Canis_76 , in Disney wants wrongful death of LI doctor lawsuit tossed over Disney+ streaming terms

I’m not saying that one should be confined to home eating only what they personally curate. I am saying that this broad made it through medical school, did a residency, dealt with a healthy cross section of society at is dumbest. Who literally puts their life in the hands of a waiter, who has to them communicate to a cook, if there was one. Some doctors graduate with D’s.

What does any of this have to do with the fact that Disney wants the case dismissed because they had a Disney+ trial account years ago?

ZombiFrancis , in Starbucks’ CEO is out. Chipotle’s Brian Niccol is taking over

Schultz came out of retirement just to shit on unionizing efforts and then pass it along. Just a little union busting, as a treat.

mindlight , in Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

If you want to avoid ads it might be a good idea to not use products from a company which primary goal is to make money on ads…

But hey, what do I know…

cdf12345 , in Disney wants wrongful death of LI doctor lawsuit tossed over Disney+ streaming terms

Arbitration clauses need to be deemed illegal.

Especially ones that are mandatory for employment

solsangraal ,

or at the absolute bare fucking minimum be opt-in only, instead of “opt out by sending us a handwritten letter through snail mail within 45 minutes of this notice.” the shit offers less than zero benefit to the consumer and basically lets corporations get away with murder

nothing will ever change to make them go away

Maggoty ,

Opt in with customers isn’t a thing. If you don’t opt in, you don’t get housing, or Internet, or phone service. The list goes on. Opt in is libertarian propaganda. No different than at will employment.

Sesudesu ,

Yeah, I was gonna say basically the same thing, ‘opt in’ is just a solid point of leverage away from ‘required.’

Should be illegal.

hddsx ,

Arbitration has its place in B2B contracts.

With consumers or employees? Absolutely not

@Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

If nothing else, they should always be mutual. Have Disney take their copyright claims to arbitration rather than using the other legal channels available to them.

gramie ,

I’m just about to move to Quebec, which is based on the French Napoleonic code rather than English Common Law. I’m not an expert, but I understand that the French system does not rely on precedent in making judicial decisions, but everything has to be codified in the law.

Anyway, another one of the legal differences between Quebec and other provinces in Canada is that mandatory arbitration clauses are illegal.

The medical system may be imploding even faster than the rest of Canada, and my rights as an English speaker may be stripped from me by the time I move, but they do have some protections for individuals.

LustyArgonianMana ,
@LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world avatar

Yes agreed. It should be illegal to compel someone to give up their fucking rights (to their detriment and to the benefit of the person making them agree especially, especially when the person benefitting is an authority figure). This includes police encouraging the people they arrest to talk without a lawyer.

Coach , in Donald Trump says he will flee to Venezuela if he loses election [Newsweek]

The mob speak is insane, but in reality, would this be grounds to revoke any bail/bonds he’s currently on?

Imgonnatrythis ,

Yes

MutilationWave ,

Like billionaire rich? Only since truth social went public.

prole ,

Yeah, everyone is saying this is him saying he’s going to bail, and yeah I agree but I also read more into it. I saw it as a signal to his base that they have “a plan” to retreat and re-strategize or whatever. Why would he just give up and live quietly in Venezuela? If this dude loses, he will make Kamala’s life a living hell.

And I bet there are Americans willing to follow him there (good riddance tbh).

gibmiser , in Disney wants wrongful death of LI doctor lawsuit tossed over Disney+ streaming terms

“Disney is calling for the lawsuit to be dismissed because her husband signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service years prior.

The company says signing up for the trial requires users to arbitrate all disputes with the company.”

Some lawyers truly are scum.

TransplantedSconie ,

Wow.

foggy ,

I do hope whoever suggested that this is a legitimate cause to dismiss the case dies of an intestinal blockage caused by hemorrhoids. Just a thing I hope.

mke ,

If a lawyer is scum, then so is the one paying them.

BossDj ,

“I don’t care how you handle it, just handle it.”

SteveFromMySpace ,

Some people/companies/etc. really take “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” too far.

scytale ,

Arguing over health/death via a technicality is one of the lowest of lows.

Maggoty ,

This shouldn’t even be a technicality here. If this goes through and a TOS is universally binding to your life then the court system just died. Also they can put other ridiculous things in there like you owe them the subscription money in perpetuity even if you decide to uninstall the app. They’ll argue the consideration is there because you can re-install at any time.

Glemek ,

Just get your bullets inscribed with “by receiving this bullet you have agreed to our tos, by which all liability is to be decided by the shooter’s dog, who does not like you.” Then murder is legal.

newthrowaway20 ,

Maybe we can finally claw these arbitration powers back?

iamericandre ,

Wait this isn’t a joke?

QuantumSparkles ,

Very much nottheonion material. Something like

”Disney Legal Team Argues that Agreeing to the Terms & Conditions of Their Streaming Platform Releases The Company of Any and All Potential Liability in Shellfish Poisonings”

Fucking hell

“Signing up for a free trial of Disney+ means they can kill you, legally.”

”Disney Legal Team Argues that Agreeing to the Terms & Conditions of Their Streaming Platform Releases The Company of Any and All Potential Liability in Political Assassination”

Adderbox76 ,

All corporate lawyers are scum.

some_guy ,

This could be a precedent-setting case. These fuckers better not get away with this.

BossDj ,

But this is happening in post-precedent America

KevonLooney ,

So would this mean that Disney can no longer use their massive legal department to crush fair use of their IP? If someone signs up for Disney+, the arbitration agreement goes both ways.

I would think a competent judge would just ask the Disney lawyer that question. Like, “do you want to be out of a job?”

some_guy ,

That’s actually a pretty sharp observation. Weaponize it against them in return.

billiam0202 ,

No.

You and Disney agree to arbitrate all your claims. Disney still retains the right to fuck you over to the full extent of the legal system.

After all, corporations are people, and some people are more people than other people.

@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t blame lawyers, blame the lawmakers. Heck, people and/or civil society is responsible for petitioning to lawmakers for stronger protections. Absurd amounts of money/lobbying has perverted the process, which is why a lot of these entities need to be taxed of out their power to have lobbying money.

Cephalotrocity , in The big question touching a nerve this election: "Can my husband find out who I am voting for?"

Nobody can know who you voted for in the booth unless you tell them. Just that you voted. Ballots are unsigned and you place it in the box (supervised, but folded and unexamined) yourself.

blackluster117 ,
@blackluster117@possumpat.io avatar

I mean, mail in ballots are signed. At least, the envelope containing them is. There’s that.

Cephalotrocity ,

An abusive husband could loom over the wife as they filled it in too. Is why I said ‘in the booth’.

whyNotSquirrel , in Michigan man accused of fatally shooting his neighbor following argument over mulch
@whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works avatar

Didn’t know what mulch is, and I’m still not sure. We’re talking about this?: https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/83b3a76a-2178-43f7-a2f6-5c9f1b97f52b.jpeg

I don’t understand

NOT_RICK ,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah that’s mulch. Mulch is a weed barrier and a great source of nutrients for flower and shrub beds

This was probably a property line argument or just a little kid being a little kid and throwing some mulch around. This will never really make any sense because the perpetrator sounds like a total lunatic

moon , in The big question touching a nerve this election: "Can my husband find out who I am voting for?"

Uhh I think there’s a much bigger issue then elections there

moon , in Michigan man accused of fatally shooting his neighbor following argument over mulch

relatable, but with computer operating systems

Treczoks , in Liz Truss leaves stage in Beccles as 'lettuce' banner unfurls

Hey, Liz, it is not “supression of free speech” if you just run away from reality with your tail between your legs.

Omgboom , in Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

Susceptible to malware even

HoustonHenry , in The State Fair of Texas is banning firearms, drawing threats of legal action from Republican AG

I’ve gone to the Texas State Fair when I was a kid back in the late 80’s and 90’s…it’s just a bunch of salesmen and food for the most part these days (kinda was then too, just had more actual activities for kids to participate in)

AmidFuror , in Liz Truss leaves stage in Beccles as 'lettuce' banner unfurls

Sounds like she walked off on her own accord, not due to the recommendations of any security team.

I prefer people who can laugh at themselves in moments like these.
