As I read through these mail concerning problems with Houghton Mifflin, I
was beginning to feel lucky, since we ourselves had not had any problems.
Until this afternoon, that is. I received a mail from HM stating that we
would not be granted permission to digitize our Pas de Probleme video. The
reason given was that HM does not own all the rights to the material, and
therefore cannot authorize the transfer of the material to other mediums.
I guess everyone's luck runs out sometime!
Has anyone else run into this problem with Pas de Probleme? (Ironic that it
be named so...)

Rachel, et. al.,
This sounds strange, as it's completely the opposite of our experience
with HM and the Nakama series. Last year we requested permission to use
Nakama I & II audio materials for UW password-protected use on the Web,
and they sent us all the CDs gratis. However, we've been using Nakama
since it was piloted a few years ago, when we also did HM some favors.
I've had no trouble with them at all.
