(Snip tiresome Keene drivel)

i) Next TK squeals that by quoting his review of my Nimzo book in depth
that his copyright was infringed.

It appears Mr. Keene, or rather his waterboy Mr. Parr, in fact
republished the entire review, infringing Mr. Kingston's copyright.

I would reply that in his original
review of my book he quoted far more than would until recently have
been the permissible norm in the UK, and he didn't ask me first!

I'd suggest Mr. Keene consider that US copyright law might apply to a
US publication or website. Mr. Kingston's quotations from Mr. Keene's
book are considered "fair use". Now, if Mr. Kingston were to, say,
reprint a John Donaldson article in its entirety, that would be a
different matter.
