quote [ Today, the University of California at Berkeley has deleted 20,000 college lectures from its YouTube channel. Berkeley removed the videos because of a lawsuit brought by two students from another university under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
We copied all 20,000 and are making them permanently available for free via LBRY. ]

I don't wanna piss on the deaf, but I have to question the logic that would state that if you went to that school (Berkeley) and were deaf you would most certainly have been accommodated, but because you are enjoying it after the fact, for free, you expect the same. Now, I can understand being rightfully pissed off if I go to watch a lecture and can not hear it. In fact, its that I can not see (and thus understand) these videos that I am frustrated. So, I get exactly where they are coming from.
Only, I am not going to be asshole and sue an institution that has nothing to do with me personally just because I am frustrated. If these people wanted something done about a work in creative commons license they have not only every right to ask, they could easily have been a way to accommodate them because that is exactly the spirit of creative commons.
Should we black out every book in the library if they do not offer a braille version?
