Would Walt Disney do a mashup?

I recently came across John Sviokla's blog and read his outstanding essay on Walt Disney. He believes that the legendary animation pioneer would be running studio Disney very differently (by innovating and remixing) if he were alive today.

John’s comments point out how deeply studio Disney misunderstands the concept of innovation. In their efforts to go for the Big Idea, they consistently crush users trying to create the big idea for them (mostly through Disney's zealous – and misguided – enforcement of copyright protection). Can Disney ever learn to love Open Source? Your comments are welcome.
