### Neues von der Front

Letzte Vorkommnisse

14.Juli:

Ein Mail des Systemadmins:

> Es fängt wieder an.
> Von scientology.org aus war wieder täglich Besuch auf den Seiten,
> es war wohl ein grober Fehler das Blocking von Scientology nicht
> wie schon vor Monaten empfohlen einzurichten...
> Das habe ich jetzt mal in der Server-Konfiguration gesetzt.
> Bitte um baldmögliche Stellungnahme über das weitere Vorgehen.
> Falls das Copyright nicht bei Scientology/RTC liegt empfehle
> ich eine Anzeige wegen übler Nachrede o.ä., ansonsten müssten
> die beanstandeten Seiten auf einen anderen Server verlegt werden,
> idealerweise in Deutschland, Skandinavien oder Russland.

Ein paar Tage spaeter hoerte ich, dass mein Provider eine Mail erhalten hatte. Der Systemverantwortliche (man bin ich froh, dass da ein solcher Profi arbeitet) leitete sie mir weiter:

> Guten Tag Herr XXXXXXX
> Wir erhielten beigefuegte Mail aus USA betr. der Website
> www.charlies-playhouse.ch.
> Um weiteren Aerger zu vermeiden, bitten wir Sie, die genannten Dokumente
> (http://www.xenu.ch/geheimes/policy.htm und
> http://www.xenu.ch/ot-xenu/schriftlich.htm) zu
> entfernen.
> Fuer weitere Korrespondenz wenden Sie sich bitte direkt an AMPaquette@aol.com
> Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
> Domainverwaltung
> DataComm (Schweiz) AG

darauf meine erboste Antwort an Miss Paquette

> Dear Miss Paquette
> Im the owner of the Website charlies-playhouse.ch wich is hosted in
> Switzerland. Perhaps you dont know its a own country and has its own laws.
> And, its Europe not the USA.
> Your threatening letter might be useful in the States but not here in
> Switzerland. It just looks like typical american arrogance to me.
> I have my reasons to have this Website. One of it is that I've wasted plenty
> of money in this so called Church. I was Staffmember.
> Your letter are making me really thinking go to court in Switzerland to get
> all of my money back and clear this copyright thing. This would be not very
> good for the downstanding Class 4 Org in Zurich. AND THIS WILL HAPPEN IF YOU
> DONT STOP YOUR HASSELS ON EMAIL. In fact it would cost the so called Church
> of Scientology much less money and effort if you leave me and my site.
> Its not shure to me that you are really the person that you say you are.
> Everybody can fake an email. So if you have to say something do it with an
> letter. And on this letter the colors of RTC. So that there is a chance to
> see that you really telling the truth about you and your client.
> If your really willing to go to court here in Switzerland so do it. Im
> ready. We have other copyright laws here in Switzerland and I suggest you to
> study these.
> And, write to me and not to my provider. Only cowards used to do this.
> sincerely

Die handschriftlichen Unterlagen und die Xenugeschichte wurden nach Deutschland verschoben http://212.114.232.183/scn/geschreibsel.htm & http://212.114.232.183/scn/lirumlarum.htm
und gehoert habe ich seitdem nichts mehr.

Charlies-Playhouse ein paar Stunden offline

Jahreswechsel 1998/1999

Hierzu nähere Informationen:

> Ich hatte meine Webseiten (3 verschiedene Domains) bei Pair Networks in Amerika. In der Nacht von Montag auf Dienstag bemerkte ich, dass kein Zugriff übers WWW zu allen meinen Domains möglich war.
> über Telnet kam ich aber in mein Verzeichnis rein und bemerkte, dass jemand die Rechte verändert hatte (drwx --- --- mit mir als Eigentümer). Ich dachte zürst an einen Hack, doch alle Dateien waren in Ordnung und sonst konnte ich auch nichts auffälliges feststellen. So hab ich denn meine Domains wieder auf World-Readable gestellt und das Passwort geändert. Zudem schickte ich ein Mail mit der Bitte um Aufklärung an meinen Provider in Zürich. Kurz darauf kam Antwort und auch der verantwortliche Mitarbeiter wusste nicht was geschehen sein könnte.
> Heute Morgen (30.12.1998) bemerkte ich, dass meine Domains wieder unzugänglich gemacht worden waren und etwa zur gleichen Zeit erhielt ich eine Message vom Provider in Zürich mit einer weitergeleiteten Mail von Pair Networks. Scientology hätte mit Prozessen gedroht und Pair Networks meint, dass sie gegen die Scientologyanwälte nicht an kommen würde und wollte meine Domains (wovon sich nur eine mit Scientology
> beschäftigt) nicht mehr auf ihrem Server haben..
> Natürlich versuchte ich sofort in meine Verzeichnisse hineinzukommen, doch Root (Pair) hatte den Eigentümer geändert, dass mir der Zugriff ganz verwehrt wurde.
> Heute Nachmittag telefonierte ich mit dem Verantwortlichen von Virtual Media in Zürich um die Seiten schnellstens wieder zugänglich zu machen. Herr S. richtete mir innert kürzester Zeit ein neüs Konto auf einem Server in Zürich bei Datacom ein. Während ich dies schreibe ist der Upload schon im Gange. Ich möchte mich für diesen vorbildlichen Service von Virtual Media hier öffentlich bedanken. (Wenn ihr mal einen schnellen Top-Provider braucht .... http://www.virtual.ch ..ich kanns nur empfehlen :)
> Pair Networks wird mit diesem rabiaten Vorgehen Problebe haben, da nun auch bei Scientology bekannt ist, dass Pair beugsam ist. Von den rund 40'000 Domains werden sicherlich noch einige entfernt.

##### Weitere scientologische Vorgehen

##### Erstes E-Mail der Frau Kobrin vom 25 Juni 1998

> Dear Mr. Maij:

> I represent Religious Technology Center ("RTC"), the owner of the confidential Advanced Technology of the Scientology religion and the holder of exclusive rights under the copyrights applicable to the Advanced Technology materials. The Advanced Technology
> materials are confidential, unpublished, copyrighted works. RTC's works include, among others, the individual works comprising levels known as "NOTs" "OT III and the "Class VIII Assists Lecture". These works are registered with the United States Copyright Office under registration numbers: TXu 257 326 and 257 527; TXu 290 496; and TXu 593- 514.
> I have been informed that you have placed certain of these copyrighted works on your homepage without the authorization of my client. These works can be found under the following URLs:

> By placing my client's copyrighted works on your web page, you are violating Swiss and United States copyright law. Because these documents are on your site, they are copyright infringements for which you can be held liable. We therefore request that they be removed immediately.
> Recently, Mr. Henson, who engaged in similar Internet infringing activities lost a copyright infringement case brought against him for posting this same work to the Internet. Just this week, a jury convened in the United States District Court in San Jose, California and assessed damages in the amount of $75,000 against him for placing "NOTs 34" on the Internet. Mr. Henson is also permanently enjoined against further infringements. Additionally, a United States District Court in the state of Virginia granted judgment for damages, costs, and a permanent injunction in favor of my client related to copyright infringement of similar works.
> The Regional Court of the Hague has recognized that similar materials are copyrighted, and the defendants in the Dutch case removed their postings of the copyrighted materials in that case. Moreover, in Sweden, RTC sued an individual for infringement of similar materials which he had placed upon the Internet and in that case, the court issued an injunction prohibiting him from engaging in such illegal activities.
> Please confirm that you have removed the copyrighted material as requested above.

Ein Schreiben vom 1.September 2000 an meinen Provider:

> Fax erhalten am 13-9-2000
> Homepage Karl Maij
> Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren
> Bei der Switch Domain Name Registration haben wir erfahren, dass gegen die Scientology Kirche und Religion gerichtete Homepage "Charlie's Playhouse" von Karl Maij bei Ihnen angemeldet ist.
> Unter anderem betreibt Herr Maij ein Gaestebuch unter http://charlies-playhouse.ch/guests/sc-guest/guests.htm. ***
> Auf diesen Site habe ich u.a. folgende Statements gefunden:
> Datumeintrag 6. August 2000
> ... wir sind mittlerweile eine bescheidene gruppe von 47 leuten, die agressiv, radikal, brutal und wie auch immer gegen scientology vorgeht. wir bombardieren sie mit e-mails, wir provozieren sie auf der straße, verpruegeln sie, machen telefonterror bei denen, bombardieren deren fax, spruehen ihre haeuser mit sprays an und manipulieren und zerstoeren was man bei denen zerstoeren kann.
> man koennte fast sagen, dass wir regelmaeßig zwei bis 4 mal uns in bremen treffen und scientologen-jagdt veranstalten ... wer lust hat mitzumachen, meldet sich ...
> Datumeintrag 14. Juli ... los knallt die Schweine ab.
> Die Disskussion um rassistische Homepages wurde in letzter Zeit mit einiger vehemenz auch in der Oeffentlichkeit gefuehrt, die Mitverantwortung der Provider herausgestrichen.
> Dies ist auch der Grund weshalb ich an Sie gelange und Sie hoeflich ersuche Herrn Maijs Site zu sperren.
> In Ihren Allgemeinen Geschaeftsbedingungen haben Sie sich herausbedungen den Zugriff fuer ein Angebot zu sperren, wenn Dritte in ihrer Ehre verletzt werden koennten, Personen oder Personengruppen mit radikalen oder extremistischen Inhalten angegriffen, beleidigt oder verunglimpft werden oder wenn Inhalte nach dem allgemeinen Rechtsempfinden gegen geltendes Recht der Schweizerischen Eidgenossenschaft verstossen koennten.
> Die Schweiz hat 1995 den Antirassismus-Strafartikel eingefuehrt, der gegen Hasspropaganda aus rassistischen, aber auch religioesen Gruenden eingesetzt werden kann.
> Sientology ist weltweit als Religion anerkannt worden, ebenfalls in der Schweiz durch Bundesgerichtsurteile und andere Behoerden.
> Die Homepage von Karl Maij verstoesst z.B. mit den oben angegebenen Publikationen gegen diesen Artikel, der auch die Foerderung und Unterstuetzung von Propaganda unter Strafe stellt.
> Wir ersuchen Sie daher, das Angebot von Herrn Maij zu sperren und uns eine kurze Mitteilung darueber zukommen zu lassen, dass sie diese Massnahme ergriffen haben.
> Gegen Herrn Maij werden separat rechtliche Schritte geprueft.
> Mit freundlichen Gruessen
> Gabriela Arm
