I notice from a lot of the comments that there seems to be a certain amount of confusion about making a site accessible and making content accessible.
Yes, shops are required to be accessible (ramps, etc...) but they are not required to make sure that everything they sell is suitable for people with disabilities. A cinema will be accessible, but not all of the films they show will be sub-titled.
In the same way, commercial web sites should be accessible, but surely they can't be forced to try to make everything they sell suitable for those with disabilities.
If films are available with captions, then they should try to make them available with captions - but surely they can't be forced to add captions to films and TV shows that don't already have them. That responsibility should surely be shouldered by the producer of the media.
