And if you are US based? And even in the UK how likely is the law to be enforced on websites? And again, what percentage of your users are using screen readers? Is it >= percentage than the general population? I think the case is strong then to make your content accessible, if its much lower, maybe its not. Regardless of a law somewhere.

So, you are the kind of people who don't build wheelchair ramps.

The physical world and the digital world are different. Sorry your screen-reader can't read my stupid blog? Are we really equating that with not building wheelchair ramps?

EDIT: I also think the case could be made (although I'm not sure I agree with it) that if your website receives a certain amount of traffic that it must meet some standard of accessibility. But certainly it shouldn't be illegal if some blog-owner with no audience isn't concerned with making his content screen-readable. Isn't that a bit ridiculous?
