Re: Points raised in replies:

- It's true the court has means to avoid ruling if the Disney+ arbitration clause applies, by means such as: the arbitration clause on the Disneyworld ticket; ruling arbitration clauses don't apply to wrongful death; ruling Disney the wrong party to sue (another corp owned the restaurant). Regardless, the argument was made and a precedent *could* be set.

- No, sending murder to arbitration isn't the same thing as making murder legal. But it gets you halfway there.

@mcc I'm surprised "binding to arbitration" is legal at all, to be honest. That you can simply invoke “You can't hold us to actual laws, only the laws of a crappier system" seems like a "wishing for more wishes" kind of situation.

@mcc it would convert murder from a capital offense to a capital expense
