taking down messages for Dr. Scott. The last four months of 1996 Dr. Scott

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

was the same man, either way. As a camera man on Festival of Faith, I heard

many behind the scenes conversations. He always said he wanted us to share his

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

this man. I thank God for Dr. Scott’s teachings.

11. Said encouragement was manifested by Dr. Scott's conduct as follows:

My first experience with Dr. Gene Scott started in 1982 when my father,

Edmund J. Brown, took me to King's House 1. We were proud to be King's House

Number 51704. At the time, I did not truly understand, or appreciate, the in depth

knowledge Dr. Scott had with comparative religions, world history, world

Case 2:15-cv-02857-R-PLA Document 115 Filed 02/05/18 Page 16 of 45 Page ID #:4454

geography, philosophy, mathematics, science, and general education. Dr. Gene

Scott was a master of gestalt instruction. Since 1982, I have listened to thousands

of hours of lectures I sermons from Dr. Gene Scott.

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

always had an issue with plagiarism which he equated as theft.

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

after receiving instruction.

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.

In between teachings on television/radio and on Sundays, my parents also had

tapes they had been given or had purchased. As technology accelerated, Doc had

placed all his teachings on a website accessible to the public in which they were

able to study, download and share at will for God's glorious Truth. I was able to

access this website for a time until Doc's widow removed them indefinitely. For

reasons unknown this same widow is vindictively persecuting parishioners

whom are sharing tape/file messages they were encouraged to share just less than

22
Case 2:15-cv-02857-R-PLA Document 115 Filed 02/05/18 Page 27 of 45 Page ID #:4465

4. Doc’s voice and teaching were shared worldwide, through satellite, shortwave,

Web TV, and cable.

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)

years before his death, which occurred on February 21, 2005.

7. To the best of my knowledge Dr. Scott never sent a single cease and desist letter

pursuant to his Works.

8. To the best of my knowledge Dr. Scott never sent initiated a single copyright

infringement lawsuit pursuant to his Works.

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

to enforce his copyrights as indicated herein.

11. Said encouragement was manifested by Dr. Scott’s conduct as follows:

12. Dr. Scott repeated multiple times he could be dead 20 years and no one would

ever know he was dead. He frequently mentioned that the archives (works)

would always be available to his students and the world. We could refer those

Case 2:15-cv-02857-R-PLA Document 115 Filed 02/05/18 Page 28 of 45 Page ID #:4466

interested in his teaching to the archives (works) and programming to answer

their questions. The archives (works) would always be available for us to

reference as desired. Dr. Scott requested parishioners to will or donate real estate

to the ministry for the perpetuation of his teaching as well as tithes and gifts for

the same purpose. During the last year of his life Doc continued to work very

hard to make sure there would be enough assets, donations and pledges to keep

the teaching going at the Cathedral every Sunday on the big screen and on the

network after his passing and he states the archives (works) would always be

available to us for the rest of our lives. We and our daughter tithes on every

nickel we earned as well as the sale of our home because Doc promised his

teaching and archives (works) would always be there for us and to reach others.

Dr. Scott used not only the Bible, science, math, history, geology, geography and

archaeology as well as ancient manuscripts and languages to teach the reality of

Christ and the truth of the Bible. We believed Dr. Scott’s teaching would and

should be available as he repeatedly stated, and we committed our income and

lives to make sure that happened.

11. Said encouragement was manifested by Dr. Scott's conduct as follows: When I

became a student and parishioner of Dr. Scott in 1982 he would give out his

tapes free just for the asking, or you could buy them at Dolores Press book store.

On every tape I have gotten is the statement, which I still have in my possession

Case 2:15-cv-02857-R-PLA Document 115 Filed 02/05/18 Page 31 of 45 Page ID #:4469

say: "Pastors and laymen alike will want these tapes for their personal libraries

as messages to be reviewed often and SHARED WITH OTHERS. Dr Scott

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

teaching in all manners of communication. Tape cassettes that were sold at

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

arctic which remind me of deacon boards, their organization and their

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

home. Another quote: In reference to J. Vernon McGee, it doesn't matter

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"

voice to be on television, radio, and the INTERNET because I haven't changed

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

ministry to be occupying the arenas of communication til Jesus comes! I have

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

promise was not kept.

11. Said encouragement was manifested by Dr. Scott’s conduct as follows:

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

1

31
Case 2:15-cv-02857-R-PLA Document 115 Filed 02/05/18 Page 36 of 45 Page ID #:4474

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,

and within 3 weeks, all the teaching was gone.

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

torrents. Thank God for the people who did that.

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,

as rich as he was, he would have registered everything, as well as preventing

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

off of his teaching. All he wanted was attribution.

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

the messages to be in our personal libraries, to be reviewed often, but that we

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

tapes would keep playing.

Dr. Gene Scott, PHD’s actions, and desires expressed over the years, in regards

to his teaching, placed a call on my heart, and in my spirit, to do whatever I

could do, to help him spread that teaching, freely, all over this world.

12. I have downloaded Dr. Scott’s teachings from the Archive.

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.

34
Case 2:15-cv-02857-R-PLA Document 115 Filed 02/05/18 Page 39 of 45 Page ID #:4477

14. I followed Dr. Scott’s instructions from the website page and I successfully

downloaded the Real Audio Player2 to my computer.

15. I do recall depending on the size of the files some took longer to download than

others but as modem speeds increased the download time was much shorter.

16. I downloaded a few files from the Archive and possibly the pages listed and was

able to play them on my personal computer for my own viewing whenever I

wish.
