    The fact that they’re unable to provide lyrics gives radio stations a free pass on this, under ADA (and most similar laws).

      They can provide lyrics, most have websites, they can print a pamphlet, that’s just excuses to justify crying out against one and not the other.

      What makes them unable to, but Spotify able to?

        Once an organization can no longer claim an accessibility accomodation is an undue burden, then various laws kick in dictating how that accessibility accomodation must be managed.

        As was pointed out, many radio stations do provide captions, and in doing so, fall under the same laws about how they managed those captions.

        Spotify is also a big enough organization that any claim of “undo burden” would probably not hold up in court, anyway.

        While a small local radio station might well be protected, and is a good example of why such exceptions exist.

          What…? The laws applies to everyone, you can’t just claim I can’t afford it. Got a source please?

          As was pointed out, many radio stations do provide captions, and in doing so, fall under the same laws about how they managed those captions.

          Where was this pointed out? Most don’t, and the few that do just link to other places, something Spotify could do to with what you’re claiming. Why do they need to provide the actual words when radios don’t? Another source on this would be great. You’re already saying the laws apply differently, but are the same? You’ve contradicted yourself multiple times already….

          Spotify is also a big enough organization that any claim of “undue burden” would probably not hold up in court, anyway.

          Source that’s a thing.

          While a small local radio station might well be protected, and is a good example of why such exceptions exist.

          So I can just claim I don’t make enough and not need to follow any ADA laws? That doesn’t sound right, even non-profits get riddled with ads claims, so again, source please!

          We all know you’re talking out of your ass, so yeah I don’t expect any actual response, so enjoy your weekend troll!

            Of course they don’t.

            But they’re going to pretend that its on you to disprove the claim.

              I have, it doesn’t say what you’re claiming, so please, provide the links since I can’t find it. Or the more likely answer, it doesn’t exist and now you’re insulting me since I’ve called out your lack of actual education. You can’t just make a claim and not provide a source lmfao, that’s trolling.

              It’s always funny when a phony tries to play big leagues when actual people with education are already available.

        You are technically correct - the best kind of correct! (Futurama quote, meaning I appreciate your correction.)

        It’s probably not an issue for a station that simply doesn’t have that level of captioning, yet.

        But I take your point - it would likely be a violation if they had that captioning and tried to monetize it. (In my substantially professionally trained but still non-expert opinion.)

          So why does that apply to OTA, but not their website or other delivery methods…?

          Your “laws” seem to have lots of exceptions when you need them to. But also, not surprisingly, very easy to find the flaws since they don’t exist and you’re not smart enough to think of these yourself apparently….

            As an actual subject matter expert sharing some perspective, I just want you to know:

            You can go fuck yourself.

              You’re not sharing a perspective when you’re just talking out of your ass and not supporting anything you’ve claimed.
