No rights have been broken if there is no federal law mandating the right of passengers to be entertained on an airplane.
No, it is not all in my head. It is YOU. I think you should re-read your post above. THINK again!!!!

Q: Do you caption in-flight movies and videos?
A: The process for captioning in-flight movie and videos is exactly the same as what we do, so we have the capability to caption for the airlines. The safety information videos on all flights are subtitled, but the entertainment portion seems to be optional. However, there is an interest to initiate a movement to require all videos shown on board be captioned. If a customer pays a fare, part of that fare goes to pay for the movie and entertainment, so the video should be accessible to everyone. Visit The World Airline Entertainment Association for more information

KDHawaii777,
Would you please answer this question:
What should airlines do for the blind passengers? Doesn't it appall you that airlines don't provide a separate audio track with commentary on the positions of the actors and a description of the action on the screen?

Next you guys will be insisting that the music in elevators demands subtitling since building owners are "required" to provide entertainment.
