Not only that, but (and I will comment later on the site) but I'd hate to get back to the days where we had to research, get permission, etc. to record a book. I appreciate those days being, I hope, forever over. I'd hate to have to see Bookshare, and RFB&D have to go back to writing for permission, researching for copies elsewhere etc. I think the amendment is better the way it is now!

I've not had time to read your blog, but I am wondering if you are going to try to get enough changes made that the Congress might want to tamper with the amendment and weaken it further than you believe it already is. It seems to be serving a very good purpose. I will have to take more time to look, of course, but people were wondering what makes you so deeply interested in this, especially if you are not qualified to use this system. What motivates your desire to have the changes made? I guess that last would really be my biggest question. Are you a professor? Do you work for the government? I really don't want to offend, but you did sort of visit out of the blue with this, and our consumer organizations are often on top of such things. Is there something going on in Congress that would make you think we need change? Right now there is a big issue going on in Congress concerning financing the upgrading of the Talking Books to digital, and that is pretty much hanging by a thread. Would we want to messwith this before we can see to that funding being in place?
