Before Survivor entered Reality Television into the collective unconscious, there was already a predecessor: Judge Judy. Judge Judy was precisely the sort of arbiter that judge.me aspires to be -- including the somewhat-misleading terminology about "courts" and "judges", even though the arbiter is not strictly bound by local laws but rather by the arbiter's whims -- also they probably excluded the $150 cost to bring the lawsuit, since they instead sold ads. Actually, if you told the reality TV folk about Judge Judy nowadays they would probably ask the audience to text in votes which would determine the ruling, and the "judge" would mostly be a mediator and host who would decide what evidence was "admissible" for the public's consumption or so.
Judge.me might in these respects be a difficult sell. If it is ideologically anarcho-capitalist, then that provides robustness against corruption: but it also means that your 'judges' might simply say "yes there is this nuance in your country's law, but I don't like it and it seems too complicated, so I'm just going to ignore it." There doesn't seem to be an appeals process if this happens. So the lawyers of large corporations might be very hesitant to turn over their contracts to something so seemingly whimsical. I don't know. I am not sure that this acts to further anarcho-capitalist idealism, but it will probably work for its purpose as long as that idealism exists in the first place.
1. Yes I am an anarcho-capitalist and this is the reason I started the company.
2. Judge Judy is indeed arbitration, where parties waive their right for privacy in return for a free arbitration.
3. Ancapistan would fundamentally be a Kritarchy (rule of judges), so arbitrator reputation is crucial and case law can develop from that. Also, even "ex aequo et bono" arbitration simply means applying contract law in practice.
