It looks like mostly what they did was add a prominent copyright
notice. The file you get is still completely open .brf files. Still no
DRM or anything - copy the file from your PC to your BN to your
Kurzweil 1000 installation and back again. I think mostly what they're
doing is covering themselves in the same way a software license
agreement does; if you don't read it, it's not their fault, because it
was very prominent and not hidden somewhere. Besides any prominent
illegal sharing of files - even ones converted to text first - would
be pretty easy to find.

Hi all,
No, Kathleen, Web Braille is alive and well. It was off-line for
about three weeks last spring, but there was such an outcry, such a
hullabaloo, with individuals and the ACB writing frantic letters to
Frank Curt Sylke, that they restored it faster than they had
intended.
The problem was security. They instituted new features so that they
can be sure that people will download the books and that they , the
books, will remain secure and not be copied to unauthorized people.
Happy Reading,
Ann P.
