hired me on staff. Having watched Dr. Scott off camera as well as on camera, he

teachings and always wanted us to bring guests to the Sunday services. Dr. Scott
was always acted Honorably and Nobly. What you saw was what you got with

Scott was a master of gestalt instruction. Since 1982, I have listened to thousands
Before Dr. Gene Scott built his web site I purchased his lectures and book
reading tapes for additional review and study. Even before the web site creation,
Dr. Scott encouraged people to share his lecture tapes with others to get the
message of grace and salvation out to everyone. The only conditions Dr. Gene
Scott had was 1) not to financially charge fees, or to profit, from his work and, 2)
as with most college professors, give him credit for his work. Dr. Gene Scott
Dr. Gene Scott continued his policy of sharing by the creation of his web site
where one could access various lectures I sermons. Dr. Gene Scott stated that he
did not want money unless one received instruction and education. At that point,
one would give based on the value of the instruction and the moving of the Holy
Spirit, a tithe worthy to the teacher. Dr. Gene Scott built a worldwide church with
parishioners that would freely give money, who were moved by the Holy Spirit
The free and open access to Dr. Gene's Scott's web site in the public domain
was a continuation of Dr. Gene's Scott's sharing the grace and salvation message
of Jesus Christ.

say: "Pastors and laymen alike will want these tapes for their personal libraries
takes us into God's Word in a unique way that makes it come alive in practical
application to everyday life." Dr. Scott loved God's Word and encouraged his
Dolores Press could be freely bought for ourselves, friends, family, neighbors
etc. There were no limits whatsoever. They were freely available. As the
church proceeded into the 90s and the digital age was upon us, Dr. Scott
formulated his online website which made his messages easy access for those
with computers. I personally had a computer at home at the time and was able to
log in and select any subject I wanted to listen to freely. It was a blessing. Dr.
Scott felt strongly about providing us his teaching through every aspect of
communication. He was firm about that! And I have tape after tape of him
mentioning how his tapes are always playing round the clock. When Dr. Scott
became ill he made the promise to us that his works of 30 years would continue
round the clock until Jesus comes. Here is one of the quotes: Quote "This kind
of teaching is 24 hours round the clock. This kind of teaching is ageless. Any of
you that are under the illusion that I'm not going to be around a while and that
I'm not going to finish Romans, you are not just under an illusion, you are
delusional. I'll be around a long, long time. The unknown can get me. I've set my
life to the unknown and what is the known, and I've set my emotions for the
worst but when I know who the enemy is or what the enerpy is, I go into an
attack mode. Me and God, and you if you want to go along. You listen to
27
Case 2:15-cv-02857-R-PLA Document 115 Filed 02/05/18 Page 32 of 45 Page ID #:4470
teaching on these subjects, Pyramids, leaf cutting ants in Brazil, Walruses at the
denominations. It's amazing what you can see as you look at life. Pyramids, Lost
Tribes, various books of the Bible we've taught verse by verse. Round the clock
we are going, round the world by satellite and by short wave radio. You
shouldn't have to just listen to this Sunday night 4 hours and from 10-11 on 56.
Open your eyes to the other access media available. But for those who really
want the teaching, get a shortwave radio, you can pick it up anywhere in the
world, get a small dish ......then he goes into the reading on Velikovsky ofhis
teaching in 1987. This tape is dated 10/24/04, just four months later he went
that he's dead....his voice is eternal. He's still alive! (Although he's dead) You
could come to the Cathedral or to King's House 1 every Sunday and watch me on
a big screen, repeating the last 30 years and you would get more! I expect "my"
that much. I get fat sometimes and skinny sometimes. You know, God has
gifted me with white hair when I was 31 so that people couldn't tell how old I
was. But the voice is the same! The Word is the same! And I expect this
60-70 thousand hours of teaching, and I ain't even started yet! That's what this
ministry is and this church is about. We are taking the truth of God's Word to
the world. That's why this ministry exists, for my voice." Dr. Scott's
website was download accessible since cassette tapes were out dated and moved
28
Case 2:15-cv-02857-R-PLA Document 115 Filed 02/05/18 Page 33 of 45 Page ID #:4471
to digital. Dr. Scott wanted his students to have 'his' teaching available 24/7 and
when he was alive he made sure we had access to every available means of
communication to hear his teaching anytime of the day or night for our needs!
As Dr. Scott became more ill in his fmal days he wanted his wife to continue to
broadcast his messages. She promised she would. We witnessed him on stage
with his wife promising us his teachings, all ofthem, 60-70 thousand hours, and
30 years of his works to continue until Jesus comes. His wife stood right there
beside him and promised him and us she would. She failed in her promise.
Three weeks after he passed that website carne down. She kept making excuses
and said she would put it back up but never did. We have many more tapes and
videos with comments like the two examples above stating his wishes for his
teaching. What once was in the public's view was taken down and a death wish

in this matter will testify, to the facts set forth in this Affidavit based on firsthand
knowledge.

2005.
3. Dr. Scott wanted us to share his teaching, his voice, his messages, and he gave

4. Doc’s voice and teaching were shared worldwide, through satellite, shortwave,
5. Doc started his website in the late 90’s. His website included an archive of
messages that he allowed anyone to access, download, use, share, and have for
free.
6. His digital archives (“Works”) were available on the Internet1 for about nine (9)
7. To the best of my knowledge Dr. Scott never sent a single cease and desist letter
8. To the best of my knowledge Dr. Scott never sent initiated a single copyright
9. Dr. Scott’s conduct led me to believe that his Works were in the public
domain.
10. Said conduct was manifested in the following ways: (a) by making his Works
available for free to download from the Internet for nine (9) years; (b) by
encouraging all those aware of the Works to reproduce and distribute the Works
to others, without restriction of any kind other than attribution; and (c) by failure
After being a student of Doc for only a short time, my entire life, and direction I
was heading, was changed, and I was truly set free by God’s Grace. He often
beamed with pride, regarding all of the teaching he had amassed, and often

indicated that we, his students, would always have access to the teaching. He
even made statements that he would find a way to make something automated,
so that if the rapture took place that something would automatically take over
and play his teaching on a loop. He desired for us to not only listen to his live
broadcast, but to go to his archives, and find any message we would need. I
know that he was proud of his digitizing efforts, and had amassed some 5000
messages that he wanted the world to have access to, “till the Lord returns”, he
often said. He was in the processing of digitizing all of his works when he died,
He always wanted us to share the truths we’ve learned, and send people to his
website to get anything they needed. He allowed us to download for free any
message we wanted. I regret, terribly, that I had not the foreknowledge to see the
writing on the wall, and download his whole website. My collection was only a
couple of downloads, plus a couple of tape albums, some magazines and Doc
Notes. When his teaching became unavailable, within a few weeks after his
death, I was devastated. I knew he wanted his voice, his teaching, all of it,
available to the world, free access, no limitations… and it was all gone. My
ministry depended on his teaching; and I always pointed people to him as the
source of what I was trying to teach them, and I had often sent them to the
website to get their own teaching, straight from the source, which I could no
longer do. I was truly devastated. It was only later, that I was able to find a large
32
Case 2:15-cv-02857-R-PLA Document 115 Filed 02/05/18 Page 37 of 45 Page ID #:4475
collection of Doc’s teaching that someone had downloaded, and put up on the
This world needs the amazing instructive mind of Dr. Gene Scott, and he wanted
us to have access to all his teaching “for the rest of our lives”. He knew, and
stated many times that the evil forces in this world would kill him, and silence
his voice if it were possible, unless his followers would raise up and resist the
those forces. He knew that his teaching would be snuffed out whenever it came
up, but that there would be other places that it would pop up. He allowed us to
download his teaching, his archives, because he knew that once it was out there
in cyberspace, that there was no stopping it. He never registered any copyrights
on his teaching, any of it, but he did for all of his paintings. He was a very smart
man, and had he been concerned with protecting the copyrights on his teaching,
downloading of the digital files off his website. He knew his parishioners were
downloading, and I have a video, where he talks about another minister that was
complaining about people stealing from him, recording his messages off the TV,
and Doc states that everyone downloads his teaching off of the internet, and that
wasn’t a crime. He just didn’t want anyone to be selling the teaching… to profit
His overt actions by letting us download for free, knowing that we were sharing
the teaching, just like he said we would want to do on his cassette tapes, clearly
33
Case 2:15-cv-02857-R-PLA Document 115 Filed 02/05/18 Page 38 of 45 Page ID #:4476
places his teaching in the public domain, and the world should have free access
to at least what he had in his archives, plus maybe what everyone had already
purchased on cassette tapes, since the inserts state, that not only would we want
also would want to share them with others. Dr. Scott wanted his voice and
teaching, all of it, flowing over the world, through all media, until Jesus returns.
He often expressed those desires to his students. And… he often stated that, “the
world is my parish”, not just that one church in Glendale that his doing anything
but spreading his teaching. He was listening to J. Vernon McGhee one day, and
was bragging that he was dead, yet still alive through his teaching, and he was
talking to his wife as he stated that that is what he wanted for his voice, for all of
his teaching. That people wouldn’t know if he was dead or alive because the
Dr. Gene Scott, PHD’s actions, and desires expressed over the years, in regards
could do, to help him spread that teaching, freely, all over this world.
13. I don’t recall the year I followed the instructions from Dr. Scott’s website for
downloading Real Audio to listen to his teachings but their date ranges covers
from 1996 through 1999. See Exhibit 1, Dr. Scott’s instructions for downloading
“Real Networks” Real Audio program to listen to his messages through the
years.

RealAudio is a proprietary RealAudio is a proprietary audio format developed by RealNetworks and first released
in April 1995. It uses a variety of audio codecs, ranging from low-bitrate formats that can be used over dialup
modems, to high-fidelity formats for music. It can also be used as a streaming audio format that is played at the
same time as it is downloaded. In the past, many internet radio stations used RealAudio to stream their programming
over the internet in real time. In recent years, however, the format has become less common and has given way to
more popular audio formats.
RealAudio was developed as a streaming media format, meaning that it can be played while it is downloaded. It is
possible to stream RealAudio using HTTP. In this case, the RealAudio file is retrieved similarly to a normal web
page, but playback begins as soon as the first part is received and continues while the rest of the file is downloaded.
