The Urantia Book [SEP] Copyright status
In 1991, after having compiled an index of "The Urantia Book" and distributed free copies via computer disk and printouts, Kristen Maaherra was sued by the Urantia Foundation for violating their copyright on the book. In 1995, Maaherra won a Summary Judgment declaring the Urantia Foundation's copyright renewal invalid. Upon appeal, the judgment was reversed and awarded to the Urantia Foundation. Four years later, in 1999, Harry McMullan III and the Michael Foundation published a book, "Jesus–A New Revelation", which included verbatim 76 of the 196 papers included in "The Urantia Book". McMullan and the Michael Foundation subsequently sought a legal declaration that the Urantia Foundation's US copyright in "The Urantia Book" was either invalid or, alternatively, that the copyright had not been infringed upon.
