There is a lot of material on the net.

The point I was trying to make was that the way they are dealing with 
Internet seems to be typical of how organizations (including spiritual 
ones) try to deal with dissemination of info on the net over which 
organizations have no control. It would not surprise me at all if we find 
similar reaction from many organizations we may be familiar with.

A seeker after truth should be alert to such tactics.
