  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

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

  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.

    I wouldn’t even say that. The law exists to protect the powerful and doesn’t care if it feels fair to you or not.

      right but it can’t protect the powerful without gaslighting you, because the direct use of violence for control is really really fucking inefficient, and the use of pure terror for control isn’t much better. you need to build the prison in your prisoners’ heads, y’know?
