Aren’t contracts null and void if one party ends the service? Like the trial is over so the contract has ended. Just because I test drove a Ford once does not mean I can’t sue Ford for their car exploding next to mine and destroying it.

Even if it weren’t an expired trial for Disney+ though. I think it’s incredibly unreasonable that an agreement to arbitration related to your streaming service should apply to restaurant liability. No reasonable person would believe that they should check the clauses of their Paramount+ contract before eating a Sonic the Hedgehog chili dog from the spot in the park next to the aaahh real monsters log flume ride. If we decide that that’s how we should legally be living, then it’s absolutely time to rip subsidiaries out of the hands of parent companies. When there are only like 6 companies in the world, there is no legitimate competition. I reject the logical conclusion to this strategy, which is that we are cash cow consumers, paying a subscription for company membership to continue being alive and waiving all personal freedoms and choices.
It’s way past time to break up these gigantic conglomerates. But better late than never.
