By that logic, "You don't have a contract with me, therefore you can't own my intellectual property," should also apply, no?

Like, if your intellectual property was given away on the basis of an ongoing royalty payment, and Disney decides not to honour that contract, then they can't keep the IP.

Yeah, that's how I feel about that too, of course. But somehow, looks like Disney got to have the cake and eat it too.

I've been lead to believe that Disneys legal department is feared even among other giant corporations.

They've been doing shady business for a long time and don't fuck around, I guess.
