I haven't read all of the notes here - but is the argument that a person requiring a braille or audio version of a, say, english printed or ebook version of something is not allowed to do so because they would be breaking copyright law?

What if a book is only published in german & I want to read it but only can read english? Do I break a copyright rule if I run it thru a translator of some sort?

I think, although it is very unfortunate that those unable to read a printed book have a limited selection from which to choose, basically it is up to the rights owner to decide if they want to make their work available to those individuals. Just as it would be their right to decide to publish only in certain languages. Those of us who require other languages just won't be able to read it is all. Less profit for them...?
