When the whims of an American special interest group are catered to at the possible expense of the entire global economy, not to mention the entire world's freedom of speech, I consider it only natural and responsible to desire Hollywood's destruction.

Successful business is about finding new ways to create value for your customers. It's not supposed to be about spending every last cent they give you in an attempt to undermine their rights.

Completely agree. I value rights and freedom more than the industry that produces TV shows and movies. If Hollywood were to disappear, TV shows and movies would still be produced. A form of art only disappears when people cease to practice it of their own volition.

YC's RFS really was more about creating competition that debases the power that MPAA and RIAA supporting companies wield via dilution.

More forms of entertainment => less power any form of entertainment has to impact legislation and government.

The Internet produces a myriad of entertainment filters from which one is free to choose. The Hollywood system produces a small number of filters curated by a handful of people in one one city in one state in one country of the World. Diversity is more valuable and Hollywood threatens that.

Do I lament the loss of a species? Certainly. But if it is necessary to preserve the ecosystem, so be it.

I think this is an article that focuses on the inflammatory title of pg's article, without really looking into his points in-depth. I really don't see how the author of the piece really disagrees with pg.

interesting to see this on news.yc but i got an error message.
