Yes.
Which has already been attempted, not least in romantic fiction where a certain well known publisher did exactly that - channeled sales through a shell company which allowed it to pay a hugely reduced royalty rate based on the publisher's net income.
That didn't end well, and I doubt this will end well either. It would be very surprising if there aren't multiple writers involved, and this will most likely go through an expensive class action or at the very least an expensive out of court settlement.
Whatever Disney's bean counters and lawyers believe they are saving is going to be wiped out in a few weeks of bad PR when core fans hear about this.

It feels like it's not the first time they are treating their creators like trash. Here's Don - the best Donald Duck comic writer of all - Rosa's story about that: https://career-end.donrosa.de/ https://career-end.donrosa.de/
- sam1r 6y agoIncredible. Thanks for posting this.
- fakedang 6y agoI doubt a bunch of kids will be inclined to take action against Disney for this. They wouldn't even know what's happening, nor will their parents. Guessing Disney is counting on this for the case to be a non-issue.
