Just to be a nitpicker, no one said that the New York Times was contributing
books.

I have seen on the ppostings that Jesse helped from Sweden, and Peter Scialli, a longtime employee, is or was living in Virginia near Washington D.C.
And what are organizations who donate books to bookshare.org, such as the New York Times, going to think when their bestsellers are not in the collection???

The process of adhering to Bookshare's copyright requirements probablyan
includes the ability to prove to legal and computer skeptics that
Bookshare's file security doesn't have exploitable holes. The easiest hole
to exploit is a stolen computer and Benetech can't ensure the security ofaoffsite employee's computer. The alternative, managing a distributed workforce, is complicated and requires expensive electronic and human resources.
I think one of the reason's why Bookshare has survived is due to the
meticulous adherence to ethical and legal responsibilities associated with
distribution of copyrighted material. Although having only one gatekeeper
(Gustavo) creates delays, it does result in consistent decision making andof available commands, put the word 'help' by itself in the subject line.short chain of command for problems. I'm sure Bookshare's track record in copyright integrity is their best selling point when negotiating with lawyers at organizations like the New York Times and Washington Post.
