It’s not even if you watch something. Even if you get Disney+ in a combo package and you don’t even watch one thing, arbitration. Crooked corpo

Dear valued customer,

in order to ensure a continuing enjoyable experience for all our customers, a death squad had been dispatched to your house. Please direct all complaints to the arbitration department.

Kind regards, Disney Corporation

I dont know, I’ve watched all of Mando and I don’t have Disney+ or a wife, and will never have either. i prefer living in the double sin or torrenting and having a parter I’m not married to

Maybe Pedro will come kick my ass but I’m okay with that.

So this works for any corporation? If you are a member/subscriber/user the corp can fuck up your shit and then use an unrelated legal clause from a different contract to prevent legal ramifications?

Did Disney see Cyberpunk and think that corporate dystopia is the right fit for their business? Is Disney suggesting that it’s okay for Netflix to shoot password sharers but not the people using the service without subscription? Does using an iPhone give up my life to Apple? This shit was literally a joke 10 years ago and now Disney is trying to pull this shit in real life. Unbelievable.

This is a great case for the DOJ to look at Disney the way they did Google just now, and evaluate whether Disney should be broken up. I have no confidence that that will actually happen.

While they didn’t actively decide, it is their end goal. It’s just the natural outcome of capitalism, where an infinite increase of profits and getting a monopoly is the desired state for every corporation. It’s the intended function of our system.

In order to protect us and our planet we need to abolish capitalism in all its forms.

Not really. The TOS is a collection of legal garbage that they’re going to use to argue in court. You can’t sign away your basic rights by agreeing to the TOS since the clause in the TOS would be illegal.

Doesn’t stop Disney from trying of course

Just pirate it that way you agreed to nothing.

Commercial TOS contracts that forfeit your rights risk that forfeiture extending beyond the constraints ofmthe contract.

Which is a great reason to avoid terms of service at all,

Which is a great reason to pirate.

It reminds me of Google’s war against adblocking, which fails to acknowledge ads are a vector for spyware and malware.

Who doesn’t take a free trial? They got me, it’s over. No amount of pirating can save me now.
Sure, this would never hold up in court in my country, but I also could not afford to go to court against fucking Disney.
