I'm not saying Disney should be held liable, but the fact remains that the defense they initially went with was "You used an unrelated service for a week several years ago so you can't sue us" instead of something credible and relevant.
No, the fact remains that there is literally no reason for Disney to have been included in the lawsuit to begin with. And the "unrelated service" that they used (on actually several occasions according to Disney's motion) contained a boilerplate arbitration agreements that literally every corporation under the sun uses. Shady as shit? Absolutely. Both parties are being shady as shit. The lawsuit only included Disney because there was never going to be a big payday without them. Nothing about the plaintiff or Disney is either credible or relevant.
Then Disney should have argued that instead of something shady as shit.
