[>] ”trade secrets”: The crux of Scientology's various lawsuits against its critics on the Internet and against such publications as theWas.h.i.+ngton Post has been media publication of its confidential OT (Operating Thetan) doctrine, which Scientology has called one of its ”trade secrets.” A 1995 article t.i.tled ”Freedom of Speech at Risk in Cybers.p.a.ce,” in Scientology's Freedom magazine (volume 28, issue 1), asks, ”When was the last time the formula for Coca-Cola ran in the morning paper?” and goes on to equate the secret soft-drink formula with Scientology's ”sacred and confidential religious scriptures,” which, it notes, ”are also subject to legal protection under copyright and trade secret law.” For more information on Scientology's trade secrets argument, see Religious Technology Center v.
