Thanks Jorgen for a link to a story at the geek.com that expands on the debate about the text-to-speech function that we mentioned in yesterday’s post about Apple iPad features.
Apparently some authors and publishers are making the case that such an auditory expression of eBooks can be considered as “derivative work” and should entitle them to royalties.
I think it’s a stretch. Wouldn’t that only apply if you recorded the text-to-speech version and tried to sell it?
