[Nfbc-info] DIGITAL ACCESS TO 80 MILLION BOOKS

[Brian Buhrow]

	Hello.  As many on this list know, the NFB has spent a lot of time and
money working to gain access to the digital copies of books Google scanned for
university libraries as part of its digital project.  Last week the courts
ruled that providing access to these copies for disabled individuals is not
an infringement of the copyright law.  Below is a link to the story as
heard on NPR's All Things Considered on Tuesday June 10, 2014.   This link
opens the audio file directly.

Enjoy!
-Brian
