I had a friend who worked in the animation department at Disney, back when they still had an animation department (it's mostly outsourced now). They were adamant about not hearing new story ideas from the outside, to the point that my friend would get nervous when we discussed ideas for books that we were going to write or other such whimsical conversations. The funny thing is, since she was laid off from Disney she's been pursuing writing original material herself! I think these big corporations can become very vulnerable and need to protect their shareholders' interests to the point that they become insulated from the customer base that supports them.

"Do not send us your ideas, no matter what!" Crowdsourcing has its place and I have seen it be successful with some people. There are quite a few disadvantages, though, so caution (or at least some good planning) is important when implementing a crowdsourcing element to your business. Thanks for the links and the interesting story. :) Haha, that is too funny. “Do not send us your ideas, no matter what!”
