Disney has held their copyrights for over 100 years, but this phenomenon seems to be one of the last decade. I don’t think it is the cause, but you might be right that fixing © would help.

Minor nit, the Walt Disney Corporation was founded October 16, 1923 and US copyright has anything published in 1926 or earlier in the public domain.
I rather doubt, though, that the fact that The Great Gatsby just entered the public domain this year has anything to do with the concentration of the market in the hands of a declining number of producers.
