UN SDG 4

"Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities FOR ALL [including blind, visually impaired and print disabled persons]”.
@UN @WIPO @copyrightngr

[ReCreate South Africa @SaRecreate]

To get excited about limitations & exceptions to copyright, we need to remember they are ENABLING provisions for educators, libraries, creators to do the things they do.

L&Es return us to the FREEDOM we had before we introduced exclusive copyright.
