3 A. I have heard that there are mirror sites, yes.
4
5 Q. Yes. And the Mcspotlight web site, that is my terminology,
6 it will probably go wrong because I don't know anything
7 about this, but Mcspotlight web site is a web site by
8 which, or through which, information relating to
9 McDonald's, and this case in particular, may be put on to
10 the Internet; that is right is it not?
11 A. Say that again?

31 complained of in this case did you not?
32 A. I did not put anything on to it.

40 the whole of the fact sheet was on the Internet?

47 A. No, I knew there was various information on there about
48 McDonald's, I knew that the witness statements were on
49 there but, no, I don't recall knowing that the fact sheet
50 was on there until you brought it up in court, whenever it
51 was, about a month ago, or a month and a half ago.
52
53 Q. So you have really had nothing much to do with this despite
54 the fact that it was done under the auspices of the Mclibel
55 support campaign?

57 support campaign.
