Disney Settles Live-TV Streaming Lawsuit for $50 Million

Disney has agreed to a $50 million settlement after being accused of inflating market prices by forcing carriers to include ESPN in their live-TV streaming packages. The lawsuit alleged that the media giant artificially raised costs for consumers by bundling its sports content in a way that limited competition. This resolution marks a significant victory for consumer advocates and may set a precedent for other media conglomerates facing similar antitrust scrutiny.
