9th Circuit Court rules Netflix isn’t subject to disability law

21. Since you "do" Section 508

I'm kind of surprised that you claimed that Section 508 is part of the ADA.

Regardless, I've not argued that private sector websites don't have to be accessible - they do. However, making the website accessible is far different than making the items purchased from the website accessible.

Let's form an analogy between website accessibility and physical accessibility.

Target must provide curb cuts, handicapped parking spaces, and aisles wide enough for wheelchairs in order to provide accessibility for physically disabled shoppers. However, there is no requirement that everything they sell in the store must be usable by the physically disabled. If that were the case, they wouldn't be able to sell bicycles, hula hoops and Slip n Slides. The ADA requires that they make their store (and their website) accessible to the disabled, but it does not require that they limit their inventory to only those items usable by the disabled.

By the same token, Netflix is required under the ADA (not Section 508) to make their website accessible to the disabled, but there is no requirement that everything they sell/rent must be usable by the disabled.
