The two companies announced a comprehensive new distribution deal Monday night that includes breakthroughs in how digital media rights are treated. The agreement marks a breach in the four major networks’ united defense against Dish Network and its ad-skipping technology called AutoHop: As part of the deal, Disney said it would drop a lawsuit.
