In general I'm a supporter of the Americans with Disabilities Act. As much as I support that law, I equally detest abuse of that law--and that's exactly what's going on here:
A deaf man has reportedly filed a lawsuit against a popular adult video website for alleged rights violations because he says it doesn't provide closed captioning on its videos.Yaroslav Suris is suing Pornhub, which hosts millions of adult videos, claiming the site's lack of subtitles violates the rights of deaf and hearing impaired under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)...Suris argues that the deaf and hearing impaired can't understand the audio portions of the videos on the site, thus denying them similar access to the content, according to TMZ.

Yes, ADA is often abused (although, as the sister of an intelligent blind man who has experienced unfair discrimination, I can testify to its necessity). However, I must confess that I do not feel much sympathy towards the porn industry.
