Thanks for the head’s up.

I just found out the other day how to search for captioned ones by changing the “type” on the screen after doing the search to closed captions. Thanks for searching this out for us! It would be wonderful if they all were–I get lots of emails with links to YouTube vidoes, and most of those are not captioned.

It would be wonderful if this bill could get passed, but it’s about a year old now, and I have to wonder how long it might take.

Petitions alone do not do the job. We need people to email and write to their Congressperson. That plus make noise about it!

Thanks!

Progress is slow, but we’re getting there! Thanks for writing about this and the lawsuit brought against Target. I wonder how this will impact future video advertising on the net?
