[Dtb-talk] [macvoiceover] Re: Olearia first public release (version 0.90b)

[Greg Kearney]

An important note: Olearia, and for that matter no other software  
based player, can not play NLS books. THis is due to the NLS refusing  
to approve software players to have access to their encryption.

We are working with RFB&D to be able to ply their encrypted books and  
expect a solution to that soon.

If you are bothered by the NLS restriction on playback of their books  
I would urge you to contact your representatives in congress.
