Subject: [VICUG-L] enforcing Web accessibility

Can anyone tell me if private companies/Web sites are legally required to be
accessible?  I'm coming across more and more sites lately that once were
accessible but aren't anymore due to changes recently made to them.  Do I
have a right to threaten these companies with legal action if they don't
make their sites accessible?  I'm assuming so, as Target, Southwest
Airlines, and so many others have been forced to make their sites
accessible.

Any guidance on how I might proceed would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Rachel
