Note: The grounds for promulgation of this Act are as follows: As Thailand is to become a party to the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print Disabled, which requires the parties to enact internal laws supporting exceptions to copyright infringement in favour of persons blind, persons visually impaired, and persons print disabled so that they would enjoy equal opportunities to access copyrighted works as other persons, it is appropriate to amend the exceptions to copyright infringement under the Copyright Act, 2537 BE for the sake of disabled persons in line with the said treaty. It is therefore necessary to enact this Act.
