CST Legal Papers 14 OT Levels Copyrights
Date: 14 Apr 2000 19:30:15 -0000 From: Anonymous-Remailer@See.Comment.Header (Legal Archives) Subject: CST Legal Papers 14 OT Levels Copyrights Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology Message-ID: <10B31DC5D91@127.0.0.1> NOTES: 1. The following is a table of copyright information about that portion of the "Advanced Technology" (See "CST Legal Papers 01 Assignment Agreement," and "CST Legal Papers 06 Covenant, Advanced Technology") commonly known as the "OT Levels." 2. ALL of the copyrights referred to below are owned by the CORPORATION known as "Church of Spiritual Technology" (CST), doing business as (d.b.a.) the "L. Ron Hubbard Library." 3. CST is NOT a church; it is a CORPORATION. Ref. U.S. Claims Court No. 581-88T, Judge Bruggink: "CST is not a church...CST represents that it is a religious corporation organized to accomplish the activities of a church. Despite its name, CST is not itself a church... ." 4. CST licenses to the CORPORATION known as "Religious Technology Center" (RTC) the right to USE and to SUB-LICENSE these "OT Levels" (See "CST Legal Papers 01 Assignment Agreement," and "CST Legal Papers 06 Covenant, Advanced Technology"), but CST's agreements with RTC are EXCLUSIVE OF COPYRIGHT, which means that CST retains full ownership and control over ALL the materials and their use. 5. The CORPORATION known as "Religious Technology Center" (RTC) is NOT a church, it is a CORPORATION. 6. The copyright information below was posted to the internet, but has been checked against the TWO databases--Library of Congress data on CofS Copyright transfers and registrations--which were obtained through and created from a TelNet search of the LoC records, and which are available in several formats, at: http://fzint.org/downloads/index.htm (Scroll down web page to find them. NOTE that there are TWO databases there: one database lists TRANSFERS of copyright ownership, the other database lists copyright REGISTRATIONS AND RENEWALS.) 7. It is noted that in the case of almost every "OT Level" listed below, CST owns at least TWO separate and distinct versions of each, with different unique identifying numbers. 8. The versions identified in the table below as "TRANSFERRED TO CST--NOT REGISTERED" are "OT Levels" that were among the 7,731 copyrights transferred to CST by Norman Starkey. (See "CST Legal Papers 10 Copyright Transfer Record," and "CST Legal Papers 11 Assignment [to CST]"). However, none of these "OT Levels" are found in the Library of Congress/Copyright Office records database of "Registrations and Renewals" (available at the web site listed above). 9. The versions listed in the table as "TRANSFERRED TO CST" and "REGISTERED" are "OT Levels" that were among the 7,731 copyrights transferred to CST, but that ALSO are found as being registered in the Library of Congress/Copyright Office records database of "Registrations and Renewals" (available at the web site listed above). It is important to take note of the following database fields for each of these "OT Levels" that are REGISTERED. All of them have the same information in them: Previously Registered Related PREV: NONE Renewals. Orig. Pubilcation Date ODAT: NONE Renewals. Orig. Registration Info OREG: NONE Renewals. Old Class Code OCLS: NONE 10. There is no way to know if the two (or more) versions of each "OT Level" are the same without a side-by-side comparison. 11. There is no immediate way to know which version(s) are being LICENSED to RTC, or being delivered by the CST/RTC-sub-licensed organizations. 12. The originals of ALL versions have reportedly been sealed up in CST's titanium vaults, and so only (alterable) REPRODUCTIONS have ever been submitted to any court or legatee for "proof" of copyright ownership or authorship of the documents. 13. Finally, at the end of this table of individual "OT Levels," there is a work TRANSFERRED TO CST--NOT REGISTERED that merely has the catch-all title: "Ot levels." It has a unique identifying number of A785242. (It should be noted here that the U.S. Government has now shut down the ability to TelNet into the Library of Congress's own databases of Copyright Office information, citing "security reasons." They now provide only a web-based search engine [which can have filters not visible to the user]. Entering the unique number "A785242" into the web-based search engine produces no results.)
