    FTA:

    Disney is calling for the lawsuit to be dismissed because her husband signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service years prior.

    The company says signing up for the trial requires users to arbitrate all disputes with the company.

    I’m pretty freaking sure that even if the dispute was hypothetically with Disney+ streaming, rather than a theme park/restaraunt… it’s still not enforceable.

    But This? only reason it’s not patently ridiculous is because this is how Disney wins lawsuits: they’ll bring hundreds of bullshit motions to drown the plaintiff in legal fees until they simply go away.

        It’s completely insane, they could have settled for breadcrumbs, but they’ve chosen to make the most comic villain insane ad against subscribing possible. Pay for our content, nvm this line that says we can kill your wife with impunity 10 years down the line… GIVE US MONEY

      They could have easily settled this.

      I’m hoping now they and other scumbag companies get taken to task for how fucking ridiculous their bullshit catch all clauses are.

      Yeah exactly, unless the US judical system is even more fucked up than I believe already, this makes no sense. Nevermind how enforced-arbitration doesn’t work in most of the world, the agreement would be with Disney+ the streaming arm, not Disney park operations.
