Date: Wed, 18 Sep 1996 22:24:48 -0700 (PDT) From: Helena Kobrin To: remailer-admin@cajones.com Subject: Unauthorized use of Copyrighted Material Dear Remailer Admin, I represent Religious Technology Center ("RTC"), the owner of the confidential Advanced Technology of the religion of Scientology, and the holder of exclusive rights under the copyrights applicable to the Advanced Technology materials. The Advanced Technology materials are confidential, unpublished, copyrighted works. They include, among others, the individual works comprising the "NOTs Series." The copyright registrations applicable to this work or works are TXu 257-326 and TXu 257-527. Someone posting as "nobody@huge.cajones.com" has sent several messages through your remailer which contain copyrighted works belonging to my clients. The headers for those postings are at the bottom of this message. The postings were made in a code, which we have determined is called rot13 cipher. It is described in an Internet posting as "a simple-minded scheme that replaces each letter of the alphabet with the letter that is 13 places ahead or behind it." Because someone can decrypt this, these postings are no less copyright infringements than ones which merely translate a copyrighted work into another language. We are therefore requesting the following: 1. Send out a cancellation of these messages. 2. Preserve all information related to the posting which is on your system. This is imperative because it relates to litigation which is in progress, and in which preliminary injunctions have been issued prohibiting posting of these works. 3. Provide us with any information you have related to the posting and poster. Speed is essential in light of the urgency of this situation. Sincerely, Helena Kobrin >From hkk@netcom.com Wed Sep 18 22:17:45 1996 Date: Wed, 18 Sep 1996 10:09:47 -0700 (PDT) From: Helena Kobrin Subject: Unauthorized Posting of Copyrighted Material To: admin@nym.alias.net Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Dear Admin, I have just spoken with Sameer of alias.net who referred me to you. Sameer said he spoke with you regarding an e-mail which I sent to him this morning. What follows is the pertinent portions of that e-mail, as to which Sameer said you would be able to help. Someone posting as "nobody@huge.cajones.com" has sent several messages through the nym.alias.net anonymous remailer, which contain copyrighted works belonging to my clients. The headers for those postings are at the bottom of this message. The copyrighted works in question are known as the "NOTs Series," and they are registered with the U.S. Copyright Office under registration number TXu 257-326. The postings are in some sort of a code. We have been able to make a preliminary determination that a program has been used to make it appear that these postings are gibberish. But if other letters are substituted for the ones in the posting, with each letter of the alphabet used in the posting equating to another letter of the alphabet as used in the actual work, this will translate into my client's copyrighted works. Because someone can decrypt this manually or can use a program, if he or she has it, these postings are no less copyright infringements than ones which merely translate a copyrighted work into another language. We are therefore requesting the following: 1. Send out a cancellation of these messages. 2. Preserve all information related to the posting which is on your system. This is imperative because it relates to litigation which is in progress, and in which preliminary injunctions have been issued prohibiting posting of these works. 3. Provide us with any information you have related to the posting and poster. Speed is essential in light of the urgency of this situation.
