That is easy to prevent. All you have to do is make it known that you have copied all of the information to other people in documents to be opened in the event of your untimely demise. With electronic communication this is easy. For example, you can send out the entire corpus of your work in encoded documents every day. Then if you disappear from a week you can arrange to have a message go out with the key to the documents. Rossi told me has taken steps along these lines. He is no fool. He says he has ensured that the technical secrets will not die with him, no matter what. He knows many people would be delighted to help ensure the survival of this information -- including me. Obviously, if I got a copy, with permission to distribute, I would upload it to LENR-CANR.org in a half hour, post a few announcements, and by the end of the day there would be thousands of copies distributed world-wide. That's one of the beauties of the 21st century. In the 1974 movie "Three Days of the Condor" the hero defeats the bad guys who are out to assassinate him by handing over the secret information to the New York Times. Nowadays, anyone can accomplish the same thing with the Internet. You don't even need to be WikiSecrets. All you need is a reasonably active web site, and I have one of the most active in cold fusion. - Jed
