RE: Mass. BBO file B1-97-0165 (William Sanford Durland III)

Dear Mr. Eisenhut:

I am responding to your request for more information on my request for an investigation into Massachusetts attorney Durland and Virginia attorney Bowers (VSB#36800) who is the attorney appearing in this case in Virginia.

Durland has not filed an appearance in Virginia but he is coordinating and representing Ms. Wright in Massachusetts. He claims in an attached letter to me that "I am is not involved in the pending legal proceedings in Virginia" . But this is clearly a misrepresentation as Bowers has billed Ms. Wright for numerous conversations with Durland. A partial extract of detailed billings starting with September 2002 is seen below.

9/03/02 Receive correspondence from Durland

9/06/02 telephone conference with Durland

9/9/02 Receive and review correspondence from Durland

9/10/02 Receive and review email from Durland

9/13/02 email to Durland

9/18/02 email from Durland

(Durlands SMOKING GUN NEXT LINE)

9/23/03 Receive and review email from Durland; receive and review correspondence and web sites from S. Durland

10/15/02 Email to Durland

10/16/02 Receive and review Email from Durland - 7 emails between parties

10/21/02 Letter to Durland

11/7/02 Letter to S. Durland

11/19/02 Receive and review Email from Durland

11/20/02 Email to Durland

11/21/02 Receive and review Email from Durland

11/25/02 telephone conversation with Durland

12/3/02 Receive and review Email from Durland

12/6/02 Receive and review Email from Durland

Now it should be clear I have not yet had the opportunity to see the details of these communications, but Durland is clearly involved in any and all efforts in this court case. Further he is a co-conspirator and equally responsible for the acts of his co-conspirator Bowers in Virginia.

Based on the billing note of 9/23/02, it is clear the conspirators are reviewing and evaluating the use of a private website I have on my home computer [[1]]. A few pages of the website are included herein, but due to the volume of 200 pages, I have not included all of it here. Over 200 pages of the web site were presented in court in Virginia. Never did I, the owner, give permission copying in toto this website.

It is a felony under federal law to copy a person's work and distribute it without explicit permission of the author ( 17 U.S.C Sec. 106. - Exclusive rights in copyrighted works and 506- Criminal offenses )[[2]]

As this work is registered in the Library of Congress, I am entitled to and have all protections permitted by state and federal laws pertaining to copyrights. It should be noted that such taking by these attorneys is the physical equivalent to walking up to my desk and removing a manuscript off my desk and taking it home. Reading a manuscript in my home is one thing, but to remove it from the premises, indeed steal it, is a horse of a different color.

To use an unfinished draft for improper purposes is unethical and illegal for anyone, be they an attorney or a person off the street. But as an trained attorneys who have passed the bar, Durland and Bowers have no excuse for knowingly conspiring and then committing illegal acts in the performance of their jobs as attorneys. It is to be noted that the printed version of the website was made on "11/13/02" as seen on the bottom of the web pages printed. Apparently this conspiracy was being planned between 9/23 and 11/13. Clearly This was not a rash act, but a carefully planned and executed criminal effort to purloin my web work in secret from my computer.

Upon my receipt of this work, I notified Durland and Bowers that I considered this work to be my property under copyright laws. Nonetheless the work was publicly displayed and filed in court despite my demands to destroy the printed copies.

Please notify me if you need additional supporting material.

Sincerely,

J. W. Wright

Sanford Durland

North Andover, MA 01845

Dear Ms. Bowers and Mr. Durland,

I have recently received a motion with a copy of my personal legal website attached as an exhibit from Ms. Bowers recent motion.

This is to notify you that this has been copied from my personal legal website that exists only on my computer at my home. I understand Ms. Wright and Mr. Durland have sued the other location at which I had an earlier copy of my website 50MEGS.COM

This exhibit copy represents part of a draft of a manuscript for a book I working on and also contains work product.

As such I consider this copyrighted material stolen from my computer located here in Virginia without proper permissions.

It contains work product for myself which has taken without proper permissions from myself. Such theft of work product is a major violation of bar ethics.

These acts in and of themselves violate numerous state and federal laws, as well as various bar judicial practices.

It is my demand that you destroy any and all copies in your possession, in your firm's possession, including paper or computer stored files, and copies distributed. Immediately. This may help mitigate the damages.

Further I demand you provide me a statement affirming this has been completed.

In the interim I shall begin writing a lawsuit and informing the bar associations of your behavior.

Sincerely,

J. William Wright III
