Way to go! I was about to complain. Why can't they just make the streaming brower better? Instead of having to modify the movies all over again. Have a professional streamer that could automatically detects voices and others.

It's ironic that you're doing exactly what you're suing Netflix for: Not providing CC/subtitles.
Not everyone understands ASL. so it would be nice if you could provide subtitles so that non-deaf people can understand what's going on as well :)

@GoneInsane i agree with you!!!

same thing with NBC TV show no Captions. What is wrong with NBC?

Sooo, this lawsuit essentially argues that deaf people are lazy bums who refuse to go to the mailbox to pick up a DVD, it seems. The DVD plan that Netflix offers is a completely reasonable alternative to the streaming service. Even if federal law DID cover this(it doesn't), the DVD plan would mean that Netflix is giving the deaf more than enough options to see their movies with captions. More so than streaming, which consists of a very limited amount of the total number of movies available.

subtitles please...

Netflix has claimed 30% captioning since February but had no hard data to back it up. Through Phlixie & my own blog, using data from Netflix's own API, we discovered in February the actual percentage was closer to 10% and only THIS WEEK (4 months later) has their percentage reached 30%. Email me on my youtube account if you want the link to the real numbers.

@EVModules They are not suing for money. They are trying to force Netflix to CC more videos.

@Shadowsniper689 wow did you just say we are lazy? and basically be an idiot. Just cause you can hear and can watch streaming movies or tv shows any time you want and we can't have equal rights to do the same? Also we are paying for netflix why can't we also have same rights to watch movies steaming too. I would have to disagree netflix is not providing reasonable solutions the only reason the DVD have subtitles is because of ADA law not because netflix wants to. thumbs up if you agree with me
