Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00007)

Did de Zirkoff give Wheaton/Quest Books/TPH the copyright of BCW, or 
has anyone at all the copyrights of this material? H.P. Blavatsky's 
relatives, any T.S., or what or who? If not. This copyright of the 
BCW only is in the "head" (or what ever now it is, together with a 
lot of other strange thing) of Quest Books, so what has Ton den 
Hartog then to be afraid of? Ok, Mr. Bland could take him to court, 
but then I think we all have to support him (den Hartog), with our 
pen and our money.
