[07:02] Especially if the materials are purchased with government taxpayer funds. [07:11] Raccoon: lawsuit against whom? I think the publishers would say "sure, sue the schools; we'll offer them a fancy license for 100 G$" [07:13] I mean sue the publishers for making their materials inaccessable. The same way everyone is getting sued for making their websites inaccessable. ADA lawsuits in the digital sphere are pretty big right nwo. [07:15] Making your works non-digitally accessable is less an issue of neglect and more an issue of wanton discrimination.
