You CAN quote extracts from Dr Kate's book here

Dr Kate McCann is busy tweeting tonight that her 'lawyers' [plural] are watching and that they will take any action against a breach of her copyright.

I must emphasise that the law allows fair use of or fair dealing in copyrighted material (see below) and allows you to make 'fair comment' on the contents.

The ground rules are essentially that you must not quote large chunks of the book, but you ARE able to reproduce modest-sized sections for comment and then comment on them.

As with any other situation, libel laws must be borne in mind; direct accusations incur the risk of libel actions; legitimate comment and vigorous questioning ARE allowed, please see this VERY IMPORTANT recent legal decision in the Simon Singh case:

WIKIPEDIA ON UK LAW AND FAIR DEALING:

United Kingdom
See also: Copyright law of the United Kingdom

Under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA), fair dealing is limited to the following purposes: research and private study (both must be non-commercial), criticism, review, and news reporting (sections 29, 30, 178). Although not actually defined as a fair dealing, incidental inclusion of a copyrighted work in an artistic work, sound recording, film, broadcast or cable programme doesn't infringe copyright.

Contrary to the often stated view, the provisions of section 29 of the CDPA do not restrict the amount of a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work that may be copied for the purposes of non-commercial research or private study to a "reasonable proportion" of the work or to single copies of the work, where the copies are made by the researcher or student himself.

Such restrictions only apply to copies made by or on behalf of a librarian (by virtue of s. 40), or by a person, other than the researcher or student himself, who knows or has reason to believe that "it will result in copies of substantially the same material being provided to more than one person at substantially the same time and for substantially the same purpose" (by virtue of parag. s. 29(3)b).

For copying beyond the boundaries of fair dealing, universities and schools in the UK obtain licences from a national copyright collective, the UK Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA). Under these licences, multiple copies of portions of copyrighted works can be made for educational purposes.

Gerry lowered the shutter at the open window. Rushing outside, he made the sickening discovery that
it could be raised from this side, too, not just from inside as we’d thought.

Once again I will state, I have had shutters like these, albeit wooden ones, You CANNOT raise them more than a few inches from the outside.

I have had them in various houses, indeed it is impossible, it would require for the roll mechanism to be broken.
They are called hurricane curtains where I live now.

On 4 May 2007, I became Kate McCann. According to my passport, driving licence and bank account I was Kate Healy. I
hadn’t kept my maiden name for any particular reason – it was just who I was and who I’d always been. But when Madeleine
was taken, the press automatically referred to me as Kate McCann, and Kate McCann I have been ever since. Overnight our
old life had gone and I’d become a different person.

I find this little titbit very interesting.
IF this is true, WHY did she use McCann to sign the creche records every day?

I think Kate has trouble with names: McCann, Healy, Maddie, Madeleine, Amoral, Amaral.

She should see a doctor for that.

A good one.

I believe Kate has trouble with the truth per se.

In her egocentric view of the world everything has to revolve around her and she can't deal with anything else.

I agree, but Baronstu is right that the signing of the check in-out sheet is very interesting.
Wasn't there also a problem that she signed Madeleine out the 3rd but her book said she found Gerry waiting with the kids in the Tapas bar.

I agree on that point to. There are far to many inconsistencies in the Mccanns timing, heralding the fact they were concealing the true facts.

Hence the refusal of KM to answer the questions posed by the PJ/

From Chapter 15 - Summary and Critique - Tony Bennett

Dr Kate: “On the night of 1 September I dreamed about Madeleine for the first time on four months…it was such a dreadful experience…Although I was dreaming, I could feel her. It was as if parts of my body that had been hibernating for months suddenly began to stir. I could sense the cold, dark days lifting as I luxuriated in warmth and light. And Madeleine was holding me, her little arms wrapped tightly round me, and it felt so good, I could smell her, I could feel her with every one of my senses as I soaked up this heavenly moment. My Madeleine. I wanted to stay like this for ever. And then I woke up. Ice began to course through my body, driving out every endorphin and remnant of warmth. I didn’t understand. What was happening? How could this be? I could still feel her! A heavy boot connected with my stomach and the ache in my chest was worse than I’d known it. I was struggling for breath, almost as if I were being strangled. Please God, don’t let her go! Stay with me, Madeleine. Please stay with me. Don’t go - stay with Mummy. Please, sweetheart, hold on. I love you so much. I started to cry. The crying built into seismic sobs. An unearthly sound, like the howl of a wounded animal, was coming out of my mouth. The crushing pain in my chest intensified to the point where I thought I was going to die. I’d been with her. And then she was gone. Again”.

That sounds like the moment Madeleine died. And she was there.

So what happened on May 1st?
And why was dreaming about that such a dreadful experience?
And why use the phrase 'please hold on', like you would when someone was letting go of life, or a means of support of some kind, whereas when someone is holding you wrapped in her arms, you would use: don't let go of me, don't let me go, keep your arms around me, hold me tight, etcetera etcetera.

Why:' stay with Mummy' instead of: 'stay with us'?

Imo Kate McCann has experienced that very scene, but not in a dream.

I have to agree with you but this is what they intended - they knew there would be a time/backup plan - when the Fund started to dry up they would need a source of income. This is how they intended to feed.

"Gerry lowered the shutter at the open window. Rushing outside, he made the sickening discovery that

The material point is they can't have it both ways - "the shutters jemmied" and "it could be raised from this side too, not just from the inside"

If this was correct then why the jemmied shutters.

I think she is describing a "real event" too. This "unearthly sound, like the howl of a wounded animal" is truly the exact noise at the moment someone you love passes. I have experienced this - you do howl almost instinctively - I think it is something you cannot control. Kate is describing it exactly.

"erry went off to fetch them. The shop was only about 25 feet away, yet when he called to me asking me to give him a hand with the five ice-creams he was paying for, I was momentarily torn. Would the children be OK on the bench while I nipped over? I hurried across, watching them all the time.
How could I balk at leaving the kids to run a few yards for ice-creams and feel comfortable with the child-checking arrangement we had at dinner?"

You and me both Kate if that is what you really did.

That's an awfully long sentence to say "Would the kids be safe? Bugger it, I'm going anyway."

Nothing's changed has it Kate? Just that you are even more aware of the dangers of leaving your kids alone even though you still do it.

What strikes me again here - it's Madeleine who has to hold Mummy, not the other way round.I would without fail be dreaming of me holding her safe. The methaphores used betray an average hack as a ghost writer. Boot in the stomach, chest pain, being strangled and howling
I've bolded the overuse of methaphors and the disconnected words used - too much of a good thing seismic or unearthly, not both. Etc. less is more Kate.
I find this very unconvincing - it's all about Kate again isn't it?
O yes, and with the endorphin we get her scientific mind as well - just so we know she's a doctor.

Totally agree Jd. Sounds like an accident has occurred and she is willing Madeleine to cling on to life, feeling hopeless that, despite being a doctor that she can do nothing to save her.
