Helena Kobrin: Little White Lies?
From Tilman Hausherr
(post to alt.religion.scientology, October 3 1995)
Some of us might remember Bulgravia lawyer Kobrin who said that
- "No case in the United States has ever found fair
use to apply to copying unpublished materials, as
even Dennis Erlich's attorney had to admit in open
court."
- "the documents are trade secrets"
- "OT3 is a trade secret"
- "OT7 had been registered at the copyright office as #TXU 303 388"
What do these four allegations have in common, except being made by hkk ?
All four were proven to be lies in this newsgroup and/or in court.
- not only courts had already found fair use of unpublished
documents, but the law explicitly allows so.
- None of the three courts recognised them as trade secrets
(well for Kobrin, it is enough to "say" that something is a trade
secret)
- McShane testified in court that OT3 was not a trade secret and
had never been
- OT7 had a "registration pending" at the time of the Lerma raid.
