UN peace messenger Stevie Wonder calls for copyright steps for the blind
-
“We must declare a state of emergency, and end the information deprivation that continues to keep the visually impaired in the dark. We must spread the word that the untapped genius of the 300 plus million who have a visual disability are in need of our love and action; today, not tomorrow, but today,” the award-winning United States singer and songwriter said.
“While I know that it is critical not to act to the detriment of the authors who labour to create the great works that enlighten and nourish our minds, hearts and souls, we must develop a protocol that allows the easy import and export of copyright materials so that people with print disabilities can join the mainstream of the literate world,” he said.
“There are many proposals on the table that will create a safe clearing house for the exchange and translation of books, please work towards a consensus,” he added.

For the immediate shortfall, state leaders will decide what goes and what is saved in upcoming legislative Emergency Board meetings and possibly a special legislative session. Agencies will be making the proposed reductions at various times over the coming months, and the Legislature will make final budget adjustments in its regular session in January.
