		Steven Fishman, author of the famous "Fishman affidavit" has suddenly and bizarrely returned to the alt.religion.scientology newsgroup.
		Where would Steven Fishman have acquired $400,000, and if he did acquire it, why would there be almost three years between the event date and date of entry on the docket?
		The only documents available (and linked from the docket) at present are the Government's Motion to Dismiss With Prejudice (on a variety of rather dull procedural grounds) as well as an (equally dull) attachment to that same motion.

		Lerma uploaded the so-called "Fishman Affidavit" after consulting a lawyer and in the honestly mistaken belief that, as a public court document, it was not covered by the copyright law.
		Attached to the affidavit were a number of Scientology documents, including short portions of two documents entitled "OT II" and "OT III." Lerma asked Harshman about posting the Fishman Affidavit and was told that the posting would be lawful.
		He certainly removed the Fishman affidavit: what was left were scraps of documents almost impossible to identify.

		Scientology sued some 15 providers, and one individual: me. Scientology had refused to prove their claimed copyrights until only a week before the court session; once a notary had stated on Feb. 18 that OT 2, OT 3 and 'Ability' (i.e.
		Exhibit G) were indeed copyrighted by Scientology, I immediately changed these parts of the Fishman Affidavit and put up an adapted version, making fair use of quotes from the originals.
		The judge considers the parts from the OT's that were used in the Fishman Affidavit to have been legally made public, precisely because they were part from an open court file; hence, they can not be regarded as unpublished material, as Scientology has always claimed.
