There's the elephant in the room, actually... Just what if, Disney has indeed ALLOWED the authors to use their intellectual property? We could boycott them, sure, but the sad reality is that said boycott would only reach a small portion of Disney's target audience/buyers - it'd be but the tiniest impact on their profits, really.
Or people raise a stink about how Disney sues bakers yet lets Youtube creators create scat videos starring their intellectual properties... it's a bigger risk to their profits, I think, if people (esp parents) started talking about it on social media.
My point there though, is that I'm worried about how efficiently the message of "boycott disney because~", would spread.
I mean, let's face it, Disney has been copping flak for decades, regarding it's ties to nazism, the blatant sexual innuendo littered throughout their work, etc etc... if these aren't enough to shut Disney down, unfortunately, I doubt that some abstract videos(as fucked up as they are), will be enough to bring Disney to it's knees.
I'm being cynical/pessimistic, I know, but something tells me that Disney is at least partially complicit - whether in just the elsagate videos or the grand scheme of trafficking abroad, remains to be confirmed.

That said, I'd still support such a move :P
