New Petition Seeks to Gain Support of Access to Books for All A new petition has been launched which seeks to gain support of writers and others for equal access to printed material. Some groups, including some book publishers, oppose this idea claiming it will circumvent their copyrights of the books. But others consider the ability to read the same books as everyone else a fundamental right. The treaty will be discussed at the World Intellectual Property Organization meeting in Geneva next week. Thanks to @circulating on Twitter for sending this in. Via Boing Boing ---------------- "If you go without playing the trumpet for one day, no one knows, two days, only you know, and more than three days without practicing, girl you better look out, because everyone will know!" Today, I find myself constantly saying those words, just to get myself going, to not give up, and it works. Since I learned to play the trumpet at the tender age of 10, I have spent so much passion and much diligence with that instrument that I will not give up on it. Sometimes my instrument puts me into awkward situations where I feel like they won't ever end, but the trumpet gives me a lot of hope with the majestic, crystal-clear sound it brings to my ears. ---------------- Chela Robles E-Mail: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxx MSNWindowsLive Messenger: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: jazzytrumpet
