Talkingtapes??

[rychie <nelson@CMSD.K12.CO.US>]

I received a mailing today from the TalkingTapes organization whose
mission is to make audio tapes for use by learning disabled people.
Their brochure listed many donors to their effort, individual as well as
corporate, including IBM.  Volunteer readers record textbooks, fiction
books, etc.  You can purchase them at $4/tape or rent them for the school
year at $2/tape.  That's a bargain but also consider some history books
take 42 tapes--according to their on line catalog.  When I called, I was
assured that it was within the copyright law and I don't suppose IBM
would be involved in something that wasn't.......BUT how does this work?
Does anybody know anything about them??  Their website is
http://www.talkingtapes.org.  I'd appreciate any information.  Thanks a
bunch for your help.
