This is why the DMCA exception for text to speech conversion is an important step forward -- because "incidental" to the process is a book in an accessible, unencumbered format. There are restrictions on what can be converted (I leave it to the reader to look them up -- it isn't hard) but even so it is an important step. --Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
