kjcdudeYes, the Americans with Disabilities Act ADA and various state antidiscrimination laws would be used to require web sites, especially sites of businesses, to be accessible to people who are blind and who have other disabilities. This is a growing area of disability civil rights law as the internet has become a much more integral part of American life than it was say in 1990 or before when the original ADA was crafted and adopted.I would suggest that you read<a class="user" href="http://blindaccessjournal.com">http://blindaccessjournal.com</a>to get an idea of the kinds of accessibility issues that we have.

This is about as retarded as a blind guy suing Ford because his car isn't built for a blind driver. Come on, it just seems that several people who aren't fit for normal society decided to rip off a company because they just want money so they can plop on their ars for the rest of their life. That's really pathetic, and I wish those people could see my middle finger I'm giving them..
