    Arbitration clauses are absolute bullshit, and have no place in the democratic society. Courts and law exist to protect citizens, there should be no possible way to waive your rights away, no matter if it’s a murder or minor dispute.

      It’s one thing if it’s something where the victim is voluntarily putting themselves at risk (like skydiving, or all the “so spicy you have to sign a waiver to eat it because it actually could kill you” things), but a wrongful death clause for a streaming service?? Under what pretext, that Goofy’s gonna snap from all the jokes about him, Samara himself out of the TV and murder a random set of viewers???

    Whether Piccolo actually reviewed the Disney terms is also immaterial,” the motion says.

    that’s about the only thing the disney lawyer got right. the terms are bullshit and unrelated to the death
