HCO POLICY LETTER OF 22 NOVEMBER 1958

OWNER OF MATERIALS
THE LEGAL VIEW

The HCO is owner and custodian of all tapes, publications, bulletins and materials of Scientology.

This material even when sold is still the property as to content of HCO.

The physical tape, the paper, the covers, the boxes can be sold but the actual content of the tape or book is basically, by law, still owned. The fact of buying a book does not transfer data into other ownership which can then sell it. This is common practice and law and is necessary to safeguard the ethics of the subject as well as the trademarks and copyrights. The material does not pass into a new ownership for resale when a tape or book is sold.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF MATERIAL AVAILABLE

The 5th London ACC tapes and the 5th London ACC Question Periods tapes will not be pressed, sold or copied for any purpose. They are retained by HCO for use in teaching ACCs. The reason: Engram running is not easily taught and general release of data could be dangerous.

Students, however, are free to use it all they please or "own it" in a Scientology (not a legal) sense.

Therefore we have students who are experts and can audit the materials but we do not enfranchise students to teach or release these 5th London materials.

Instead I am making a series of HPA/HCA lectures in the near future and putting them on records. ACC students will be free to buy these and play them to Scientologists.

Dianetics The Modern Science of Mental Health and Science of Survival are soon to be available in any quantity for anywhere. Congress Lectures are now on records and are available to all Scientologists anywhere and it is recommended that these only be played publicly.
