This would be good opportunity for people to start new film studios and such, founded on more equal profit sharing. Let greedy pieces of shit shrivel and die without labor to exploit.

Actually, they moved to Hollywood so they wouldn’t be under Edison’s camera patents.
They should call it “United Artists”!
And… Jeff Bezos already owns it.
