accessibility issues and writing new legislation. the Us government does

I can see many problems with what you suggest. First, a Pro Game company

Hi Josh,
We could get in to the entire theory why a government must exist, it's
purpose, and so on but I won't. I will simply say without government,
rules, and a court to enforce them what you end up with is total anarchy
and no one to protect the rights of anyone.
Besides as far as copyrights
In response to what Aaron says. But, then the law has to be changed so we
can make accessible versions of games without getting in trouble.
Just like its ok to make books in an accessible format, it should be ok to
reproduce games in a specialised format for the blind.
Josh
then maybe we as the blind people should get involved and make changes to
the laws.

Hi Bryan,
Copyright infringement isn't a major crime. So no worries about prison.
However, it could result in paying of fines, comunity service, or

Most cases of that sourt would likely wind up in civil cort rather than
