Hi everyone,
WIPO is currently negotiating a treaty to introduce a new
limitation/exception to copyright. The German ministry of justice is
keeping us posted with the current wording of the (still not
finalized) treaty.
Wikimedia Deutschland has not been participating in any efforts on
this matter. We indicated to the ministry early on that we believe
every person should be allowed to transform a published work to make
it fit his or her current needs and that such copyright
limitation/exception should not be restricted to visually impaired
persons.

Isn't it a "everything or nothing" approach? Don't get me wrong : sure
I would like to see a world where everybody can have all means to access
culture. In fact, on this regard I completely agree with what Russell
write in "In Praise of Idleness"[1].
Now, I wouldn't drop an ease of access for visually impaired persons
just because I would like more for everybody.
