Title: Discrimination, copyright, and equality
Description: "Laws and institutions recognised that persons with print disabilities could not read standard books printed on paper. This gave rise to an exemption in copyright laws that is analysed in chapter 5 of this monograph. Predominantly, charities that assist the blind have utilised these exemptions to provide persons with print disabilities a library of books in alternative or accessible formats. Charities, such as the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, the Royal National Institute of Blind People, and Vision Australia, have impressive catalogues of books in Braille, large print and audio cassette. Most of these works have been created by volunteers reading books onto tape, as well as scanning, editing and printing books into alternative formats"--
