Is it really possible…?
If Disney’s lawyers think it’s possible, it’s probably possible. And if it’s not, they’ll figure out who to lobby to make sure it is.
Comment on Disney wants a wrongful death lawsuit thrown out because the plaintiff had Disney+

Is it really possible to sign away a right to sue a company, especially hidden in an EULA? For an unrelated service as well… I guess that’s something the court must decide in the end.
It’s a pity that a company who created so many beloved stories and characters fell so low.

Yes it is. It is called “forced arbitration” and pretty much every contract you are compelled to sign has it.
In any kind of just society with a fair legal system it would not be legal. But that doesn’t describe us or our legal system.

Disney climbed the ladder of public domain and then pulled the ladder up behind themselves.

And for a free trial, no less! If this isn’t laughed out of the courtroom and dismissed with prejudice, we’re all screwed.
