In this trend, people sue businesses because their websites aren’t sufficiently accessible to the disabled — because the websites lack assistive technologies for the blind or hearing-impaired, say.

In Mr. Pulliam's view:

[P]redatory litigation accomplishes nothing but the enrichment of a small number of opportunist lawyers and their clients.
