No-one is saying that anyone should be forced to do anything.

Personally, I caption the hobby videos that I put on YouTube, because doing so brings in far more views, both domestically and from around the world.

This lawsuit is literally about forcing the universities to pay to caption the educational materials they release for free.

The message I commented to was about the idea that suddenly "people" would be forced to caption videos that they had made in their spare time.
