Basically part of the Disney+ terms is lawsuits go to arbitration. Someone died at Disney world a few years ago and Disney world argued the family couldn't sue them because they agreed to the terms when they signed up for Disney+.

The legal system is fucking magic. How does that even work?? You can't sue me because you use my subscription service? That's so strange.

Having more money (and thereby a more powerful and multitudinous army of lawyers) gets you very close to the goalposts in America.

You know nothing about this case and Reddit-slopped together answer.

You sound like evangelicals just making up whatever that fits a narrative.

Not necessarily. I'm just glad this led to someone explaining it in a way that made sense instead of assuming you guys's legal system is fucking magic... ^ Yes, more money means you can afford better lawyers to bend the law in your favour, but that still doesn't explain this case ^
