This isn’t so much an argument for piracy as it is an argument to not patronize Disney. Especially considering that Disney’s motion for arbitration is so far beyond baseless that it’s baffling they’d even attempt it.

AKA: No, Disney will not be able to force you to arbitrate a dispute just because you once (or still do) subscribed to Disney+. Their motion will be denied, and pirating their content will not - in any way - afford you legal protections in the future.

We don't know that yet. I want that to be true. I hope it's true. But it isn't true yet.

It is an argument for piracy. Want to watch a Disney show but don't want to give Disney money in any way? Piracy

A Disney movie? Believe it or not, piracy.

(Sorry, had to)

Like Pirates Of The Caribbean?

That was the argument before this case, and in the virtually certain case the judge denies Disney’s motion, there is no additional argument besides “Disney is even more petty and scummy than we all thought.”

The actual solution in that case is just don't watch a Disney show. You won't die from not watching shows.

Pirating their content doesn't afford you legal protections but agreeing to their license agreements could definitely turn out to have been a big mistake.

If you're just itching for that content, pick your poison.

until the supreme court gets to hear a case like this. can't wait for another 6-3.

It’s still more trouble than piracy tho.
