"Beneatb the Beauty"
Monday, March 15th. 20 to

You may have begun hearing that the docwnentary "Beneath the Beauty" is now out. It's been
showing in small venues around the valley and there are a few copies of the DVD floating around.
One county department I know of actually held a video viewing party.
Beneath the Beauty claims to be about "divisions and perceptions" and Ravalli County as the icon of
what's wrong with America. It's really more of a manufactured drama about people who got arrested
at one point or another and did not think it was fair.
(Funny side note: when searching for a link to the trailer on YouTube for some reason I kept typing in
"Behind the Beauty," which brought up cheerleader videos. Nice, but not what I was looking for.)
Being a newcomer to the valley, I found the movie confusing and hard to follow, especially since
although it was supposed to be about Ravalli County it spent a considerable amount oftime taping
people talking at a meeting in Libby (or was it Eureka). r may not be the best critic, however, since I
only sat through the first hour. ! stopped watching when failed Hamilton mayoral candidate Michael
Spreadbury and a friend went into a prolonged argument that Hamilton was not a legal political entity.
A DVD of the movie can be purchased through the Web site if you have a PayPa! aecount.1t will also
be shown Saturday March 20 at 5:30 p.m. at The Roxy in Missoula.

Dear Ms. Devlin,
Editor. Missoulian Newspaper
I am the owner of www.Bitterroot-rising,org which contains many photographs from the Lee Enterprises
newspapers. Under every photograph I take great effort to link the source, or the photographer who
took the photograph, no matter if it is a Lee Photograph or from a site based in Australia,

It is my understanding that any photograph that is not copy protected is free domain for use on the
internet. The Lee Enterprises photographs are not protected on your sites. and therefore not subject to
copywrite protections. People from all over the world are copying images from my site, and Google is
using them as displays for people like Oliver North. and executives from the NRA. amongst other
images,
The copywrite symbol (a circled c) was not present with your photographs, and are not unique property
to Lee Enterprises. The internet is a medium to share information, and if the Lee Newspaper group
wishes to protect its property, it needs to protect its photos from copy, or not post them at all.
To ask Ms. CO)( to remove photographs that were not copywrite protected is not a professional, nor an
ethical position to be coming from. This memo is asking Lee Enterprises to refrain from publishing the
ownership of websites prior to actually knowing the owner. The employees at Lee Enterprises seem to
mis-represent my site, and the fact that I do not own many sites. but I have been asked to contribute to
the content of sites owned by others.
As an editor of a newspaper, to ask for removal of photographs that were legally obtained and published
is problematic. As a request for respect for both parties, I would ask that Lee Newspaper personnel
refrain from asking any individual to stop a protected activity. In this regard, any furtherance of
demands. or requests would be seen by any neutral party as harassment in this matter.
Ms. Devlin, I have seen what Lee Enterprises does within Montana. Perhaps you are blinded as to the
effects, and alliances this company entertains. While I will not interfere with any communication
between you and Ms. Cox. information is free on the internet. Your messages speak in an opposite
direction.
Thank you for your time.

Ms. Cox,
Again, you are violating our copyright. It doesn't matter where you say you got the photographs.
They are the exclusive copyrighted content of the Ravalli Republic. You do not have permission

Michael,
I spoke with the police chief this morning about your letter. He said Mr. LaSalle didn't leave the scene of
the accident until after the police arrived. He also told me LaSalle was cited and the case has already
worked its way through the court system. The police chief also told me he was sure the Ravalli Republic
had written a story on the incident I could~t find the story our electronic archives, but I will look through
hard copies as soon as I have the opportunity.
Thank you.

September 14, 2007 involving Mike laSalle.
