Disney is an enormous company, owning pretty much everything in the media world, dwarfing other hollywood companies.

It has a Market Cap of $320b, way bigger than Sony, Time Warner, Viacom and MGM put together.

Apple on the other hand is worth about 7 times as much as Disney.

Yes, but a non-insignificant portion of their revenue comes from content from third-party media companies. They very much have an incentive to play ball with the likes of Disney & Sony, despite having the upper hand in terms of market cap.

Or they could buy Disney and a couple of others
