authors guild again

**D* G* <d*@gmail.com>**

Here's an interesting take on the author's guild from one of the most
knowledgeable folks in the Net marketing world (Seth Godin)
http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2009/03/beware-of-trade-guilds-maintaining-the-status-quo.html

I note that Amazon has bent to them in a small way - Amazon has said
publishers will be able to decide if the new Kindle can translate their
books to voice.  The feature will be build into the publisher software end.

For me, it's all part of the new model of information-distribution.  I
couldn't agree more with this Seth Godin position.
