I was amazed to learn that Bookshare.org operates under an exception to copyright law. I thought this was unbelievably amazing. I think there is a place for copyright law, and there are definitely some ongoing issues that remain unresolved in regards to copyright protection and the internet. This time the people in charge got something right. To allow unfettered access for people with disabilities that restrict their access to literature and reading materials is an awesome step in the right direction. Subscribers to bookshare.org are able to download books, textbooks, and newspapers in a format that greatly benefits them. I am in awe of this organization.
