(1) Persons with a visual impairment or reading disability may reproduce, for their personal use, published literary works which are available in text or audio format as well as graphic recordings of musical works, or may have them reproduced, in order that they may be converted into an accessible format. This authorisation also encompasses illustrations of all kinds which are contained within literary or musical works. Copies may only be produced of works to which persons with a visual impairment or reading disability have lawful access.
(2) For the purposes of this Act, ʻpersons with a visual impairment or reading disabilityʼ means persons who are unable, as a result of a physical or mental impairment or perceptual disability, to read literary works, even with the assistance of a visual aid, to substantially the same degree as persons without such an impairment or disability.
