Ottawa Canada You know any time I have spoken with Judy Dixon on the telephone or corresponded with her, she has come across as pretty candid and outgoing.
I wouldn't be surprised if her "canned replies" are what she has been told to send out in response to enquiries about the curtailment of Web Braille. Let's not mean mouth Ms Dixon too much. I haven't spoken with her about the Web Braille situation and my input as a Canadian would not count for much as it is a service specifically open to eligible Americans. I'm not sure what the specific concerns that have lead to the curtailment of Web Braille are, but from the tone of Chris Grey, the President of ACB's call for action on the ACB-L mailing list, it seems someone at NLS got seriously concerned over either copyright infringement that has already occurred, or that could occur. If you would like to see his post, please e-mail me privately, as the BrailleNote list is NOT an appropriate forum to re-post Chris Grey's call for action. Also, NLS is funded by the hard-earned tax dollars of Congress, so it must live with the strings that come firmly attached to those dollars. I'm not trying to put words in anyone's mouth, but I've worked in government and know that in Canada at least, even government has to observe the law.
