I would think they have. Otherwise both CoS and the author would have been all over them. Clambake (www.xenu.net) is a Norwegian page that the Scientologist have been trying to stop for several years. They have tried to make search engines remove their references, go to court for citing "secret" information from them etc, but they haven't managed it yet. Copyright is actively used by CoS to stop critiques in a lot of places, but it doesn't work that way around here. We have the right to cite passages that we are discussing, but not to let people download complete books and after a lot of trouble I think Andreas Heldal-Lund knows something about Copyright laws .-) DagT
