Abstract

This article details the public policy framework that establishes the legal foundation for requiring access to Web-based information resources for people with disabilities. Particular areas of focus include: the application of the fair use doctrine to an understanding of disability access to digital information; the application of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act to Web-based services; and the application of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act to Federal Web-based resources and the extent to which Section 508 may be applicable to states through linkage under the Assistive Technology Act.

Abstract

Examines the legal aspects of the Internet: the solution of technical problems concerning the security of information, nets and resources and the solution of global problems of the Internet as a part of media in a democratic society; and how to secure the basic democratic values on the Internet as a free and non-ideological communication site. Using the examples of some legislative initiatives concerning the Internet, analyzes protection of the right of property, of the right of safety and of the right to freedom of speech. The Internet guarantees the rights and freedom of democratic societies. Provides an analysis of state attempts to control the Internet and problems linked to ethics among free users

Abstract

The proliferation of information in electronic format does not guarantee its accessibility. The fact that many Web sites are not accessible to large segments of the disabled community has created a "digital divide". The accessibility barriers are systemic. In recent years, there has been a growing body of significant laws and standards concerning Web accessibility that impact people with disabilities. Ways of breaking down these barriers to a fuller accessibility implementation do exist, including education to raise awareness of Web accessibility, nationwide policy and guidelines for accessibility, and Web-based applications and tools to facilitate Web accessibility, to name a few.
