Disability means a difference to normal abilities due to body dysfunctions or restrictions that an individual faces in his or her everyday life. A number of issues must be addressed. The progress in technology and medicine has reduced many of the struggles which people with disabilities face, but unfortunately they do not work wonders! Therefore, some obstacles are still existent, which diminish the disabled person’s quality of life. Copyright law should take into consideration all those obstacles as well as the positive measures mentioned above, in order to provide disabled people the access to information, education, literary works etc. Indeed, many legislatures around the world have already adopted related laws. Moreover, the Marrakesh Treaty, which was adopted on June 27, 2013, is a milestone in copyright law as it is to facilitate access to published works for people who are blind, visually impaired or otherwise print disabled. This paper aims to examine disability in copyright law as well as those limitations and exceptions to it which have been introduced for the benefit of the disabled.
