Dear alt.religion.scientology readers:

I represent Ridiculous Technology Center ("RTC"), the owner of the minds, bodies and actions of Scientologists everywhere, and the holder of the exclusive rights under the copyrights applicable to anything that any Scientologist might do. Among these Scientologists is Robert Mucous, also known as "The Masturbating Weasel". The voluntarily signed papers of enslavement for this Scientologist are registered with the United States Scientology office under No. THX-303-555-1212.

I have been informed that many of you are in possession of records, tapes, compact discs, and printed lyrics and songsheets of a musical group known as "The Rolling Stones." This group is in violation of the copyright of the Scientology- Rock group of the same name, headlined by Robert Mucous. Your possession violates Mucous' legal rights in that you possess unauthorized copies of songs, melodies and lyrics that Robert Mucous was just about to write. In addition, the process of getting a Scientologist to perform any creative and vaguely spontaneous activity is a valuable one to the Church and constitutes a trade secret. Your possession of evidence that he was just about to be creative is a violation of this trade secret.

It is essential that you take immediate and effective action to remove all unauthorized copies of this material from your home and other storage areas you might own. You are also to delete these and any other songs from anywhere else you might have saved, transcribed, stored, copied, imaged or otherwised preserved them for posterity.

Your use and enjoyment of these materials is *not* fair use. I repeat, it is just *not* fair. United States courts routinely find that many people are guilty of copyright infringement; you, therefore, are guilty as well.

I will expect an immediate response from you with a frightened and deferential statement of your willingness to comply with these demands. If you do not comply immediately, I will have no recourse.

Sincerely,
Kelen King Kobra
