Hathi Orphans

You are right, Anthony. I do not expect *all* publishers to agree
on something. And I do not expect anyone to insist on equating
"some" with "all".

I really do not understand how Mr.Guedon actually expects ALL
publishers to get together to agree something. All authors is
impossible and all librarians would be very difficult.

A large sample is not a unanimous representation. The list
presented by Ms. Lustigman is impressive. It is not the whole
world.

However, where are the German, French and Spanish publishers,
only to stay within Western Europe? Are there only 20 library and
collective rights organisations (and are these two classes of
organizations open to being treated as "publishers"?)

Consequently, I must decline being corrected this time. I
continue to stand partially corrected as tated in my earlier
message.
