“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“How about those people selling those tapes? Should we forget about that?”

(Recently Jane was told that a complete set of class tapes, with transcripts was being offered by someone on the West Coast for around $255.00 for 55 of them—$5.00 or thereabouts a tape. During a call to Tam this morning, he advised Jane to “put a stop” to the affair before it went too far—to at least write the people involved a letter. Jane has asked Sheri Perl for the names and addresses to do this, and plans to write a letter. We think the quality of the tapes must be very poor. There’s also copyright infringement, since some of the class sessions have been published. Jane is against the whole thing on esthetic and invasion-of-privacy grounds, not monetary ones so much, and I guess my feelings about it all are too ambiguous. At the same time, it all sounds familiar, as if we heard about someone doing the same thing last year, say.

At the most a letter from Ruburt. My framework is different from yours. I do not see how such people can hurt you in any way. If you wanted to make money from the tapes, you could have. If they make money from the tapes, you do not make less.

I am quite aware, however, that such affairs can appear quite complicated, but your situation cannot be threatened by such people unless you allow it to be. Good ideas are going out into the world. The tapes are not artistically produced. They are not tapes of quality in that regard. They are tapes of quality in another regard, and they cannot be reproduced forever.
