    Hold on i just realised

    Some arbitration clauses work both ways, meaning disney can’t sue you just as much as you can’t sue them

    So in theory if you signed up for a free trial or something, pirating (and distributing) any disney content would be absolutely legal

      that’s now how it works. the law does not exist to protect you; it exists to make you tolerate your exploitation and feel like it’s fair.

      That they have a specific exception for IP tells me all what they really think about their customers.

      Probably not, they say that you agree to settle your disputes with x corporation through arbitration, nothing about x corporation’s disputes with you. Don’t test the most expensive lawyers in the world, especially when they get to pick the arbitor.

        I am not saying that’s a good idea, but i know that for example discord’s arbitration clauze explicitly states that it works both ways, so it’s not impossible that disney’s does too
