I got this tonight. The cult now has my personal information. I expect to be the victim of fair game soon. =
Anyone who'd like to talk about this - please email me your number.

Dear Ms. Paquette:
I am in receipt of your correspondence dated February 11, 2002. As I informed you, MP3.com removed the El Queso Allstars web page on February 11th, thus discontinuing public access to the artist page for the band that infringed upon your client=92s intellectual property.

What are you going to do with this new info Scientology leaders? Will you put my picture on bigotwatch.com, follow me with private investigators, harrass me, try to mess up my finances, lie about me to neighbors, picket my house? Will you try to frame me like Paulette Cooper or Gabe Cazares? Will you trump up charges and try to railroad me in court like Keith Henson? Will you physically attack me like Mark Bunker? Will you try to frame me for drugs like Jesse Prince?
Guess what? I have pointed out how you operate in song after song - and when you attempt to molest me for free expression - the whole world will see how you act. You will be confirming my lyrics as accurate. I will not be quietly bullied. No matter how dirty you fight - I will not act violently or irresponsibly. I will drag you into the light and expose your methodology with truth and humor. You can hurt me or worse - but not silently. I will continue to protest against you with the humor you so desperately despise. You will continue to be the potential subject of parody and satire - just like everyone else in a big, nasty organisation is in America. You are public figures. You should be used to it by now.
I also know that you are the only people who have this info, and if it is posted anonymously - EVERYONE will know it was you. Also, if I am harrassed - you will see bad publicity that will make the Time magazine article look like a puff piece. I will catch your spies in the act, and expose their links to you, then make songs about each encounter. The media will be involved every step of the way. This is freedom of speech.
Lots of people care. =
You have never met the likes of me before. I am everything you say does not exist. I am a critic of Scientology with no hidden crimes. You can dig all you want - you'll have to plant crimes to find them. I am a nurturing friend and family member who loves life, and smiles most of the time. I am solo - not part of any group of critics. I am not paid, except in SLACK, which you find valueless though you try to steal it from others. =
You would do well to stay within legal means when dealing with me. Any dirty tricks and Fair Gaming that goes on will be meticulously documented and reported to the authorities by myself and those around me. The moment you commit a crime against me - you are admitting that you are powerless in a fair society, and must subvert the laws we live under in the US. Read below. Is this what you have in mind for me?
18 October 1967
"Enemy-SP order. Fair Game. May be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed." -- L. Ron Hubbard

1) If you have a video camera, keep it charged up and with a blank tape, nearby, for obvious purposes. If you have a digital video camera, even better.
2) Look for Slime-o PIs, usually brain-dead dipshits sitting in rental cars up and down your street. Videotape them. Tell them they're going up on the web and take down their license plate numbers, not that they'll be any use.
They are usually rented. Take down any agency information printed on the car. You could complain to the rental car agency, who probably won't care, unless they're doing risky and/or weird things with the car--besides being PI type losers.
3) Inoculate obvious targets like employers and/or family against weird dead-agenting harassment.
4) Maintain document security to the highest extent possible. You're going to have to quit just throwing out your trash. Shred any correspondence. Don't bother with those cheap-ass strip shredders, use a cross-cut. Then wet it down and pulp it, or burn it if you have access to an incinerator.
5) Encrypt anything potentially compromising on an encrypted disk volume, to avoid burglary of valuable or confidental information. Try http://www.drivecrypt.com or http://home.access1.com.au/~gidgie/HTMLobj-226/e4m202a.exe <-- note that this is unsupported but completely FREE. It is from the same people who did SCRAMdisk. It creates an encrypted "virtual drive" on your system accessed by a decryption key. No decryption key, no data--unmounting the drive means any would-be burglars depart only with gibberish.
6) Back up any important data you have. If your songs are only in a couple copies on your hard drive, make sure you have copies on CDs in a safe place.
If they went to the trouble of actually outing you rather than merely DMCA'ing your page off the net, they actually are pissed off at you and probably will do something--probably some incredibly lame shit, but you never know. Plan for the worst--the usual shit, harassing of employers, family, business associates, defamatory leaflets left around your neighborhood calling you a porn king child molester or whatever. Don't be surprised at hang-up phone calls either. Hey, you might even get a visit from coke-dealing pimp and fired dirty LAPD cop Eugene Martin Ingram, or David Lubow. Make sure you can recognize the scungy fuckers!
http://www.primenet.com/~lippard/pis.html Eugene Martin Ingram page
http://lebeau.da.ru/ David Lebeau Cult Private DICK page--he also uses a shitload of other names
For all other fuckup whore motherfuckers, PIs, and assorted shithead gimps, see Mike Krotz's Scientology Private Investigators page http://home.tampabay.rr.com/sp/PI.html which has damn near all the others, at least the ones we know of
7) You're in Glendale? Shit! Ok, it's Glendale Arizona. That means your handlers will probably either be out of the Phoenix org or possibly even LA (wild guess). That means it's these shit-clowns:
Mesa Org, Director of Special Affairs, Leslie Duhrman Here's a picture http://galacticfederation.homeip.net/osababes/mvc-007f.jpg
Of course it's OSA INT that tracked you down, so it's a matter of how pissed off they are as to whether they handle you themselves, with shit-eating goons like Ingram, or decide to fob you off on the poor sas-sack motherfuckers in Phoenix or Mesa.
8) You might even get home picketers. This explains that:
http://www.lermanet.com/cos/otcommitees.htm
If you get home picketers, post pictures of them on the web and abs so they can be OUTED. Check your local ordinances. It might be illegal to do that where you live. They don't care! They'll do it ANYWAY. They will, though, leave, when given a choice between that and arrest.
9) Contact locals. bpetty@primenet.com and cultxpt@primenet.com (Bruce Pettycrew and Jeff Jacobsen) are, I believe, relatively local to you and might know more about the local scene. This might be irrelevant, you might be on OSA INT's shit list, and I'd make a wild guess there's a pretty good chance of that.
10) Smile! Have fun! You'll survive. Probably.

I forgot the REALLY obvious one. Put up a zip of the original site or make a new one with the same material. Mirror the fuck out of it. Maybe Sten would host it--the shit is barely infringing, if at all, and if you added some more rubber cocks for LRH to suck on, and maybe a pimp or two fucking Miscavige up the poop-chute, it would probably be transformative enough.
I think perhaps you have to perform more creative mutilation on the photographs in order to make it work. One thing I've always thought would be great is the photo of Gene Ingram from the http://www.primenet.com/~lippard/pis.html with David Miscavige, sodomizing him brutally. That would probably be transformative as well.
David Miscavige, as you know, INSISTS on being publicly buggered at least three times a day.

Subject: Re: El Queso OUTED to Scientology by MP3.com
Anyone else who is outraged as I am about this breach of privacy by MP3.com should write them to complain. The following is the text of my email to legal@mp3.com
MK
It has come to my attention that MP3.com has revealed the personal information of a page creator to a third party, specifically, MP3.com has revealed the personal information including HOME ADDRESS of the creator of "El Queso Allstars" to representatives of the Church of Scientology. As the page creator for my band, Fornikulture, I am extremely upset about this piece of information. I value my privacy and personal information, and hereby DEMAND that MP3.com NEVER reveal my personal account information to any third party without court order.
The fact that you have done this is both offensive and upsetting, and should never have occurred.
You have by doing this placed this person in grave personal danger, and it is almost unimaginable how you could justify doing so short of a court order. I demand an explanation of this, and I also demand that you inform ALL MP3.com subscribers that you have done this, and that you evidently will release anyone's personal information to third parties on simply the "say-so" of that third party.
I am having trouble expressing in words the outrage I feel at this incredible breach of trust and privacy by MP3.com. I certainly hope that you will take some action to remedy this situation.
M. Krotz
