Operation Clambake present:
NOTs Analysis under Attack
January 2000:
An analysis of NOTS 34 authored by Tilman Hausherr and featured on
Operation Clambake as part of the documentation covering the Henson
trial is claimed by RTC to be violating their copyrights.
The claim that RTC holds the copyright for Tilman's work is of course
utterly ridiculous, since Tilman Hausherr is a well-known critic of
the same cult. His analysis include quotes from NOTs 34, well within
the right of fair use and is of course legal for me to have on Operation
Clambake as long as I have Hausherr's permission.
As you will see from the correspondence below my ISP in USA asked me to
remove the file from their server and to save them more trouble from
this cult I agreed to temorarily replace it with a link to my original
copy of the analysis on one of my Norwegian accounts. If the cult is so
stupid that it takes legal steps to get fair quotes off the 'Net it is
much easier for me to fight them here in Norway.
