Re:Netflix sued for lack of captions on streaming videos on Friday June 17, 2011 @04:49PM (#2667017)
So, am I allowed to sue Netflix if I can't afford to be a subscriber? What if I only like a genre of movies that isn't available on Netflix? I understand the need to have subtitles and in an ideal world, everything would come with them, but this seems a bit too much.

Most plausible hypothesis

You are correct that Wikipedia isn't like the others, which are giant constructions that took enormous effort. However, Wikipedia is more significant and important today than all of them put together. If we were to lose the other Heritage sites, tourists would miss out and there would be a large monetary impact. Losing Wikipedia would be far more disastrous.

However, there's no point in becoming a world heritage site. It's simply recognition.
