Hi Bryan and all, Unfortunately, big corperations and even some smaller corperations don't see it exactly the same way. If it wasn't for laws like Section 508 software accessibility would still be worse than it is today. Do to Section 508 a lot more companies are considering accessibility more than they use to, but Section 508 doesn't apply to some applications like games, software produced before Section 508, and there are probably a lot of other loop holes to use. When it comes to game copyrights it is true it is very tough not to step on some companies toes because a lot of us just want to create a game we already know or wish we could play but can't. Unfortunately, it is a huge question of how the law would decide accessibility vs copyright infringement.
