    The mouse should realize that sometimes it's better to pay people instead of shit like this.

    Being this hellbent on winning a case is hurting the IP more than the couple dozen millions they have to shell out to pay the victim's family.

      Agreed. if there's gonna be a challenge to the legality of arbitration agreements this is a strong place to start from, which makes me wonder "is Disney stupid or do they know something about their chances that i don't?"

      Like...What if they cared less about winning the case and more about making the legality of such agreements more concrete?

    I'm going to take a less cynical stance and say I'm looking forward to this. They didn't file in Texas, so they won't get that prized 5th Circuit rubber stamp big businesses desire, so the legal slap in their face will be glorious.

      Seems like a bizzarely obvious mistake for the mouse to make, have they fired the last of the people who made good business decisions?

    It’s worse. Her husband, who is filing the suit on behalf of her estate, once signed up for the free trial. It wasn’t even her who agreed to it.
