Column on licenses

["Joseph J. Esposito" <espositoj@gmail.com>]

I recently published a column with my partner Mike Shatzkin in 
Publishers Weekly.  The topic is the need for publishers to craft 
end-user licenses with every product they ship, including 
hardcopy books, as a means to make litigation unnecessary.  Here 
is the link:

If that link gets broken, go to http://publishersweekly.com and 
search for the "Soapbox" feature.

I would appreciate hearing online or off from members of the 
library community as to how to improve the position Mike and I 
are taking in this column.  We talk to publishers all the time; 
once in a while they actually listen to us.

Thank you.
