patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws and confidential agreements to protect our proprietary
intellectual property. Our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights is subject to certain risks
and from time to time we encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. We
cannot provide assurance that we will prevail in any intellectual property disputes.
Employees
As of December 31, 2011, we had 2,348 full-time employees. We also utilize part-time and temporary
employees, primarily in our DVD fulfillment operations, to respond to the fluctuating demand for DVD
shipments. Our use of temporary employees has decreased significantly due to decreased DVD shipments in
2011, as well as increased automation of our shipment centers. As of December 31, 2011, we had 579 part-time
and temporary employees. Our employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we consider
our relations with our employees to be good.
