Infospace Mobile repeats the allegations contained in paragraphs 84 above.

86. Throughout 2006, Infospace Mobile had valid contracts with numerous cell

phone carriers, including but not limited to T-Mobile and AT&T Mobility (f/k/a Cingular).

87. Pursuant to its contracts with cell phone carriers, Infospace Mobile made EMI

Ringtones available to the carriers’ subscribers, which generated income to Infospace Mobile.

88. EMI was aware of Infospace Mobile’s contracts with numerous cell phone

carriers.

89. EMI’s actions, as complained of herein, were designed to interfere with

Infospace Mobile’s contracts with cell phone carriers or done with knowledge that such

interference was substantially certain to occur as a result of its conduct.

-28-
 90. EMI’s intentional actions, as complained of herein, were intended to interfere

and interfered with Infospace Mobile’s contracts with cell phone carriers in that Infospace

Mobile was forced to pull EMI Ringtones from the catalogues of ringtones offered to such

carriers.

91. Infospace Mobile has been damaged by EMI’s interference with its contracts

with cell phone carriers in that, among other things, the revenues paid by such carriers have

been significantly reduced as a direct result of the removal of EMI Ringtones from the

catalogue offered by Infospace Mobile.

92. EMI’s intentional interference with Infospace Mobile’s contracts with cell

phone carriers was malicious, wanton, oppressive, fraudulent, reckless and in willful disregard

of Infospace Mobile’s rights and property interests in its contracts with the cell phone carriers.

In order to punish EMI and deter it from engaging in such outrageous conduct in the future

with its other licensees, EMI should be required to pay punitive damages.

Fourth Cause of Action

(Tortious Interference With Contractual Relations)

93. Infospace Mobile repeats the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-92 above.

94. Throughout 2006, Infospace Mobile had business relationships with numerous

cell phone carriers, including but not limited to T-Mobile and AT&T Mobility (f/k/a Cingular).
95. Pursuant to its business relationships with cell phone carriers, Infospace Mobile

made EMI Ringtones available to the carriers’ subscribers, which generated income to

Infospace Mobile.

96. EMI was aware of these ongoing business relationships.

97. EMI’s conduct as complained of herein was intended to interfere and interfered

with these business relationships.

98. Upon information and belief, following May 30, 2006, EMI induced Infospace

Mobile to include EMI Ringtones among those ringtones sold to the subscribers of the cell

phone carriers with whom Infospace Mobile had business relations and then declared Infospace

-29-
Mobile’s conduct unauthorized for the improper purpose of laying the groundwork for a claim

of massive copyright infringement that EMI could use to extract an exorbitant settlement from

Infospace Mobile, far out of proportion to any actual amounts that EMI could possibly be owed

under its Ringtone License Agreements with Infospace Mobile.

99. EMI acted solely to harm Infospace Mobile, or out of malice or relied upon

dishonest, unfair and improper acts in interfering with Infospace Mobile’s business relations

with cell phone carriers.

100. As a result of EMI’s improper conduct, Infospace Mobile’s business relations

with cell phone carriers have been and continue to be harmed, causing damages to Infospace

Mobile in an amount to be determined at trial.

101. EMI’s intentional interference with Infospace Mobile’s contracts with cell

phone carriers was malicious, wanton, oppressive, fraudulent, reckless and in willful disregard

of Infospace Mobile’s rights and property interests in its contracts with the cell phone carriers.

In order to punish EMI and deter it from engaging in such outrageous conduct in the future

with its other licensees, EMI should be required to pay punitive damages.

Requested Relief
