There has to be some controversy, issue springing up whenever a product makes a successful launch, same comes attached with the release of Kindle 2. Paul Aiken director Author’s Guild thinks that the ebook readers Text-to-Speech system is an infringement of copyright that makes an audio-book. I just don’t get it, I mean if I go about reading a book to a group of people I am myself violating the laws, if this is what they accuse Kindle 2 of. Paul Aiken doesn’t care about and his own uni-dimensional views, the WSJ voices them:

They don’t have the right to read a book out loud. That’s an audio right, which is derivative under copyright law.
