> Netflix has zero regards for the deaf overseas, in the US it's pretty good though. Sure, because the National Association for the Deaf sued them to get them to do it. [0] It's an important case for online businesses because the judge concluded that the ADA applies to them, too (which is sort of on obvious conclusion but it hadn't be tested in court). Captions already existed for the large majority of TV shows and movies Netflix was licensing, they just needed to get them from the studios though may have needed to be recreated if they weren't saved in text form, DVD and Blu-ray captions are stored as images on the discs. Of course for their original programming they would need to have them created, for a ballpark figure of $2/minute of content. Outside the U.S., I assume it depends on what captions already exist and what local laws require.
