The difference is that Disney functions in a market environment, where the CCP functions as a governing body.<p>In a market environment we give exclusive control of intellectual property to certain parties because we want them to develop that intellectual property. If we didn't give Disney exclusive control over Some Random Princess (TM), then they will be less incentivized to develop the Next Random Princess, since their expected profits from creating Next Random Princess is much lower when anyone can make a movie about Next Random Princess.  However, we like having movies with interesting characters, and we would like  companies like Disney (as well as many other companies) to create interesting characters for our enjoyment.  So we increase the profit motive for them by giving them exclusive control.  We believe that the creation of new intellectual property outweighs the value of having free access to existing intellectual property.<p>With a government body, incentivization doesn't really make any sense, since there aren't competing governing organizations.  Instead, we want our governments to be as open as possible, because we can only have one government, so we want to be able to criticize and influence the way it works.  Note that while revolutions may be a solution to this problem, they are often bloody, and an open, flexible government is a far better solution.
