매체이용자로서의 시각장애인을 위한 화면해설서비스의 법제도적 현실과 개선점

초록

By scrutinizing the legal provisions pertinent to descriptive videoservice, though they seem to be out of harmony, the right of access tocopyright works is determined as one of social right vested byconstitution. While the descriptive video service is provided for inLibrary Act, Mass- communication Act and laws related with disabledpeople, it might constitute a violation against Copyright Act. CopyrightAct provides that copyright works should be rendered accessible forauditorily disabled people whereas it mandates only literary worksbecome accessible for visually impaired people. It is unreasonablediscrimination. The revision bills intended to improve descriptivevideo service have been made most often in Library Act and least inCopyright Act. The revised Mass- communication Act and Library Actare deemed to enhance the access of visually disabled people toinformation. But the revision bills in the other related laws andregulations have been relinquished or remained in inchoate stage. Itseems to take long time for visually disabled people to enjoy wholeaccess to information.
