Nope. Disney is perfectly happy with "public commons" idea. Definition of "public commons" being "something made by people who do not bother with infringiment lawsuits". Like this. Now the big question is: if someone can not pay $1 for protection how can he/she afford expensive lawsuit ? And without lawsuits copyright obviously does not work (see link above).
