Walt,
Are you saying that it is illegal to listen to Web Braille as texy on
the Bookport, or am I misunderstanding?

Barbara -
This is precisely the same argument that got me into hot water here last
week and I will not participate further except to say that your
librarian is correct and that if you're going to break the law; no
matter how technical such lawbreaking may seem to be; don't tell anybody
and don't talk about it on a public list unless it's a hackers list
dedicated to people who don't respect the copyright law or who don't
think it applies to them because they're blind and, therefore, entitled.

I learned it from the NLS Librarian at the library in Sacramento. I told
her that I was going to read the files as text on Book Port and she said
that she didn't hear that. Also, it says on the Web-Braille sight that
the files cannot be converted into e-books and read as text. However, my
Kurzweil program let me download the .brf file as text without any
problem.
