Kevin C. I've asked the same question about how the copyright of a book for the fellowship can be put into one person’s name. This is a very logical, and straightforward question. However, all I got was the same double talk and people attacking me as if there is something wrong with me personally for asking the question. They don't even come out and say things bluntly; they say things like "What I suggest is for you to do your own homework and to practice the three "indispensable" principles of this program of Honesty, Openmindeness and Willingness". Someone said to me when I first posed this question almost two years ago, that I hope you can work through your anger and not use over this. Well I had no intention of using then and still don’t, my anger was due to the fact that many people in my area including myself had contributed to the writing of this book. Then a single person had taken it and copyrighted it into their name. Talk about a power trip? This was one of the comments he made to justify his actions "We know that there are thieves, who would steal our good work for their mean purposes". (You can read some of our original conversation in the outhouse however it appears my words are not in there entirety and have been edited.) Well I have no idea how this material can be taken and be used for a mean purpose? Unless someone would steal it from everybody who has contributed, by copyrighting it in their name, so they can take sole credit for its creation to feed their ego. (Oh wait that already happened)
God bless (In Loving Service)
