  • Disney wins in that scenario, because they have more resources to spend on getting their media out there.

    As… Opposed to now?

    If Disney does plagiarize small artists’ work, and becomes known for it, they take a reputation hit, and the artist gets an explosion of exposure, as long as it is provable he made the original story. (Disney making million-dollar budget movies of your OC, isn’t even that bad for you, to be honest, but let’s assume that it doesn’t market the fuck out of your small artist story. In real life, stories are not in competition.)

    If Disney doesn’t, then it’s an undeniable positive for worldwide creativity.
