We have digitized quite a few of the audio tapes that accompany 
texts used by our foreign language departments.  I have had very 
little trouble getting permission from U.S. publishers, and a lot of 
them even have a website with a form you can use, but we had to 
pay a $500 royalty to a Chinese publisher for the right to digitize 
audio material.  All of the digitized material has to be password 
protected and removed after the text is no longer being used.

Regards, 
Sue

Dear friends,

To date, the language laboratory at UVA only allows access to the
audio materials accompanying foreign language textbooks on site in 
the
Lab.  This is largely due to copyright and licensing agreements we
have with publishers.  We would like to make some of these materials
over the Web. We are wondering what your experiences have been 
with
this and what types of agreements you have made with publishers.

Thanks.

Rachel Saury
