Disney has agreed to a $50 million settlement to resolve allegations that it violated antitrust laws in connection with live streaming TV prices. The lawsuit claims that Disney used its market power to artificially inflate the costs consumers paid for popular live TV streaming services, specifically YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream. If you subscribed to YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream during the relevant period and believe you may have overpaid as a result of these alleged pricing practices, you could be eligible to receive a share of the settlement fund. This is a significant settlement that could put real money back in the pockets of everyday streaming customers. This settlement is still in its early stages, and key details like the exact claim deadline, individual payout amounts, and the official claim form are not yet available.
