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?
