The RIAA is in quite a bit of hot water right now because of its legal tactics over the last few years. Namely, sue first, intimidate second, ask questions later. They sued a 60-year-old woman who didn't even know how to download music because they claimed someone from her house was downloading mu

Kevin, the point is this. Why should you, after obtaining the NLS books, have to go and get one of the NLS approved players just to enjoy the privelege of being able to listen to the book while not at the computer? That would be like Soni putting out an album with copy protection that limitted what

You touched on the problem right there. Every single thing you download from BARD is copy protected. Meaning, if you can't aford to purchase one of their select authorized players, or if you can't get the government to pay for one for you, yet you still want to actually be able to use what you lega
