Hello Ibrahim,

Naively, I hope the studios would sort the access problem before they stamp on 
the people resorting to illicit work-arounds...but of course, they won't, will 
they? (as the Dead Ringer of Alan Bennett used to say).

Best,
Clive

Hi

The trouble with these services like the blind mice megamart is that none of 
the content is legally licensed for distribution by the studios. They are 
essentially taking audio described content and distributing it for free without 
paying any royalties to the company to produce it or the studio to make the 
films. It is understandable that  they provide this service in the neantime but 
in the long term it's not sustainable and we do need good quality commercially 
supported alternatives. As I say, talking flicks and the RNIB are 
developing/working on trials to bring A.D. to commercial services like Netflix 
and LOVEFiLM.
