Since when are subtitles mandated by law? "Multi-view video"? Maybe I'm just missing something, but I've never heard of any law mandating any of the things you listed above (except maybe from a government-funded project, but I'm not sure either, that just seems more likely to require it).




That's pretty crazy. I understand "reasonable accommodation", but doing that for so much content is beyond. Better most of the population gets it that no one can because a few edge cases can't consume it normally. I understand the need for wheelchair ramps, but this is like saying that every building that doesn't have one must add one or be torn down.
