Thank you! I thought it was me being daft - from what I understand from Deaf friends and colleagues, the 'demand' was for the streaming videos to show captions that already existed on the DVD themselves, that the complaint was why should they have to order the same video by mail that hearing persons could watch streaming online. This would be a matter of equality between streaming services and mail services.

If it's about captioning videos that weren't already captioned, that's a separate issue. This would be a Deaf/hearing equality issue.
