17 U.S.C. § 121A — Limitations on exclusive rights: reproduction for blind or other people with disabilities in Marrakesh Treaty countries

(a) Exporting accessible copies. Normally, exporting copies of a published book or piece of music without permission could infringe copyright (under sections 106 and 602). But this section says it's not infringement for an "authorized entity" to export accessible-format copies of a previously published literary work or piece of sheet music to another country, as long as the export goes to: an authorized entity in a country that has joined the Marrakesh Treaty, or an eligible person in a Marrakesh Treaty country — but only if, before exporting, the entity didn't know and had no reasonable grounds to know the copies would end up being used by anyone other than eligible people. (b) Importing accessible copies. It's also not infringement for an authorized entity, an eligible person, or someone acting for an eligible person, to import accessible-format copies of that kind of previously published work. (c) Practices authorized entities must follow. When exporting or importing under (a) or (b), an authorized entity must set up and follow its own practices — suited to its situation — to: confirm the people it serves are actually eligible persons; make sure only eligible persons and other authorized entities receive the accessible copies it distributes; discourage people from making or spreading unauthorized copies; take reasonable care in handling copies and keep records of that handling, while still respecting eligible persons' privacy the same as anyone else's; and help other countries exchange accessible copies by publicly listing which works it has accessible copies of (and in what formats), along with information about its policies, practices, and partner organizations for this kind of cross-border exchange. (d) What this section doesn't create. Nothing in this section creates a new right to sue under copyright law, or gives any federal agency a new basis to regulate this activity. (e) What this section doesn't limit. Nothing in this section restricts anyone's ability to do anything else that copyright law already allows. (f) Definitions. The terms "accessible format," "authorized entity," and "eligible person" mean the same things they mean in section 121. "Marrakesh Treaty" means the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works by Visually Impaired Persons and Persons with Print Disabilities, signed in Marrakesh, Morocco, on June 28, 2013.
