RNIB also sends its disks to a recycling centre.

Perhaps TNAUK send their discs to a recycle center.  It would seem the
obvious thing for them to do.

Hi Derek,

It's a copyright issue. The deal is that you are allowed to make an
accessible version of something, in this case a newspaper, for someone who
would otherwise not be able to access it. And the big thing is that you do
not need the publisher's permission to do it. But it has to be for the
benefit of a (registered?) disabled person or particular group of people,
hence the subscriber list.

Which brings me on to a topic that nags at my environmental conscience.
Sending tapes back once you've listened to them makes sense but is there
really a point to sending back a CD? My understanding is that you order a
talking book and it arrives on CD with your name and address printed on the
CD and when you've finished you send it back. Do they rub out your name and
send the disk to the next person? Obviously not. Someone has worked out that
it's cheaper to burn a new CD each time and chuck the old ones in the bin.
That seems like a massive waste to me and the big loser is the Post Office
who have to return the CD when it's just going to end up in the bin. Or are
the Post Office given special rights to destroy the CDs on the return
journey?

Cheers,
Steve

Hi all
Any  views on the following:

TNAUK has a rule that files supplied by them are for the use of the
subscriber only.
So basically  those that subscribe to TNAUK service  should not
pass on  any  files partly, or wholly!

Now in the real world, a sighted person buys  news paper,  and is free to
pass on that paper to  whoever, what's the  difference?

Before we know were we are  we be having RNIB telling us not to pass on
Braille books or Braille  magazines! <smile>
Regards,
Derek
