David;
A clarification if you will. What about recording of books not written
by yourself but not intended for commercial distribution such as for
libraries for the blind? Also what about the recording of books that
are in the public domain such as those from Project Gutenberg or from
Creative Commons.
Finally what is the policy of taking books from a sources like
bookshare.org and turning them into DAISY so that a user can play them
on a CD based DAISY playback device such as the VictorReader Classic.

While we are on the subject of voices there is one issue I would
like to mention. Most licenses for voices restrict your use of
them. In particular you are generally not permitted to distribute
recording made with them, such as DAISY digital talking books, for
example.
In the case of the Infovox iVox voices it would be permitted if you
wrote the content and are not a professional writer. In other words,
publication of audio files created with the Infovox iVox voices is
permitted if the content is personal and you are not publishing the
audio files as part of your professional or commercial activities.
For professional and commercial use Acapela Group has different
kinds of licenses. It is very gracious of Apple not to impose any
such restrictions, but probably easier for them too, as creating
voices is not their core business.
