Disney argues it was legal to kill a doctor because she had a Disney+ trial once (wdwnt.com)

It's worse than that. It's arguing that her estate and surviving husband can't sue because he had a trial subscription to Disney+. It's fucking absurd.

Because she had a trial if I read it correctly. So the dismissal is baseless

After their meal, Piccolo returned to their hotel room, and Tangsuan and her mother-in-law continued to shop at Disney Springs. later that evening, Tangsuan had an acute allergic reaction in Planet Hollywood, self-administered an EpiPen, and was transported to a local hospital, where she later died.

In the latest update for the Disney Springs wrongful death lawsuit, Disney cited legal language within the terms and conditions for Disney+, which “requires users to arbitrate all disputes with the company.” Disney claims Piccolo reportedly agreed to this in 2019 when signing up for a one-month free trial of the streaming service on his PlayStation console.

From this it seems the husband was the one with the Disney+ trial, and they're arguing that this lets them off the hook legally for his wife's death.

Too bad that if the motion gets denied, chances are the jurors will never hear that Disney pulled this shit in the first place.

If I knew that I would do my best to give a hundred million dollars to the plaintiffs because Disney can afford it and they should be punished for being dick heads and that would be within our power as a jury to do.

Agreed. Fuck, I'd even say that's just appropriate damages, not even just magnified to match their means. They killed a doctor. I'd want Disney to compensate not just for her life, but for all of the invaluable medical care she'd have been able to provide for who knows how many patients over a long career which was cut tragically short by sheer negligence.

Fuck em. I hope the attorneys that argued this and any executive that learned about it and could have stopped it get cancer and suffer in the worst ways imaginable.
