WHY KILL CO$A nostril's
"LRH" COPYRIGHTS?

Dated: 1996/01/05

In an earlier article, "LET'S SETTLE UP WITH THE Co$," 
I suggested that one of their fitting punishments and/or 
settlement terms should be to PUT ALL "LRH" COPYRIGHTS 
IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

This was attacked as being overly harsh and unreasonable.

After further considersation of this question, I firmly believe that this is
the MOST moral and proper thing to do, and the most important legal action
that could be taken to both prevent further crimes by the Co$lime, and give
it an actual possibility for becoming an agency for good and enlightenment,
rather that a tool of suppression and terror.

If I had a history of drunken driving accidents that caused many deaths and
maimings, how many such incidents would accumulate before I was denied the
privilege to drive, and my cars were seized by the state and kept from me?

If I owned a knife store, and I had the habit of going to the park and
stabbing people of other races with my merchandise, and every time I got out
of jail, I stabbed someone else, how long would it be before I was
judicially enjoined from owning and operating a knife store?

If I was a pharmacist, and repeatedly poisoned medical customers of
differing religious faiths, how long would it take to have my pharmacy
license lifted and my drug store taken away from me.

The "PROTECTION" OF "LRH" COPYRIGHTS and their "market value" is the major
legal excuse that the "church" of $lime has for breaking and entering,
harrassment, barratry, frivilous lawsuits, etc.  They have used this legal
pretext to destroy any number of lives, and drive any number of well meaning
(and possibly even very skillful) enlightenment facilitators into other
professions.

This is the "legal" WEAPON that they use to criminally assault innocent
victims and destroy their lives.

If this WEAPON/excuse were taken away from them, they would have no LEGAL
PRETEXT for their illegal harrassment of former members and others in
related or similar activities.

WHAT ELSE could you do to them that would remove their predilection and
pretext for multitudinous wanton crimes against the public and their
perceived "enemies":  Slapping their wrists and asking them to promise to
try to do better?  Suing them for their torts and getting numerous judgments
against them?  Getting the Supreme Court to repeatedly affirm those
judgments?  Issuing court orders to "be good?"  "Disbanding" the GO?
Arresting their leadership and sending a dozen or so of their highest
officials to jail for hundreds of felonies? 

Gee, I seem to recall that someone tried all those solutions, and they don't
seem to have worked TOO well.

Much of the "LRH" material was in fact researched and written by others, and
issued under LRH's name.  In this sense, many of the copyrights are
fraudulent to start with, and the actual authors AND THE PUBLIC have been
defrauded of truth.

Over and over, LRH talked about "his work" as "his gift to mankind" and
stressed that it was to be used by everyone, everywhere, all over the
universe, for general enlightment.  Why don't we as a judicial society give
that seemingly noble dream at least a snowball's hope in hell of happening?

The "Church" of $lime gets a TAX EXEMPTION as a public benefit.  Yet they
are the only church I know of that jealously seeks to prevent it's
"enlightment" from reaching the masses (by any means, legal or illegal)
unless THEIR PRICE IS MET.  They are NOT distributing enlightenment as a
public service or benefit, they are controlling, hoarding, and selling their
version of "enlightenment" for MAXIMUM PROFIT.  This is NOT a public benefit.

Let's give them an opportunity to do what we have been paying them with a
tax exemption for "doing."  Let's let them walk their talk.

I really don't know how you can "PROTECT" something that everyone in the
universe is intended to know by copyrighting it.  Simple irrefutible logic
would tell you that the only was to truly protect it (from being hidden and
vanishing and not being used and leaving people in darkness) would be to
make sure that it was in the public domain so that there could be NO STOPS
on its free communication by everyone who was interested in it and wanted
others to know about it.

The Co$lime's interpretation of "PROTECTION?" is to keep it completely
secret from anyone but THE HIGHTEST BIDDERS, and to dole it out in small
carefully regulated dollops, at higher and higher prices, to a smaller and
smaller elite audience.  The enormous amounts of income generated by this
artificially inflated sales price is used to fund an army of terrorists who
are grimly determined that NO ONE BUT THEM shall have or use this data,
under penalty of . . . [ANY HORRIBLE REPREHENSIBLE CRIME YOU CARE TO NAME].

If ALL "LRH" copyrights were judicially declared to be in the public domain,
it would end the shell game of which corporation are they really hidden
under.  The church wouldn't have to spend $20 million per year "protecting"
them from the people who want to use them to help themselves and each other
by "legal" assault.  The church would be relieved of that terrible burden
and would be free to do other things like . . . audit people.  Wow!  What a
concept!

Would this PREVENT them from doing anything they are doing now?  Not from
publishing LRH books.  Not from auditing.  Not from training.  Not from
being "Clear and OT."

It might eventually prevent them from charging $100 for a book that someone
else could profitably sell for $10.  Would that be bad?  It might force them
to enter the marketplace of ideas on a more equal footing with others.  It
might force them to stop charging $300 and more per hour for services that
could easily be delivered for $25 or $50 per hour.  It might eventually
force them to stop funding their intelligence/ terrorist network, and their
army of barratrous unethical lawyers.  Would enlightenment suffer from that
loss?  It might eventually force them to stop retaining Clean Gene Ingram
and directing his criminal career.  How many would suffer from that deprivation?

It would give them a chance to do what they SAY THEY ARE DOING: training and
auditing people and providing materials for others to do the same.  It would
offer them an equal opportunity to see if they could compete with
"squirrels" and "suppressives."  That might do WONDERS for their sense of
responsibility and ethics.  They *might* even rediscover the LRH of the
1950's who actually knew something useful and was willing to share (not
ransom) it with his fellow man.

Could this hurt them?

Could this hurt the "public benefit?"

Would it make YOU live in fear of speaking YOUR truth?

Would this damage LRH's original purported intentions?

Can YOU see any better solution to the problem?

Sincerely yours,
