This is one of the things I like about being from Australia. This kind of thing would be handled by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). With the ACCC the company would just be fined rather than it go to a settlement in a private lawsuit like this where the stigma of money chasers can be attached. |

Thanks for the link, for decades I believed that she had been driving with a hot cup of coffee between her legs, instead of what actually happened. |

I think this is a good thing to do considering how many bugs and problems the Funimation site has. Hope Angeles is able to buy what they wanted to before.
That's correct. I read the full article a couple of years ago and more lawsuits McDonald's had related to their coffee. It's pretty sad when you find out what was burnt and the company too greedy to simply pay for these poor people's medical bills. Not to mention, the degrees of just how hot the coffee was. |

I was actually just going to comment on this exact case! There's actually a pretty decent documentary, aptly named Hot Coffee, that details the extensive lengths that McDonald's and other huge corporations went to in order to give lawsuits against corporate entities bad PR. It's super enlightening how deliberate it was that this framing of "lawsuits are frivolous" has burrowed into the American mindset. Anyway, good for her. Wonder what's the timeline that Funi has been given to change their website -- hopefully they'll completely redesign it at this point because that website is broken on so many levels, even putting aside ADA requirements. |

Good for Angeles, regardless of motive. If large-scale companies can’t be bothered to follow legal requirements when setting up their websites, that’s on them.

Next, the ability to watch the English audio with the translated subtitle stream on Blu-rays please, if you can't be bothered to create a separate HOH subtitle track for the purpose.
Funimation used to do that on their DVDs some 20 years ago, English and Japanese audio with subs, dubs and signs. But now with the licensor stipulated locks on BD discs, hard of hearing dub fans are left out. |

Oh man, I'm not even hard of hearing, and I'm super annoyed whenever that option's not available. |

This. This is the reason I stopped buying funimation releases. I mean, they already have caption on their stream, is it really that hard to add them to the BD as a secondary option especially if they are gonna lock the subtitles to one track? I like dubs, but it isn't my fault I was born hard of hearing... |
