The charitable interpretation might be that I intend to do something about the issue. I'm sorry that I was a bit cryptic when I responded "Actions Will Be Taken." Perhaps that led you to an inference that I am a crusty dinosaur who could care less about those around me. It's not the case.
The problem I face is that I have a fairly vanilla WordPress site and I run a small business. I need to be careful, even if I am with good intentions doing the best I can.
Long ago there was a law firm here in the Los Angeles area (across the street from my old offices, in fact) that made a small fortune pursuing small businesses for ADA infractions (real or otherwise). It was cheaper for these small businesses to pay the Danegeld than fight. Later these lawyers were disbarred.
I have seen similar patterns with other predatory groups of lawyers. The foreclosure crisis of 2009-2010 had them. This is one of the advantages of having existed on the planet for a few decades -- seeing patterns.
People who behave like copyright trolls exist in other areas of life. Our job as humans, here for a transitory moment of the universe, appears to be simple -- be kind and helpful to each other, and stay alive. I am trying to do both.

Is complying with civil rights law a viable alternative?

My initial remark was premised on charitable interpretation and encouragement toward making the site accessible. That seems a dead end.
