"Scientologist to start returning some seized data"
"Uncopyrighted material taken in raid will go back to critic, president says"

by Jean Torkelson (Rocky Mtn News staff writer)

  The Church of Scientology will begin to return uncopyrighted material seized 
in a raid of former member, Larry Wollersheim's home, perhaps as early as today, 
two top church officials said Tuesday.
  Heber Jentzsch, international president of the Los Angeles-based church, and 
Kurt Weiland, head of the church's legal and public affairs branch, were in 
Denver to discuss the Aug. 22 federal raid on millions of pages of Scientology 
material from Wollersheim's Boulder home.
  They said any material not copyrighted by the church will be returned to 
Wollersheim, who they said has been disseminating church secrets and other 
documents on the Internet to warn people that Scientology is dangerous.
  Wollersheim says that the seized material includes sensitive documents that 
the church will copy and use against former members.
  "You can't believe anything he says," said Weiland, adding that Wollersheim's 
attorney was permitted to attend the review of the material but chose not to 
attend.
  Wollersheim was not available late Tuesday to comment.
  Jentzsch characterized some of the seized material, which he says will be 
returned to Wollersheim, as "a personal attack on me" because if referred to the 
circumstances of his late wife's death.
  The assertion was that she was not cared for; that the church did nothing to 
assist her," Jentzsch said. "(His charge) is despicable beyond nature."
  Jentzsch and Weiland say the church is doing all cyberspace a favor by 
vigorously pursuing copyright infringement in that new, unregulated territory.
  "Violations of others' rights on the Internet will inevitably result in some 
sort of legislation," said Weiland. "The way to avoid that and preserve the 
utmost possible freedom of the 'Net is for the industry to (police) itself."
