As anyone who has today purchased The Sun newspaper will know, the title of this short piece appears at various points in the papers exclusive serialisation of Kate McCann's book Madeleine.
It is now clear that this warning was no idle threat, as this morning I received a 'TAKE DOWN NOTICE' from the Corporate Legal Enforcement Team, who act for News Group Newspapers Limited and Times Newspapers Limited - publishers of The Sun and Sunday Times respectively (collectively 'News International').
The notice related to content which had been published on this site (including text and pictures) from the unpublished book written by Kate McCann - and which had been reproduced here from content originally published on The Sun website.
It pointed out that News International controls copyright in relation to the unpublished book and that Further News Group Newspapers Limited owns or controls copyright in the accompanying article published in The Sun newspaper, and online, on 07 May 2011.
Given that neither I, nor this site, hold any copyright over the material referenced in the notice, I have complied with this legal demand and now removed the articles. And whilst I could puff my chest out and make rebellious noises, the fact is it would signify nothing.
Better to concentrate time and effort on the search for the truth about whatreally happened to Madeleine and accept the absence of any extracts from Kate's book. Whilst that is certainly unfortunate, it is, on the basis of extracts so far published, unlikely to impact on the continuing search for the truth.
~o0o~
It seems that it is fine to spam our inboxes with viral videos and emails on behalf of the McCanns, but individuals are forbidden from passing on the daily news?
If these articles and extracts from the book cannot be copied and spread amongst the masses, then they are obviously not being printed to benefit Madeleine McCann in any shape or form.
Another day, another dollar and a clear indication that money is all that matters to certain people.
Just who is hampering the search for Madeleine McCann? The Sun - get back in line.
