A warning to all publishers of Rudolf Rocker texts
nn - 15.03.2011 13:34

Heiner M. Becker recently pressed charges against one or more persons suspected to be contributors of a German language syndicalist site, syndikalismus.tk. That site provided a PDF file with Rudolf Rockers «Anarcho-syndicalism», a well know text that was not published in German beforehand.

Heiner M. Becker claims to be the exclusive owner of all Rudolf Rocker copyrights, given to him by his friend Fermin Rocker, Rudolf Rockers son, who died in 2004. Becker re-edited the German language version of Rockers "Nationalism and Culture" some 12 years ago. He was awarded a loan of more than EUR 10,000 for that project on behalf of German FAU members – a loan that he had not repaid by the end of 2010.

Heiner M. Becker once was considered to be a member of the anarchist community. He has been well known in England, were he was a regular contributor to «THE RAVEN - anarchist quarterly» and other publications of FREEDOM PRESS as well as in France where he had friends in the Anarchist Federation. In the 90th he was one of those to acquiring estates of anarchists for the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam. By this he is supposed to have become one of the worlds biggest contemporary private collectors of anarchist books and iconography.

Heiner M. Becker seized to have relations with the anarchist community years ago. Nowadays he is a member and the treasurer of a local party-like middle-class political grouping in his hometown. His publishing house, «Bibliothek Thélème» has not publish anything for years.

It is not known yet why he started filing against other suspected publishers of Rudolf Rocker texts without even trying to get in contact with them beforehand. But it is not unlikely that he will not only try to file against publishers of German language Rocker texts, but against those in other languages too, once the national copyright laws are favourable for him. So this should be dealt with as a warning to the community.

For most anarcho-syndicalists it will be a matter of course, that the ideas and publications of Rudolf Rocker are the heritage of the global anarcho-syndicalist movement. And not the playing field of the doutable aspirations of whatever salesman.

multiply the txts as much as possible 
a fellow anarchist - 15.03.2011 17:22




What a small minded little sucker! He must be holding a grudge, to try to charge people with copywrite violations, when he should know that anarchist thought can not be owned or copywrited.

It was already a wise choice to take a .tk site, for it is problably more difficult to charge someone that is lokated in Tokelau in the pacific, but offcourse if you have been traced to your home country than this might become a problem (not saying you actually did this, but he somehow is charging you now).

What other anarchists/anarcho-syndicalists can do to support the people being charged right now is to multiply and publish the texts as often as possible. This will make it harder and more costely for this wanker to get his narrow minded capitalist will imposed. And when he does find you just take it down when he starts charging you and let someone else put it up on a new site untill he found you there and do it again, get as many people as possible to do this and he will quit.

another option is to re-publish on a secure untraceable site and then put a lot of links everywhere. not sure it these sites exist, but sure people will have suggestions
