Here is an interesting portion of an article.
"Almost too weird to believe: writer Stetson Kennedy infiltrated the KKK in the late 1940s, and learned the powerful organization's secrets — but nobody would publish them. Meanwhile, the Superman radio program needed a villain to replace the Nazis.
According to Mental Floss Magazine, Kennedy managed to work all of the Ku Klux Klan's most secret recruiting and organizational practices into his 1940s radio serial, "Clan Of The Fiery Cross." And as a result, the Man Of Steel dealt a crushing blow to the racist organization:
"As the storyline progressed, the shows exposed many of the KKK's most guarded secrets. By revealing everything from code words to rituals, the program completely stripped the Klan of its mystique. Within two weeks of the broadcast, KKK recruitment was down to zero. And by 1948, people were showing up to Klan rallies just to mock them.""

Now suppose the KKK used copyright infringement as a way to suppress this information from coming out. It would be absurd for a secretive organisation that spreads hatred and even death to use copyright to prevent its secrets from becoming known. Regardless of the letter of the law, we have a right and duty to publicly debate and criticise any organisation that causes harm.
Now an assembly talk outline from the Watchtower Society has been leaked and publicly discussed on Youtube and other places on the Internet. (see also this topic http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/scandals/193671/1/Watchtower-suppresses-critical-video ) The Watchtower Society is using copyright infringement as a way to squelch debate on their ridiculous and damaging doctrinal changes. It's not the first time they have used this tactic. They often manage to successfully shield the public from becoming aware of their dark secrets, including practices that spread hatred and even result in death and broken families.
What do you think about a secretive organisation using copyright as a means of protecting its secrets and avoiding criticism?
