One of the main missions of the Lisa McPherson Trust is to provide important, factual information about Scientology and its founder, L.

Ron Hubbard. To that end, the LMT has been providing streaming audio and video on its internet website.

For decades, the media has reported on the abusive and fraudulent nature of Scientology. Many brave people have come forward to tell their stories. Many exposes have been done. LMT Media has been dedicated to presenting the sights and sounds that bring these stories to life to as broad an audience as possible.

We have made available the largest archive of Scientology related broadcast material ever compiled. At all times, the copyrights have been acknowledged and, as our disclaimer has stated, the site's intent has not been to appropriate or profit but merely to inform.

Now LMT Media has come under attack. Recently, we have been contacted by the copyright owners of many of the shows on our site. The letters all begin the same: "We have been informed that your website is streaming our material."

In speaking with the various TV stations, networks and producers, it has been confirmed that the group contacting the copyright owners is in fact the Scientology front group, "The Foundation for Religious Tolerance" led by Scientologist Mary DeMoss.

In her letter, Mary DeMoss stresses that the LMT is a for-profit company, leading the producers to believe we may be financially gaining from the use of their shows. This is not the case.

Regrettably, we have had to remove some of the material from our site.

We fully understand the positions of the producers and their legal departments, as they certainly have the right to control their material. However, the sad fact is that these shows were produced to educate the public and help individuals, and now these same shows will be locked out of view in a studio vault where they can help no one.

This is yet another example of Scientology trying to suppress negative information about their organization. They've used copyright laws very successfully as a tool to crush opposition. It has enabled them to raid the homes of their critics and bankrupt individuals and organizations alike. Now they are using it through others to stop the flow of information.

LMT Media will not be silenced. We have already shifted from merely presenting others' material to producing videos of our own. From presenting first-hand stories of former Scientologists such as the Woodcraft family to creating original documentaries covering every aspect of the Scientology organization, LMT Media will continue to grow.

Thank you for your continued support.
