14. A Win Would Set Precident & Generate Incentive For Class Action
Edited on Thu Feb-09-06 11:12 AM by cryingshame
and the concept isn't to make ALL websites accessible. This legal action is aimed at large businesses that fall under certain categories... beginning with one of the worse offenders, Target.

It'd be great to see a political movement to make this binding Law so that individual cases and even class action cases don't need to be brought.

However, these two strategies aren't exclusive of each other.

Further, you forget this point:

Large corporations spend BILLIONS lobbying Congress. They have lobbyists working to keep our lawmakers set AGAINST the passage of legislation that would require websites be accomodating. Especially the Republican Congressional members.For some stupid, idiotic reason, Target/Walmart would rather spend those billions lobbying Congress to keep status quo then spending a few hundred thousand simply modifying their damn websites. It's about power.
