Stevie Wonder always memorizes his music and his song lyrics. And the renowned singer is now asking the international treaty negotiators to promise access to books for blind people worldwide.
Stevie Wonder is promising a concert to reward those who can make the pact happen. Wonder has been blind since shortly after he was born, and had performed music for most of his life.
Today, the world wonder is lobbying hard with more than 600 negotiators from 196 country-states in WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) to provide a "legacy, a gift to future generations."
"So let's finalize a new agreement that opens doors to the world's written treasures and moves towards a future where there are no barriers to the expansion of knowledge and enjoyment of culture," Stevie Wonder's video proclaimed his great dream and was sent to the meeting this week.
"Let's get this signed, sealed, delivered and I'm yours. Do this and I will come to Marrakesh, and we will celebrate together," Stevie Wonder emphatically and proudly used his musical talent to lobby the decision.
The concert is set for Friday at the Palais des Congres. Only the diplomatic conference's participants will be allowed to attend.
This treaty will aid book reformatters to break copyright barriers that stop the published works from getting into the hands of blind and visually impaired people.
The new Marrakesh Treaty emphasizes in its participants to adopt laws that would allow the reproduction and distribution of published works in formats such as Braille, large-print text, and audio books.
