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...) -Julie Packard ------------------------------------- Julia W.

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.
