Kobrin Message-ID: Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest) X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] Date: Thu, 17 Aug 1995 03:26:13 GMT Lines: 37 Sender: hkk@netcom11.netcom.com To a.r.s. readers: On August 15, 1995, the Honorable Harry L. Hupp, United States District Judge, of the Central District of California, issued an order sealing the copies and versions of the Scientology religion's copyrighted and trade secret protected documents pending final resolution of issues now pending in Church of Scientology International v. Fishman, et al., No. CV 91-6426 HLH (Tx). This order blocks access to the Advanced Technology filed by the defendants in that case, thus foreclosing unauthorized persons from mistakenly claiming any entitlement to copy and distribute any of those materials without the permission of Religious Technology Center (RTC), the exclusive copyright licensee and trade secret owner. These materials are not now and never were "public record documents" and now, even the excuse that there has never been a formal order sealing the Fishman case file is unavailable. Copying or other distribution or publication or use of any such documents or copies of them without the consent of RTC violates copyright and trade secret law and will subject the infringer or misappropriator to an enforcement action which could expose the transgressor to restraining orders, writs of seizure and impoundment, injunctions, and in the case of copyright infringement, damages of up to $100,000 per infringement. If you have copies of materials purporting to be copies of any of the Advanced Technology materials, you are instructed to turn them in to the undersigned forthwith. Helena K.
