"These works...are typically created under national exceptions to copyright law that are specifically written to benefit persons with disabilities...

The opposition from the United States and other high income countries is due to intense lobbying from a large group of publishers that oppose a 'paradigm shift,' where treaties would protect consumer interests, rather than expand rights for copyright owners."

This is being opposed (while somewhat due to the desire to protect national control over copyright law) largely because of the influence of a group of lobbyists? How pathetic!
