Oh no, back to court. --Chris LeBeau -----Original Message----- From: Ken Masters <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, Mar 20, 2012 at 6:31 AM Hi All I thought you might be interested in this snippet. SABAM, a Belgian organisation protecting copyright, has decided to charge libraries a copyright fee if they have volunteers who read to children. (Naturally, this will include works by modern authors such as the Brothers Grimm, who recently wrote Grimm's Fairy Tales.) More details at: http://www.demorgen.be/dm/nl/989/Binnenland/article/detail/1407794/2012/03/13/Sabam-wil-geld-voor-voorleesuurtje-in-bibliotheek.dhtml The article is in Dutch, but Google Translate does a fair translation. (Until, of course, they figure out that using Google Translate requires a copy-and-paste, and transfers the data to a publicly-accessible file server, which may be a breach of copyright :-).
