First Contact: A flattering email received from one Diane Guerrero,(DG) from an
AOL email address stating ... |
November 25, 2004 |
PTW volunteer posed numerous specific questions to DG. |
November 26, 2004 |
DG responded with evasive answers, much double-speak, and more flattery while revealing an intention to modernize the text. |
November 26, 2004
|
PTW
volunteers prayerfully deliberated the matter; there was no confirmation that the Lord had
reversed His direction to PTW to retrieve the original manuscripts from all the
adulterations, truncations and modernizations that had occurred since the 17th century and
to only publish the manuscripts as they were given to JL. |
December 8, 2004 |
PTW's administrative contact sent an email notice to DG at her AOL address, that her "Request for permission was Denied" and stated the reasons why. This email reviewed that the PTW e-files were the intellectual property of others and ended with the following text..."In other words, to be very clear, Diane M. Guerrero and associates, DO NOT use any of the Jane Lead files from www.passtheword.org (or, for that matter, any other files from passtheword.org) for your personal publishing efforts. They are not to be converted, copied, modified, scanned, OCR'd, or otherwise used as source material for your efforts." |
December 8, 2004 |
DG acknowledged receipt of the above email from PTW. |
...then...until April 24, 2008 |
3 years and 4 months of NO CONTACT. |
April 25, 2008 |
DG writes from the same AOL email address to PTW on the pretense of asking a question about the availability of JL's last work in English. |
April 26, 2008 |
PTW volunteer answers her question and mentions remembrance of the former contact with DG. |
April 27, 2008 |
DG writes back, with her cover story attempting to assure PTW that she has not used material from PTW. She further states that she is now convinced that she should "enter into what is written rather than concern herself about publishing". She did not speak the truth, as you will see. {This email is shown below.} |
|
|
May 1, 2008 |
Just 4 days after her above email to PTW, DG's domain registration information for her new web site, janelead.org, was recorded in the public Whois database. {see image below} |
|
|
Late Fall, 2008 |
Those at
PTW were made aware that janelead.org was in existence and that there were many
similarities to be observed between the on-line appearance of the documents with those at
PTW. |
Early January, 2009 |
Periodic
visits to janelead.org revealed manipulations of JL's writings, and confirmed
many suspicious similarities in the renderings of the text. |
February 16, 2009 |
PTW sent a
1st Demand Letter to DG at the same AOL address that she formerly used in her 4/27/08
email to PTW. In this demand letter, PTW reviewed the history between them, her lack
of honesty in prior emails, and insisted that all the offending derivative works be
removed immediately from janelead.org until such time as DG would provide proof
that she has not used the copyrighted PTW e-files. |
February 20, 2009 |
PTW re-sent the 1st Demand Letter - this time to the AOL address listed in the Whois database (no response from this address either) with a second copy to DG's contact email address listed at janelead.org . |
February 20, 2009 |
DG finally responds from the janelead.org address with profuse assurances that she didn't use PTW files; DG attaches a jpg file showing the cover-page from her copy of an original of JL's Heavenly Cloud from the British Library, and she gives the name of her local reference librarian at the University of Idaho who assisted in obtaining it. Later, close examination of this graphic image, revealed that the source copy she had obtained was also copyrighted, this time by the British Library Board ! {see the image below} |
February 22, 2009 |
DG sent PTW a long email filled with excuses, convoluted double-speak, and obfuscations, ending with her absolute refusal to remove any files; DG also refused to provide the detailed 5 proofs that PTW required; DG offered only to provide 2 of the 5 (refusing to provide any proof of OCR capability or the required sample copies of her OCR outputs, without which there would be no proof on her behalf). |
February 27, 2009 |
PTW sent DG
an "update and 2nd Notice" insisting that DG comply with the requirement to
remove the items of concern [and specifically listing them by name] if she wished to show
good faith that she meant to prove her word that she has not stolen the PTW e-files of
JL's works on which to build her modernized editions. |
February 28, 2009 | PTW sent DG a short follow-up email pointing out that her copy of the original of Heavenly Cloud was copyrighted by the British Library Board. PTW asks twice for a copy of the release from the British Library Board allowing her to publish. Proof was never provided. DG's responses were curt and accusatory at this point. |
March 1, 2009 |
PTW asked by email again for OCR Software information (second request). |
March 2, 2009 |
DG sent back an evasive email ... brushing off the requirement ... now saying that she doesn't save her OCR output files. |
March 2, 2009 |
PTW insisted on seeing the OCR Software Information (third request); asked DG directly if she is refusing to provide proof that she owns OCR Software? No response from DG. |
March 4, 2009 |
PTW's further investigation of the text on janelead.org revealed more stolen text on DG's "Writings" page, where the descriptive text from PTW's "Bibliography & Index of the Authentic Works of Jane Lead" had been copied directly by DG onto her "Writings" page. PTW notified DG of this offense in detail and demanded that the illegally copied text be immediately removed. PTW reminded DG that they were still awaiting proof of her alleged OCR software (fourth request). DG did not remove the other offending text; no email response again. |
March 5, 2009 |
PTW noticed that DG had recently removed all acknowledgements of and references to PTW's 17th century authentic versions of Jane Lead's manuscripts from her website, janelead.org. DG had also removed all of her previous links to PTW and had removed the flattering references to the work of PTW as well. |
March 7, 2009 |
PTW sent a
detailed email notification to DG that the review of the two Heavenly Cloud materials that
she had provided were in no way sufficient to prove that she produced her own
e-files. |
March 11, 2009 |
PTW sent DG
a final email admonishing her for her poor witness and covert activities, reviewing with
her that a servant of the Lord should not be covetous, prideful, full of guile, use
deception, steal, make excuses or take credit for the work of others, appealing to her to
do the right thing, and stating that if the infractions were not corrected that PTW would
have no choice but to alert readers of Jane Lead of the illegal documents that she had
produced. |
Mid March, 2009 |
PTW
volunteers began documenting evidence of DG's copyright violations, and began preparation
of graphical representations in the form of screen-captures to possibly be used to report
the activities of Diane Guerrero, the Editor at janelead.org to her
Internet Service Provider. |
FURTHER EARLY ACTIVITIES AT janelead.org |
|
April 1, 2009 |
DG announced on janelead.org that printed booklets were now available for all her derivative SDV works of Jane Lead and that they would be sent out free of charge according to Matt. 10:8. |
April 20, 2009 |
DG uploaded another derivative work of Jane Lead - making a total of 8 pirated files thus far from PTW that had been changed, branded and printed for distribution and potential collection of "love offerings". |
May 28, 2009 |
Another derivative work of JL's was uploaded by DG; thus far 9 of the 20 works from PTW had been copied, converted into derivative works by DG, uploaded to her website and offered as booklets for distribution. |
June 10, 2009 |
The Report
of Copyright Violation was ready for review by authorities. PTW's online
administrative contact, RW, transfers the copyright violation complaint to PTW's
representative agent, who proceeded to notify authorities at DG's Internet Service
Provider (ISP) that copyright violations had taken place. |
MORE RECENT ACTIVITIES AT janelead.org |
|
2010 - Summer of 2012 |
The list of
illegal SDV editions of the writings of JL grew to 16. To cover her tracks, DG
converted all of the documents into PDF file format, so that no one could examine the
underlying stolen html code closely. |
Fall of 2012 - End of 2013 |
When her broken promises to provide free downloads of the SDV editions were exposed, the editor once again re-did both of her websites; first she offered free downloads of what she called the 17th century versions of JL 's files which were pirated and modified illegally from PTW. This went on for some time, while she was still trying to sell her SDV editions from her own websites. Then by Spring of 2013, she again began offering free downloads of her SDV editions. The free booklets offer did not reappear. She appeared to have reworked all of her files, re-naming all of them again...this time with an ambiguous 8 digit number to further obfuscate her fraud. With all her manipulations, we suggest that you do not trust her 17th century versions of Jane Lead's writing to be accurate to the authentic texts. |
Present Day |
PTW still
maintains, within their index listing of each of Jane Lead's authentic manuscripts, a
warning flag if an illegal SDV derivative exists, by inserting a "Reader
Alert" below the particular manuscript-name that has been modified by DG, so
that the readers of JL might not be deceived by the impostures offered currently at janelead.org.
Those interested in the number of name-changes/manipulations that have been done to
individual document files at janelead.org, can view them in detail, within each "Reader
Alert". |
