I got this email earlier:
Hi, Did you know that you may NOT publish the Kingdom Ministry at any way? Please remove that page.
Didn't think it would amount to much - just another Dub throwing his weight around on an apostate site he shouldn't be visiting. However, I just received a demand from my web host to remove the KMs or lose my website. I guess I'll have to do so...
Is there anyone here with a legal brain here that can explain what can be for public viewing without breaking copyright? (I am assuming you are being asked to remove the KM's because of copyright violations.)
By the way, what is the link to your red-hot website?
steph
you'll just have to quote from the KM's instead.
Steph. Nice to see you, it's been a while. Is the request from your web host from a valid source or just some irritated, a--hole dub, who thinks he's performing theocratic warfare ? May want to dig a little deeper on that one.
There could be a problem though, if you are reproducing the whole KM, and not just exerpts !
Stephanus, can you send a scan attached to an email?

Oh, it's genuinely from my host, alright. And since I've been asked to take it down (and am in the process of doing so), I can't really give the link - it will be dead soon, anyway...
Some links on copyright. Too bad, Stephanus. What you provided was close to a public service.

Sensitive, ain't they? Well, I guess it's their 'intellectual property'.....gag.
Shouldn't matter though....
All that great "meat in due season" can just as well be distributed using other means.

Maybe newsletter subscription type of service through PM, mailed out to subscribers when a new addition is made.
