What!!! I can't imagine anyone doing such a thing. Anybody that would do that probably duplicated NLS cassettes too (for shame).

Like the way none of us ever coppied regular talkingbooks; because we weren't sure we could ever get them again, or what shape they'd be in?Never. Grin.----- Original Message ----- From: "Donald L.

After all, the headphone jack does constitute a security risk. We certainly don't want these blind people making analog copies and then distributing them, possibly for profit.

NLS has invested heavily in convincing everyone from Congress to the press that their method is secure, proprietary, and exclusive. That's why they've needed so many years and millions of dollars for research. Since Humanware won the bid for designing their players, it stands to reason that a perceived or actual rival would be locked out. If NLS let you transfer files with a normal computer or a Book Port, they might have to admit to Congress that most of their antics over the past ten years were for show, not practicality. I'm not normally a negative person. However, I've seen NLS and other agencies play this game too many times before, and it really bugs me. It doesn't make it more pleasant because I understand the rules of this game.
