You seem to be saying that people cannot pursue Dianetics after
leaving the Church of Scientology without violating copyright and
trademark laws.  How so?  Some exscientologists may violate such
laws, but one can certainly discuss ideas and knowledge which were
learned while a member of the Church without violating copyright law.

Does the Church of Scientology require some kind of non-disclosure
agreement to be signed by members?  That's the only way that I know
of to legally prevent disclosure of information.
