    Does the MS Word output to .pdf support Font Embedding and Image Compression. I work in a lab and support patrons writing Doctoral thesis with 300 MB documents with images and special fonts.

    I've looked at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=953195 as well as the technical details but didn't see anything mentioned.

    Or maybe this is a good cop bad cop move. Everyone already hates the RIAA/labels so no skin off their back for a little extra bad publicity. Apple gets to remove DRM looking like the good cop but oh! the bad cop is increasing prices but marginally. RIAA and apple both profit more with 1.29 price tag.

    I may be missing sarcasm. But Format shifting is not illegal in the U.S. and I beleive the UK is heading in that direction too.

  10. Digital Repositories on Google's Plan For Out-of-Print Books Is Challenged · · Score: 1
    1st Libraries subscribe to databses and online libraries such as ebrary as well. This is nothing to new. It will just be one more vendor providing a service and the nice thing about it will be that it will be just in time delivery.

    2nd. Libraries that are thinking ahead (the one I'm working at tries to keep a 10 year strategic plan in place) are building digital repositories. There's this thing called ILL or inter library loans. It's an archaic form of P2P where libraries share books that the other one doesn't have. The only difference is that the book has to be returned where true P2P a copy is just made.

    The author of the TFA is well aware of this and I believe he is trying to summon any troops not making a digital repository to get into gear.

    If Google tries to go RIAA on books the ALA will go limited Napster on Google. If libraries don't prepare now, then yes they will be at the mercy of Google in the arena of orphan works.
