Former Portuguese detective Gonçalo Amaral wins appeal in damages trial.

[Alice Purjorick]

Would you care to explain why?

Because the information was in the public domain. The Judiciary made the files available for the public thereby relinquishing their exclusive rights to the content.
The issue is "were the files in the public domain when the book was published"? ; answer yes.
Next define what public domain means. You can Google that as well as I can.
You will find "Levy" is not listed as a precondition of anything. Now there's a major surprise

"They are basically saying, 'If you confess Madeleine had an accident, and that I panicked and hid the body in a bag for a month then got rid of it in a hire car, I'd get two or three years' suspended sentence.'

The source of the thesis was the author of the book so it wasn't an independent idea.

Of course, Amaral alone is responsible for the death thesis, no other officer in the force, nor anyone else in human existance had ever even considered it, other than that fat sweaty b*stard.

The files are deemed to be in the public domain when the case is archived and the judiciary cease to have exclusive rights to the content. The law will only deal with public domain so when the files were first printed off is irrelevant. It might have been a year later for all I know. Some cases may never have been printed off but remain in the public domain.
