Blind advocates: Hollywood lobbying threatens deal for accessible books
http://j.mp/11q2lII (ars technica)
"For the last several years, negotiators at the World Intellectual
Property Organization have been working on a copyright treaty that
would make it easier for blind people to get accessible versions of
books, like well-annotated audio books or large-print editions. But
aggressive lobbying by the Motion Picture Association of America
(MPAA), the Association of American Publishers (AAP), and other US
copyright interests threatens to derail the negotiations, according to
several advocates for the blind who spoke to Ars."
