Blind Canadians Concerned With Copyright Legislation
Even the blind see that copyright reform is no good
Blind people in Canada don’t like the idea of Jim Prentice’s copyright bill.
The Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians, an organisation which serves to “increase awareness of rights and responsibilities, so blind, deaf-blind and partially sighted individuals can have equal access to the benefits and opportunities of society,” has issued a letter to the Industry Minister outlining their concerns about the copyright bill.
“For years, Canadians who are blind, deaf-blind and partially sighted have been seeking greater and not reduced access to print information, whether it be on websites or in print documents. We do, therefore, view with grave concern any move that might further restrict opportunities for providing copies of works in the individual’s preferred format.”
It’s entirely legitimate that they be worried.
