Yeah, it's not like MIT and Harvard have spare money lying around to spend on captioning (apart from the $13.5B and $37.5B, respectively, in their endowments). Let Big Deaf use their deep pockets to pay for captioning, if that's what they want!
- x3n0ph3n3 10y agoThat's such an absurd argument. "They have so much money, so let's MAKE them spend it on ME." MIT and Harvard had nothing to gain from releasing their lectures online for free, and plenty to lose by continuing to do so. When you stare a gift horse in the mouth, expect to be kicked in the face.
