Rick,

You have introduced an interesting point
for discussion...does Mr. Tarver have the
right to "divulge" the secrets that were
delivered at the workshop?

If there was no "confidentiality" contract
signed by participants, then he probably
is free to do what he wants.

Which brings up the point that several of the
promotions I have seen recently are including
confidentiality phrases in their marketing.

If you buy my tape, you must promise not to
tell anyone else my secrets...

If you come to this by-invitation-only seminar,
you must promise not to share the information
with anyone...

So if you learn the facts from the tape or seminar,
and assimilate the information into your very being,
what's to keep it from permeating any future
info product your creative mind might produce?

And if it does, have you violated the confidentiality
promise/requirement? Could you be held liable?

It seems intellectual property rights are getting
very interesting...
