I got a notice today from MOXON & KOBRIN Attorneys at Law representing
   the Church of Scientology International (CSI) and Religious Technology
   Center (RTC) stating infringement Under the Digital Millennium
   Copyright Act for a web site I currently mirror at
   [1]http://xenu.pacer.com. It appears that some of the infringements may
   be true ( I will have to look to be sure) but what really gets me is
   the part quoted below.. They are saying since "Scientology",
   "Dianetics", "Hubbard" and "NOTs" are registered trademarks they cannot
   be used in metatags in a webpage... The restriction in use of words in
   a web page is just flat out censorship.. Absolutely ridiculous... It
   would be one thing if someone used the words to represent a business..
   But I would think metatags at the very least would fall under the "Fair
   Use" clause.



   Quoted from email
