<div id="readability-page-1"><div>By Nicholas G. Miller A federal judge denied Disney's request for a preliminary injunction in its lawsuit against Dish Network, allowing Dish's Sling TV to continue offering short-term passes. In August, Dish began offering short-term passes to its Sling Orange TV service, which includes networks such as Disney's ESPN, for a day, weekend or week. Disney claimed the passes violated its licensing agreement with Dish and requested the court to intervene to bar the sale of the passes. In a ruling filed Tuesday, a U.S. district court judge ruled that Disney had not shown a likelihood of success in proving that Dish is violating its licensing agreement and had also not demonstrated irreparable harm that warrants a preliminary injunction. Disney didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. &#34;We believe customers deserve the flexibility to stream the content they want, whenever they want it, at a price they can afford,&#34; said Seth Van Sickel, senior vice president of Sling TV.
