I think that would be an excellent case to make.  But given the NFB's
pention for convenient contradictions (e.g., the response regardin the
Robertson ruling on U.S currency) I don't think they would go after it.

Subject: Re: Accessibility of Itunes

I see the biggest issue here in not being able to access the iTunes  
Music Store. Once you have a file there are a number of ways to play  
it such as with FrontRow which is accessible. The fact that the  
iTunes Music Store is not accessible is a ADA legal concern and I am  
somewhat shocked that Apple legal department hasn't taken notice of  
that fact. Would Apple ever build an inaccessible physical store?

If I were Apple I would be watching the NFB vs. Target Stores case  
very closely because if the courts rule that online stores must meet  
the same ADA requirements as physical ones iTunes would make a really  
big target to go after.

I think the case can be made that it matters not if your business is  
on line or in the physical world, it must be accessible.
