Odeon Orders Takedown Of Copycat Site

Posted by timothy on from the you-will-take-your-chances-in-the-tournament dept.

Tuxedo Jack writes "The Register reports that Odeon Cinemas, a British theater chain, has ordered a takedown of a copycat version of its site that was made by a disability activist. The original didn't work outside of IE on Windows and was in violation of the Disability Discrimination Act; the activist-recoded one worked on everything. Odeon has flip-flopped on the issue, too; they liked it when it was first up, and now they don't."

    I agree with you in priciple (I dont like the ADA laws for a lot of reasons) but this is realy no different than any public place of business the movie theater has to accomidate wheel chairs and hearing impared audio feeds they are just asking the web sites to do the same thing. They are operating a place of business and thus need to make it accessable.
