Proof Required?
Disney agreed to a $50 million settlement to resolve an antitrust class action (Biddle v. Disney) alleging that Disney made live streaming-TV packages more expensive by requiring providers to bundle ESPN and other Disney-owned channels into their base plans β€” making it harder to offer cheaper, sports-free options. If you subscribed to YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream (or DirecTV Now / AT&T TV Now) during the class period, you can file for a cash payment. No proof is required β€” the providers have your subscription records.
