The Advanced Technology materials are confidential, unpublished, copyrighted works. RTC's works include, among others, the individual works comprising a level known as "NOTs." One of your users, whose name is unknown to me, has placed certain NOTs works on your web site at http://hipdrome.org/CoS/. 1. HUBBARD_WAS_A_PATHOLOGICAL_LIAR.html 2. COS_IS_A_CRIMINAL_ORGANIZATION_AND_WILL_GO_UNDER_BECAUSE_OF_THE_NET.html 3. ANYBODY_WHO_BELIEVE_IN_XENU_MUST_BE_BRAINWASHED_OR_HAVE_A_VACUUM_ BETWEEN_HIS_OR_HER_EARS.html 4. SCIENTOLOGISTS_ARE_ONLY_AFTER_YOUR_MONEY.html 5. INFORMATION_WANTS_TO_BE_FREE_AND_NOTS_CERTAINLY_IS_INFORMATION_WE_SHOULD_ KNOW_ABOUT.html 6. IF_HUBBARD_WAS_THE_WRITER_WE_ARE_THE_READERS.html 7. HUBBARD_WAS_NOTHING_BUT_A_MADMAN_AND_THIS_IS_WHAT_I_BELIEVE.html These works have been placed onto this web site without the authorization of my client. The works are registered with the US Copyright Office under registration numbers TXu 257326 and 257527. These postings violate the copyright laws of the United States and Norway. Because these postings are on your site, they are copyright infringements for which you can be held liable. I therefore request that you remove these materials immediately, or at a minimum, block access to them, and then have the user remove them. We are currently involved in litigation in the United States, Holland and Sweden over the same and similar materials in several lawsuits. A preliminary injunction based on copyright infringement is in place in three of those suits in the United States District Court in San Jose, California. And a United States District Court in the state of Virginia granted a permanent injunction in favor of my client, related to copyright infringement of some of these works. The court in Holland has recognized that similar materials are copyrighted, and the defendants in the Dutch case have taken off their postings of the copyrighted materials in question in that case. And in Sweden, the court has issued an injunction against the defendant who posted these works to the Internet. The courts in California and Holland have both ruled that an access provider which is informed that infringement is occurring through its system and does nothing to stop it can be liable for contributory infringement. Norwegian law is similar to what has been applied in these other countries. We are not seeking to become involved in litigation, but we will take all necessary measures to protect my client's intellectual property rights. We assume that you do not want your system to be used as an instrumentality of infringement, and that we can resolve this amicably. Please confirm that you have removed the copyrighted material as requested above. I must urge you that speed in dealing with this situation is critical in light of the fact that unpublished materials are involved. Sincerely, Helena K. Kobrin
