We really need to adapt British law when it comes to lawsuits. There if you sue someone and lose, you have to pay for the other person's legal fees. That would end all of these frivolous lawsuits.
When the loser has to pay on anything other than a frivolous case, then the law is only for the rich. Product liability law only exists because in 1912 a lawyer took a dead bang loser case against Buick and won.
Warrior - Skibum is right. If you change to the English loser pays system, yes you will get rid of many frivolous lawsuits, but you also get rid of a large amount of non-frivolous lawsuits as well. That's why Alaska is the only state in the U.S. that follows the English Rule.
Canada also has a hybrid rule of loser pays that cuts down on lawsuits. That will NEVER happen here because the legislatures are PACKED with lawyers who benefit, or at least their friends and often families benefit, from lots of often stupid lawsuits.
"In the court documents, Suris listed numerous titles that he watched, such as "Sexy Cop Gets Witness to Talk," but he was completely lost when it came to the dialogue, TMZ said."... Because without the dialogue, you would not be able to understand the scene.
I watched it without sound and I was able to enjoy without sound.
"He also claimed that it's pointless for him or others in a similar situation to purchase a premium subscription to the website without the subtitles, according to FOX 10 of Phoenix."... I agree it is point less to purchase a premium subscription.
What's next, suing strip clubs because the strippers do not know sign language?
Frankly this seems like a pretty clearcut violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, so Pornhub should jump at the chance to settle before the Justice Department piles on.
What I'm waiting for now is the blind guy suing them for not having a fully descriptive audio track. 🙉

There was a Braille version of Playboy. I don't know if they found a way to rendert the centerfolds in Braille.
You say that like it's a bad thing ? :-)
Pornhub could just run a crawl along the bottom of the videos with “Ooooooh”, “Ahhhhhh”, “It’s so big baby!”, “I’m cuming!” - and that would fix it!

Were it that simple! Bottom line, as in most human endeavors, "follow the money".
