Okay, basically the Internet would totally suck if every site conformed to Bobby standards (for those of you not familiar, do your own research). Bottom line: Bobby sucks. Their own sites don't conform to their standards. Test it out if you don't believe me. My opinion is that the solution to this problem is for handicap devices to conform to web trends, not vice-versa and for everyone to just shut up and accept it. As a programmer and web developer, I can say the criteria those groups advocate are totally unrealistic. No stylesheets, no Flash, all black text on white backgrounds and over 14 point and every image has an alt tag... the list goes on and on. I had to take a class in school on the subject and it was the biggest waste of a graduate-level class at Purdue.
That said, The theater could easily avoid all this and the copyright issue by simply granting permission to the guy. He's just some stupid liberal activist and he'll go away when he loses the attention. Besides, how much harm can he do once he gets them on his side?
