When I returned home this afternoon, I found my apartment broken into. The hard disks were missing from my computer, as well as some diskettes and one copy of the printed OTs. On my bed-pillow was a message from the bailiff that he had executed a decision by the primary court of Stockholm. The decision was attached and included the following: The RTC has sued me for copyright infringment with regard to my electronic publication of OT II, OT III and the NOTs, as well as for my printed publication of the OTs and demanded that 1. the court would interimistically forbid me at risk of fine of 50.000 crowns (appr 8.000 US$) to further publish the materials in question until such day that the case is finally decided; 2. the court would decide that all material that is covered by RTC's copyright would be taken into custody pending a final decision in the case, whatever medium it may be on, including printed material, disks etc; 3. the court would decide that all material that has been used as an accessory to the infringment, including computer disks etc would also be taken into custody pending a final decision in the case; 4. the court would conceide the above demands without offering me the opportunity to reply to them in advance, seen the urgency of the matter. The court conceded demands 1, 2 and 4, but not 3. The decision can be appealed against immediately (and will be). Thus, the case is on and I will now begin to bang on the big drums of publicity. I expect the CoS to be hurt much more by that, than what it could ever be hurt by some files circulating on the net. I am (sometimes) a prudent nature. Foreseeing the raid, I have not used my computer for the storage or production or distribution of any material to which the RTC claims copyright. I count therefore on having my hard disks back within a week. Foreseeing the raid I have also spread the files in question to a large number of untracable aquaintances, and instructed these to spread them to their aquaintances in case I was raided. This further spreading is taking place right now, with the result that the RTC will NEVER be able to cut me off from the material in question. Foreseeing the raid I have also stored the printed OTs elsewhere than in my apartment (one single copy was taken from my apartment, and one was missed and left back). Their distribution continues as usual, or rather MORE INTENSELY. The case is handled by Stockholms tingsrätt, Box 8307, SE-104 20 Stockholm, Sweden and has number T 7-866-96. All documents in it are public. If interested (and can read Swedish or have it translated) you may ask for copies by writing a simple informal letter in English to the above adress, by phone at +46-8-6575000 asking for section (avdelning) 7 or by fax at +46-8-6575295. Of course I will keep ars posted on the developments. Z --- oracle@everywhere: The ephemeral source of the eternal truth...
