I wish we had some kind of jury system for these cases. Like, a panel of say five blind users who are all trained and skilled at using there screen reading technology. They could throw out the stupid cases right there, that are just automated nonsense from law firms, and let the cases that are real problems continue.

As more and more commerce is done online, it is becoming more important that websites to access services be accessible as well. I know of two businesses that don't have phone numbers at all, all their interactions are only on the internet. Smaller businesses are getting stuck with the burden of having to pay to get their websites fixed up, but that is a reason to make the website accessible in the first place.
It is unfortunate that people are only doing this to try to get money rather than fixing the issue (or giving them the time to fix the issue).

I am sighted and non accessible websites do not affect me. But I work at an agency for the blind, and my boss is blind. She frequently asks me what is on the screen because it is not accessible.
For her and others like her I want websites to be more accessible.
