[Dtb-talk] Copyright challenge

[Greg Kearney]

We often hear that the international exchange of Braille and talking books is illegal under either U.S. or international copyright law. I would like to offer this challenge. I would like to know where in copyright law this prohibition on international exchange is found or citations to relevant case law. 

I am not speaking about what some lawyer thinks the law say but specific legal prohibitions written into the laws. So I ask here for citations of the relevant laws. 

I Suspect that no such provisions exist and that there is in fact no legal prohibition to such an exchange provided the books are provided to legal recipients or organizations.
