Example 1: Change of guiding principles of copyright exceptions and its social impact
Impact of CRPD in Japan:2010 Revision of the Japanese Copyright Law is an achievement of combination of disability community movement of 10 years, support of concerned librarians and internationally enacted CRPD. It allows for libraries to offer eligible users with print disabilities a nation wide downloading distribution services without DRM. Libraries are now responsible to provide print disabled library users with alternative copies in an accessible format without permission of the copyright owners if the owners do not publish their copyrighted works in an accessible format that is required by the user with disabilities.
Next Steps:Triggered by the DAISY multimedia textbooks, students who has mother tongue other than Japanese find the provision of DAISY format textbooks to them which is not allowed in the current Copyright Law. Foreign travelers in Japan increasingly demand understandable emergency information to them.
