That would barely finance one single movie. The only way to make profit in that market is to steal. And long-term in that market only crap would be produced.

People who don't like what Hollywood offers, should vote with their wallet. It doesn't give someone else the right to undercut their investments and profit off it themselves at a grossly unsustainable price-point. Of course the government gets involved when that happens.
