Way to go David. at least he'll get the word out for as long as

Anything else going on with anyone?

>>Congress Urges Justice Department to Support Settlement

>>Washington, DC (September 10, 2009): The National Federation of
>>the Blind
>>testified before the House Judiciary Committee today that the
>>proposed
>>settlement between Google and authors and publishers regarding
>>the Google
>>Books project should be approved. The Google Books settlement
>>will make
>>millions of titles available to the blind and other Americans
>>with print
>>disabilities, providing more access to the printed word than the
>>blind
>>have had in all of human history.

>>Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the
>>Blind, told
>>the House Judiciary Committee: "The Google settlement is, for the
>>blind and
>>many others, the next step in the democratization of knowledge.
>>That
>>process
>>began with the introduction of the printing press and then, for
>>the blind,
>>with the invention of Braille. Now technology is available that
>>transcends the traditional limitations of both print and Braille,
>>promising
>>to make
>>millions of titles available to the blind in Braille or any other
>>format
>>of our choice. The narrow business interests of Google's
>>competitors must
>>not be allowed to block Americans who cannot read print from all
>>of the
>>opportunities that greater access to written knowledge will make
>>available
>>to them. It is time for the doors of the world's great libraries
>>to be
>>opened and welcome to everyone."

>>The National Federation of the Blind also urged the United States
>>Department of Justice, which is reviewing the terms of the
>>settlement, to
>>support the
>>agreement.

>>"The Google Books settlement is a major step forward in advancing
>>the
>>civil rights of blind Americans and others who cannot read print
>>because it
>>substantially increases our opportunities for education and
>>employment,"
>>President Maurer said. "The Justice Department, which is tasked
>>with
>>protecting the civil rights of all Americans, should respect the
>>agreement
>>of the parties to the settlement and allow its access provisions
>>to be
>>fully implemented. In doing so, the government will send a
>>strong message
>>that
>>it values the participation of the blind in society and believes
>>that we
>>should have access to all of the information to which our sighted
>>friends
>>and
>>colleagues have access."
