The Copyright Ruse

A fellow named Ralph Oman described "economic freebies" being handed out to "sympathetic supplicants" in a letter to the editor in the Washington Post. His obtuse language ignored the fact of his previous employment by Scientology as a expert witness in RTC vs Lerma, Rich Leiby, The Washington Post, Marc Fisher and Digital Gateway Systems.

Scientology and its 'leader' David Miscavige through his company ASI, "Author Services International" and their DC lobby company Federal Legislative Associaties, lobbied hard through Sonny Bono, when he was on the Intellectual Property Committee, for the 90 year extension to the copyright law and for the DMCA law.

What was at stake was what I consider the criminal instruction manuals for running the Scientology con upon the public. The copyright controversy is only about money, BIG money.

The timing of this letter, and the current google fracas is important, because the US supreme court is currently reviewing a challenge to the 90 year copyright law..

The Constitution is about protecting individual liberty in hopes of ensuring the possibility of "the pursuit of happiness," in this life not the hereafter or after crossing some claimed "bridge to total freedom".

The balancing of these two factors should be governed by what is in the public interest, not the interests of well paid lawyers, their multinational corporate clients, or their expert witnesses like Ralph Oman.

we owe scientology a debt of gratitude for their despicable conduct brings bad, exploitable, abusable, badly written law into the public eye

So to this degree, it is about Scientology, because it is about bad laws....bad laws allow predatory shyster organizations like scientology to survive.

Ferengi + Borg = Scientology I'd prefer to die speaking my mind than live fearing to speak.

The only thing that always works in scientology are its lawyers The internet is the liberty tree of the new millennium Secrets are the mortar binding lies as bricks together into prisons for the mind http://www.lermanet.com/grifters.htm - mentioned 4 January 2000 in The Washington Post's - 'Reliable Source' column re "Scientologist with no HEAD"
