In response, Berkeley is planning to release new and compliant content. Their official statement[1]:
"[W]e have determined that instead of focusing on legacy content that is 3-10 years old, much of which sees very limited use, we will work to create new public content that includes accessible features ... This move will also partially address recent findings by the Department of Justice which suggests that the YouTube and iTunesU content meet higher accessibility standards as a condition of remaining publicly available. Finally, moving our content behind authentication allows us to better protect instructor intellectual property from “pirates” who have reused content for personal profit without consent.
... Berkeley will maintain its commitment to sharing content to the public through our partnership with EdX (edx.org)."
They also released FAQ regarding the old content.[2]

- zeveb 10y ago> instead of focusing on legacy content that is 3-10 years old Plato's Republic is almost 24 centuries old. De Re Metallica is almost 500 years old. I imagine that lectures just a few years old are not worthless. A university should not be in the business of taking down knowledge, and the Department of Justice should be ashamed of itself.
- TillE 10y agoHave you read Plato's Republic? It's awful. A modern reader will discern nothing resembling logical argument, just an endless stream of fallacy.
- Turing_Machine 10y agoMaybe the problem lies with the "modern" reader.
