I am physically disabled due to a tumor in my spine so I cannot work. Should Netflix pay for my internet service since the cost is a hardship to me so that I can have the ability to watch one of the streaming videos? I am disabled and therefore they should have to accommodate me….but wait a moment…I can RENT the movie so no, they shouldn’t have to pay for internet service.

Today’s society is a bunch of wimps and whiners. We can no longer give kids trophies for excelling in sports in case it hurts the feelings of a kid that is athletic. We can no longer hire the best candidate for a job or position in college because we have to fill a quota. We cannot even supply a product because someone, somewhere will bitch and moan about it not being exactly the way THEY want it then we will get sued and it will cost millions of $$$ for nothing.

This is, perhaps, the core question of public-accommodation. Disable people are – let’s fact the basic, brute fact here – disabled. There are things that they cannot do, or cannot do as easily as non-disabled people. When I create a web-site, why is it my job to consider the abilities or disabilities of unknown visitors?

In the Netflix case, it is considerably worse: Netflix is expected to adapt content provided by others; something that copyright law would surely prohibit (creating derivative works).
