Zurich attorney takes on Scientologists
Zurich, Switzerland
May 9, 2000
http://www.blick.ch/by Thomas Heer
Zurich - The Scientologists are violating copyrights in the worst way: this is the view taken by renowned Zurich attorney and university docent Wolfgang Larese. Therefore the company which he represents, Prosys AG, will sue the organization.
The bone of contention is the personality test which consists of 200 questions, the so-called Oxford Capacity Analysis. Based on this test, thousands of people have found their way into the controversial organization. Sect expert Georg Otto Schmid said, "The test is not bad. But the Scientologists grade it so that many people fail and gratefully accept the organization's support."
In 1990, Swiss ex-Scientologist Tom Voltz bought the copyright to the test. The Scientologists had wanted to salvage the copyright from Voltz. He, however, would not let himself be intimidated, and turned for help to Zurich media lawyer Wolfgang Larese.
Voltz finally sold the copyrights to the PP Prosys Perception AG. And Larese is the sole executive board member of PP.
Prosys had already tried to validate its claim six years ago. "But the proceedings were suspended," commented Zurich Scientology chief Juerg Stettler. As far as Stettler is concerned, there is no doubt that the copyright to the test is held by the Scientologists.
At the time, Prosys did not pursue the process any further on financial grounds. Now it still wants to find out with a civil suit. Larese said, "In this, only the violation of the copyright must be proven, and not criminal conduct. This is simpler."
