No that's not the point of copyright at all.
Many content producers will argue it's 100% their work - no, not exactly, most everything out there is built upon other people's work (Disney sure goes out of their way to protect their copyrights, but consider the basis of much of their content is copied from earlier ideas and works)... Many artists, writers, etc like to believe their idea is 100% totally unique, it's not - most everything is a derivative work of something else; much of the contribution being that of society as a whole...
Copyright is intended to be very time limited to encourage creativity; control was never intended to be absolute.
