More cases are in the pipeline around the world, and the numbers seem likely to grow rapidly as precedents are set.

Also, do you want users to be able to Print content, this gets it seen and free advertising.
Well who's paying for all that black ink!!!
OK! print out colours could be changed but will users bother doing this.
If you don't want users to Print use soon Java Script to stop them. |
I had never heard about this. Reading it just pisses me off. A blind person not being able to access information, in my book, does not justify $20,000 in damages. If he had been hit by a bus, incurred medical expenses, and lost time at work, then that would justify $20,000 in damages.
