Scientology and the ''' Internet ''' have been involved in a number of disputes related to what the Church Of Scientology cites as Intellectual Property matters. In late 1994 , the Church of Scientology began using various legal tactics to stop distribution of unpublished documents written by L. Ron Hubbard . The Church of Scientology is often accused of Barratry (or malicious litigation and intimidation). The official church response is that its litigious nature is solely to protect its Copyright ed works and the Unpublished Status of certain documents. Freedom Magazine, Vol 27, Issue 4: An open letter from the Church of Scientology Some critics of the Church of Scientology claim that the church is a by launching lawsuits against outspoken critics of the organization.For instance, see Hausherr, Tilman. "NOTS34: criminality successfully protected by copyright law" , 1998; Wachter, Kristi. "'Handling a physical condition' with the NOTs" ALT.RELIGION.SCIENTOLOGY The Newsgroup '' Alt.religion.scientology '' was created in 1991 by Scott Goehring, partly as a joke, partly for the purpose of informing the public about Scientology.
