I am overdue to respond this, but there’s another way to get them to address this is to buy one share of their stock so you have a right to attend all stockholders’ meetings and you can voice, too! It costs $59.44 to buy one share.

Amy,

Wow!! you showed me a circle of words ” Streaming” I could not believe!
I mailed you and it will be arriving your house tomorrow or Thursday. I read this your blog. I finally understood better. Netflix know better how many deaf community lives on Earth. The Deaf baby booms are now over a millions since 1940’s.

You have lot of empowered about A.D.A to against Netflix!

I think we are using our time wisely on this. It is important to practice our rights and equal as we are part of this society. It seemed to be a uphill battle, but I know we can do it. Cnet, Hulu, Youtube, Google, and some other websites already have some captions, so why not the Netflix. The more we fight for caption on website, the more access we get in information for our knowledge, learning, and even entertainment. After we get Netflix put more than few movies captioned, then I would love to see for us to go after CNN, ESPN, other news that have videos on their websites. HR 3101 is a good start, but do not rest on the rocking chair.

Amy,

Why we waste our time with the Netflix?

I unsubscribe the service pretty long time ago.

Amy,

Go ahead with the full-scale public campaign to put the Netflix in the hall of shame and make it pay dearly for snubbing the deaf and HOH community.

White Ghost was absolutely right why we don’t have any legal teeth with the online video streamings, etc.

White Ghost,

I did write the blog entry pretty long time ago about what we should do about the 3-D film at theatre if we, deaf people could not possibly enjoy the 3-D films.

Y had good question about the big Q’s about the captioning of 3-D television programs and movies.

The 3-D TV will come real sooner than we anticipate.

Everyone,

The only way to really solve this problem is to go to legislative level. This means writing or e-mailing your state Representatives right now because HR 3101 is the internet captioning access bill that ADA doesn’t cover and will be on the House floor soon. The passage of HR 3101 will force every internet source to provide captioning of video content on the internet. That includes Netflix. I urge all you readers to do so.

Wow….HR 3101 is such complicated source that I could not understand.

How about the 3-D movie along with the captions on TV? Whew. I think it’s gonna be hard to visualize the whole picture. I also think it’s going to be a tough task.

Must be interesting, though.

Twiddling our thumbs isn’t going to solve the problem, girl.

HI White Ghost,

There is nothing in our ADA laws allow online captions. That’s why there is a huge push of HR 3101 to make this happen. ADA is so behind with today’s technology. Netflix is not legally required to provide captions, and they are willing to work on it… as they said two years ago… twiddling my thumbs…

Take down Through Deaf Eyes or make all online movies with sounds removed!
