Delving into Disney’s impact in the media and the realm of copyright and entertainment law offered me a new perspective on the company and the future of the media world. Market economies and capitalism will always call for success and failure in each industry, and Disney has work arduously to maintain their power and position. After releasing biases of positivity from my childhood I was finally able to view Disney as the corporation that it is. It is my understanding that Disney is not necessarily a monopoly of the entertainment industry, but one of three powerful media conglomerates (in addition to Viacom and Time Warner).
Of course I had to do some research there myself!
I think if one company is powerful it is better that it is an evolving company like Disney rather than a sex selling one like MTV or other stations. I have grown to appreciate and respect Disney in a whole new way, both for their fair paying when they do merge with companies and their poise in copyright laws. Although it can be said that original creators should benefit from their works, as a pre law student I know that Disney in all cases fairly owned the rights that artists signed away. The salient finding of my research is that Disney is definitely one of the most impactful and influential media groups in existence.
