Disney's lawsuit against Redbox is over, and it's not great news for Redbox. The two sides have agreed to a settlement that will have Redbox stop the sale of movie download codes from Disney disc packs. Attorneys for Disney had accused Redbox of violating copyright by offering the codes separately from the discs that went into rental kiosks. Redbox had accused Disney of anti-competitive behavior and succeeded in thwarting a preliminary injunction that would have blocked sales, but its defense fell apart after Disney reworked the disc packs' terms to make code access contingent on how you bought the movies rather than physical ownership.

The change led a judge to grant Disney an injunction, and Redbox lost all of its counterclaims save for one accusing Disney of false advertising. It had run out of options, to put it another way. The settlement helps Redbox avoid potentially worse consequences that might come from fighting to the very end.

Adult Cigarette Smoking Hits All-Time Low

Amid mounting concerns over e-cigarette use, the adult smoking rate reached an all-time low of 13.7% in 2018, a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows.

More than 40% of American adults smoked in 1965, when the federal government began tracking tobacco use after the U.S. surgeon general released a landmark report on the health effects of smoking. Since then, smoking rates have been falling, yet smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S., according to the new report.
