Hello everybody As somebody who is not visually impaired, looking in, so to speak, I have one major problem with these services. Why, I'd like to know, should it be that those of you who happen to have the misfortune to be visually impaired, should be forced to pay yet again for a facility of websites etc. to which the rest of us have free access? This really does leave a very bad taste in my mouth, so to speak, (again). Visually impaired people often seem to get a very roar deal and it's high time that these websites were regulated so that accessibility for all was enforced, not just set out as a guide line.
It's wrong, I believe, that blind and visually impaired people should be blocked in this way, if they don't happen to have either some means of cracking these screen shots or a visually abled person to hand. Sorry for the rant; but I honestly believe this kind of prejudicial practice, not to mention those seeking to profit from it, should be banned. I understand that developers need to recoup their costs and that website owners need to protect themselves against malicious threats. But the practice of denying access without a lot of hassle to those who are already very much disadvantaged should be outlawed.
