Regarding the dirt that one supporter of Mike Scozzari requested, I know that item is not central to Mike's defense. Mike told me he just wants everybody to be able to teach TM openly without fear and threats from the so called trademark holder. If someone gets a masters in education, pays for their education themselves, the university has no right to try and take the degree back 30 years later!
But to the post from someone (below) who wrote that there would not be precedent, I think you are way off. Don't be naive - winning this will be winning it for everybody and we can end this for good. I'm guessing this was written by an attny, possibly with the TMO as he must realize it will set precedent. He is just trying to sidestep that issue, which for supporters that are TM teachers would be the most important issue. If they win, the TMO could serve the papers on other independent teachers using the TM trademark - and THEY WILL- precedent has power! What independent teacher would risk it if the TMO wins the case in Florida? The trademark holder in this case has a long history of misusing that trademark. Do we need to go over this again? A judge knows that threats against the trademark not acted on by the TMO do not amount to defending the trademark. If you know someone is misusing the trademark and has done so for years, threatening them with phone calls is not defending the trademark, it's harassment. The courts will have this information as it unravels. If TM is going to continue to be available I agree - it will be thanks to the independents. They just need to see the importance of this case in Florida and help with the defense. Who can honestly say that the TMO is headed in the right direction? Daniel Jeffers One friend who has a spiritual take wrote this.... The Bastards are abusing us, the legitimate teachers of M's knowledge, As they have for the Past 25 Years. This is nothing new. Their deliberate intention is to crush us and take away our livelihood & our sacred mission to help people in need. They use intimidation, they use divide & conquer. They brainwash our friends & turn them against us. They attempt to isolate us from our friends. They are demons playing the destructive role that demons always play. Everyone on the planet has to battle against demons of various kinds, whether in the form of family members or bosses or government authorities, criminals, terrorists, etc. etc. Can you imagine the karma associated with actively attempting to stop people from becoming enlightened, and to stop people from having their suffering alleviated?

And people willing to be witnesses, etc. Why would "dirt" on the TMO be relevant in trial to determine if Mike is breaking trademark law? If the TMO broke other laws, they would need to be tried for that. Is the "poster" suggesting sexie-sadie files or ru dissatisfaction with fund raising will make a jury go "oh dear, then their trademark is no good."? > If he loses this, then there will be legal precedent Where is there precedent?

How many are teaching in the US -- using TMO trademarks? Just a handful I would imagine. Its all ready pretty much over. Though teaching "Beatles meditation" or "TransX Meditation" by word of mouth should not be a problem. ------------------------ Yahoo!
