The passes “fundamentally disrupt this industry-standard model by allowing customers to purchase access to the most sought-after programming, such as major sports events, essentially a la carte for a fraction of the cost that the consumer would have had to pay to watch the event on a pay-per-view basis,” argues WBD. Like a similar lawsuit filed by Disney, WBD seeks unspecified damages and an order to block further short-term package offerings.
