RNIB is supporting a proposed WIPO Treaty for Improved Access for Blind, Visually Impaired and other Reading Disabled Persons. This would allow works made accessible under a copyright exception in one country to be shared with other countries, whilst respecting the rights of the authors and other rights holders.
We've already had support from well known authors including:
-
Jacqueline Wilson
-
Michael Palin
-
Hilary Mantel
-
Frederick Forsyth
-
Lionel Shriver
-
Dirk Robertson
-
Kate Mosse
-
Joanna Trollope
-
Noam Chomsky
-
Tony Hawks
-
Simon Mawer
-
Christopher Simms
-
Sarah Waters
These authors have joined hundreds of authors across the world supporting this treaty.
