Descriptions of *some* content over *some* transmission mediums is indeed required, as I understand it. I think the question is about where the source material comes from. For instance, some argue that the Movie Vault on www.blindmicemegamall.com is illegal because it offers downloads of audio-only described movies and TV shows. Others argue that www.blindy.tv is illegal because it re-transmits, though does not let you download, described content and no one knows where that comes from.
This website does seem quite vague, i must admit. Is their material sourced from movie and TV producers? Obtained legally some other way? illegal? What exactly are their service plans? What do they offer for content? Pricing? Availability? I'm intrigued, but it would be good to have a lot more information first. -- Have a great day, Alex mehg...@gmail.com On Feb 2, 2014, at 5:36 PM, Fred Olver <goodfo...@charter.net> wrote: > I'm not sure what you mean by legal issues.
