    Providing a substantially inferior outcome to someone with an ADA need absolutely violates ADA rules.

    When stuff like this has gone to court it hasn’t been pretty for the offending organization.

    There’s a bigger question about how much of what Spotify currently provides falls under ADA. Web services used to get a free pass. They largely don’t anymore.

    Source: some of this stuff is my problem, professionally. And no, I’m not going to look up a primary source for anyone. That’s Spotify’s lawyers job.

      So no, just talking out of your ass then.

      You can Google the lyrics to songs on any device you can view them on Spotify.

        If you could google the subtitles to any film or tv show, should that absolve Netflix of the responsibility to provide them?

          Do lyrics fall under the same regulation as subtitles? If Netflix were free, would it still be subject to those requirements?

            Perhaps they should. Let’s join hands, friend. I believe we can change things for the better.

                You obviously don’t give a shit, dude, I don’t know why it matters to you so much that people want their lyrics back. Do you own stock in Spotify or something?
