Case overview
What is the The Walt Disney Company settlement about?
The Walt Disney Company has agreed to a proposed settlement resolving a class action lawsuit that accused it of violating federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws by engaging in conduct that allegedly drove up the price of streaming live pay TV. Disney denies any wrongdoing, and no court has ruled that it broke the law, both sides chose to settle rather than face the cost and uncertainty of a trial.
If a judge approves the deal, Disney will pay $50 million total to resolve the claims. Class members who submit a valid claim form would receive a pro rata cash payment, an equal share calculated according to how long they held a YouTube TV and/or DirecTV Stream subscription.
No receipts or supporting documents are required to file a claim. The settlement administrator may reach out if additional information is needed and may cross-check claims using YouTube TV and/or DirecTV Stream subscription data.
