Pay closer attention. I said fair game, not "fair use". |

| The "fair use" wasn't in reference to your post, it was meant as the basis for the copyright infringement charges. Exactly how much can you paste onto your website before fair use becomes a copyright violation? -- I meant to do that. |

Ha ha ha! "Fair Game" is a great choice of words...visit Xenu.Com and see how L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Church of Scientology used the phrase fair game...it's scary stuff. |

| There actually is a tactic used by the "Church" of $cientology that goes by this name. It involves using the Court system to silence any of their critics. In doing so, they are violating others' 1st Amendment rights. This organization, described as crackpots, idiotic, and other similar epithets is by definition a religious cult, and one of the accusations levelled at them is that they exert mind control over their participants. On the Web, they've used SLAPP lawsuits and now the DMCA to censor their critics, and in an extreme case of what can only be called body snatching, they shut down and took over the Cult Awareness Network's website - it is now manned by $cientologists. Yet another accusation directed at them is that they are scamming people out of their money. In some countries, most notably Germany, the group's members have been arrested and the practice outright banned. The A&E Cable TV network did a 2 hour investigative report on $cientology: a lot of this information came from that investigation, with the help of ex-$cientologists and critics alike. The A&E program was called Investigative Reports: Inside Scientology, and the video can be ordered from their website (for anyone who is interested). -- "Kayura or Badamon, whichever you are, you should know that I will never give up this battle.
