The book has been banned again in PORTUGAL, what about the internet access?

[Miss Taken Identity]

The book by  G. Amaral" "Truth about the lie" has been banned again by Court in Lisbon. Do you think this will impact the rest of Europe's access to the book , or the global audience as it is available world wide on the net? or do you think the doors being shut after the horse has bolted scenario has occurred i.e  two police forces are now 'searching' for Maddie so  the claim the book has impeded the search is a nonsense.

There are many different countries involved in hosting the websites - if they were all in the UK they might well be gone already.

But they could try to block access and maybe now they will.

And sharing PDFs ? How can anyone control that ?

The horse bolted has already bolted.

Too late for anything the Portuguese judge can do anything about.

Facebook's reach, as Alfie has told us, is enormous. If every member of the Madeleine forums share the PDF on their timeline can you imagine how many people can be reached ? And it' won't cost the reader a bean.

Like so http://www.ukoverload.com/holding/download/Maddie.pdf

No I meant it can't be controlled. Sorry for confusing

The ban relates to the production and distribution of the book and dvd, it has no impact whatsoever on the internet.

That is true - once the toothpaste is out of the tube it is impossible to get it back in again (I know - I tried once).

But I suggest Amaral is only interested in people buying his book with cold hard cash which mean royalties for him (or did!)

If that was the case why hasn't he or his publishers sued for copyright infringement ?

Who is he going to sue? You?

If he felt the need yes.

If he felt the need yes.

He'd have to find out your real ID first, and the dozens of other anonymous copyright infringers.  Could be costly and I think money's a bit tight for him at the moment...

I believe it would be his publishers who would filed the suit.

It (ie the court verdict) won't make an iota of difference IMO, just like it didn't the first time around. Besides, from what I have read, even though it is not "official" yet, the court rejected that the book had been a hindrance to the "search" IIRC

And not to mention the fact that no one,except police states, have been able to control the internet. But lastly, I doubt anyone who wanted to read the book hasn't been given ample chance to do so in the last few years, so it is a fairly moot issue. And on that note, goodnight.
