Hi!
I gather from reading the message below, that there is only a problem if
whole books are transmitted rather than a few sentences or page corrections?
Blessings.

Hi Judy et al,
Thanks for your patience in receiving my reply. As Carrie mentioned in her
email yesterday, this is a very difficult issue that doesn't lend itself to
obvious solutions. Yesterday's meeting with the Volunteer Advisory Team
(VAT) really helped me understand the community at large and made me privy
to ongoing concerns, processes and logistics, all of which I'm keen to
learn.
As background to Julie's initial response, Bookshare was alerted to a
problem situation and addressed it through a broad statement of policy. The
intent of stating the policy was certainly not to alienate nor discourage
anyone in the community. Instead, it was a reminder that transmitting whole
books, more than just pages, is indeed a violation of copyright and must be
avoided.
I am sorry that there was some misunderstanding around communication.
However, I believe through this forum, we have now been able to address the
real issue at hand.
I want to reiterate how important you all are to Bookshare and we do listen
to your concerns and feedback. Once again, thank you for your contributions
and continued support of Bookshare.
