Reply-To: heldal@online.no [I would appreciate if someone forwarded this to ARS] Hi, My lawyer just got a letter from the law firm Haavind & Haga (Oslo, Norway), which now seems to represent the cult in Norway. In the letter they refer to the meeting they had with my lawyer earlier this year, and claim I again have put material on the 'net that violates copyrights held by RTC. Without any reference to any actual document, post or URL they mention NOTs Series 34, and HCO policy letters by Hubbarb [sic] like "Dead agenting" and "Targets, defence" where New Era Publications, Int. (NEPI) holds the rights. Similar is also put on alt.religion.scientology according to the letter. They also complain about my offer to send out the "secrets" on request. They claim in the letter that quoting, like I've done on my page, is not allowed (and these guys are experts on copyright in Norway?) Isn't lawsuit supposed to be a tool to crush me, according to the almighty L Ron Hubbard? Why then am I allowed to do what I do for two years? Yes, on Saturday November 7th Operation Clambake celebrates 2 years on the 'Net! The letter also refers to the lawsuits against Zenon Panoussis and Keith Henson. They write that the Swedish court of justice say RTC had juridical interest in suing Panoussis and that RTC has the rights to OT II, OT III and NOTs and that putting this on the 'net violates RTC's rights, and that Panoussis is forbidden from making the material available for the public. The whole verdict from the Zenon case was attached to the letter. The letter goes on about how much all this has cost Zenon and Keith, and suggests that I do not want to end up in their situation. Threatening me, huh? I wonder why they've changed their tactics by not threatening my ISP... Or maybe nothing is changed, it's just that my ISP isn't that easily scared by a criminal cult any more? ;-) This is just a quick summary of the letter. I'm not able to join ARS or reply to e-mail at the moment, but hope to be back soon. Best wishes, Andreas Heldal-Lund heldal@online.no Operation Clambake: www.xenu.net SP4 & Adm.
