DMCA: some webhosts won't be bullied

I sent a query to my web hosting company about how they regard baseless DMCA takedown notices. This was their reply. :)

We're well-acquainted with the CoS and its tendency to 'creatively' apply
the DMCA in order to silence a critic. You can read about how we handled
a similar case (and how we handle DMCA notices in general) here:

DreamHost Web Hosting: Abuse Center

The kind of site you're describing -- original text and links to other
websites -- should be fine.

I like how their blog entry (first link) namechecks scamentology specifically :)

Snamyeh Member	Re: DMCA: some webhosts won't be bullied It's nice when some webhosts "get it" as an organisation, so the knowledge stays longer than any individual employee. Save a Scientologist in 10 minutes.

Err, around half the admins on WWP work for DreamHost (or at least used to, lol) so I would imagine that they are more likely than the majority of hosts to be aware of the Cult.

I love Dreamhost....been with them since the late 90's.
They've been good to me, so I like returning the favor.

Nope... Maybe you were thinking of enturb? I seem to recall somethin like that too...

Did you know that the End Phenomenon of OT VIII is "Now I know who I am not, and I am interested in finding out who I am"? Yup.

For those who don't know...Dreamhost was started by computer savvy college students, who also had a good sense of humor as noted in their blog from time to time. The one who writes the monthly Newsletter, Josh, made the Newsletter a real treat to read while still informing members what was going on with their hosting company.

Anonymous We Are Legion	Re: DMCA: some webhosts won't be bullied Dreamhost's intelligent management is the reason I chose them to host Who Is David Miscavige? As long as Google doesn't buy them we're in the clear.

So I am not worried, given that my site isn't going to contain any copyrighted info (unless mentioning "TR-0" by name counts, but somehow I doubt it).

Btw, on a similar subject, what is the legal status of OT III text and all that? Is it considered public domain in any way, or is it still copyright? I'm guessing still copyrighted. (No matter anyway, I'm not going near that stuff.)

Here is some information..Info

Isn't this material subject to copyright?

It may be. The copyright registration number is TXu-290-496. The copyright is currently owned by the Church of Spiritual Technology, and licensed to Religious Technology Center, both Scientology shell corporations. However, the US Copyright Code provides for "fair use" quotation for purposes of comment and criticism, and this web page clearly falls in that category. There is also some evidence that the copyright filing might be fraudulent.

Is it possible for it to fall under Orphan Works?
