The Right of Persons with Disabilities to Have Access to Literary Works without Infringing Copyright

Abstract

Copyright is an often-ignored component within civil society, especially amid the use of social networks and the rapid transfer of data, information, images and music. However, society constantly benefits from scientific, literary, and artistic works, experiencing a more harmonious development through them. Due to the importance and significant impact that such creations have on our lives, we must pay special attention to the protection of the copyright that accompanies them. Not infrequently, we have been confronted in our daily lives with the desire and the need to bring scientific, literary, artistic, and even musical works closer to people with disabilities. Such an openness requires a certain form of manifestation of the work in order to be perceived by people with disabilities. We refer here, by way of example, to the written scientific work, inaccessible to blind people, and the need to transmit such a work to the blind by means of the Braille alphabet.
