[blindlaw] Fw: Reading Rights Coalition Urges Authorsto AllowEveryone Access to E-books

[Jack Chen]

How would the problem be stated best?  Is it an issue with having to 
register at all or is it a problem with the perception that such a 
registration list would label individuals as disabled?  My apologies if my 
basic question offends anyone -- I'm just trying to understand the problem 
better.
