Eligible subscribers may be able to file a claim for a share of a proposed $50M settlement after Disney agreed to resolve a federal class action lawsuit. The lawsuit accuses the company of utilising its market power to raise streaming prices.

YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream subscribers may qualify if they paid during the eligible period, and to receive their share, customers will have to submit a claim before the deadline. The final payout hasn't been set yet until it receives court approval.
