launching a promotion for any users effected by the blackout to give them access to ESPN+ / Hulu, whatever, for 75% of whatever YoutubeTV gave their users back.

I would think that could open up Disney to price discrimination issues since YT would not be able to compete with such a low price.

The Rest is History has a few episodes, preceding the Bob show, that go into depth on the history of Walt and the company. Highly recommended listen. There's also some videos on YT...

Disney is making a major misstep here. YoutubeTV is offering credits to it's users while content is unavailable. Disney should have been ready to go, launching a promotion for any users effected by the blackout to give them access to ESPN+ / Hulu, whatever, for 75% of whatever YoutubeTV gave their users back.

I would think that could open up Disney to price discrimination issues since YT would not be able to compete with such a low price.

Discrimination against whom?

Discrimination against whom?

Severely undercutting the price that you offer distributers could open them up to a few legal issues. Per Gemini AI:

• Predatory pricing: If the producer sells at a price below its own costs with the intent to eliminate competition and then plans to raise prices to a monopolistic level, it could be considered illegal predatory pricing.
• Illegal agreements: If the producer works with other distributors to unfairly target one distributor with low prices, this could be an illegal conspiracy or restraint of trade.
• Discrimination concerns: Pricing differences could be illegal if they violate specific laws like theRobinson-Patman Act, which prohibits certain forms of price discrimination between competing purchasers, although this is a complex area of law.
