The comparisons with physical locations are not the same because an owner of a property will not let somebody come along and just build a random alternate access point into the building. As far as I am aware, these videos are released in a manner that somebody else can use them. Somebody wants to add captions? They can. Freely.
If adding captions is really so simple, then the deaf institution needs to make the captions on its own. The information, after all, is freely available.
If this is not simple to do, then we should be sympathizing with the organizations that provide the content for free. Clearly the cost will be higher and the amount of available information will be restricted which hurts the larger number of users who can hear.
Maybe we should shut off the internet because there are poor people in the world who are not able to access it in the first place?
