''NXIVM Corp. v. The Ross Institute'', 364 F.3d 471 (2004), was a United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit decision that held that defendants’ critical commentary of material obtained in violation of a non-disclosure agreement was fair use despite bad faith on the part of the defendants in obtaining the material. ==Facts== NXIVM offered a seminar training program called Executive Success involving a methodology NXIVM claimed improved communication and decision-making. NXIVM provided a manual as part of the seminar to its participants who signed non-disclosure agreements not to release the manual to others. Rick Ross was a “cult deprogrammer” who maintains two websites to provide information about controversial groups that had complaints against them of mind control. Ross received the NXIVM manual through one of its seminar participants and commissioned two reports by two authors who analyzed and critiqued the manual, quoting sections of the manual in support their analysis. The reports were published on Ross’s websites and the Executive Success program was added to Ross's list of "cults." About 17 of 500 pages were republished by Ross. The United States District Court for the Northern District of New York denied a preliminary injunction against the defendants to remove the material from Ross’s websites. Plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NXIVM Corp. v. Ross Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
