The world deserves to see this - Lemmy.World

I wish films became open source after a short period, that is, I want to see studios eventually release all their archival materials for every film so that fans can release their own cuts. Eventually it’d just be normal to see perfected versions of films. As cultural norms change the work can be tailored or lampooned to stay relevant and valuable.
And it doesn’t have to take away from company profits, in fact it can add much MORE profit. Just make it so that all the individual uncut raw reels are freely available, but reassembled movies can only be uploaded and shown on the company’s streaming service. This’ll create a huge increase in viewer demand for the company’s properties, with basically zero cost to the owners.
That takes away all the enthusiasm of the creators
How do you figure?
Are you doing all this work to share with fellow movie fans for free, or are you working for paramount plus for free?
Yes, there are a million zillion film people who would are absolutely DREAMING of being able to do this. The idea of this isn’t that someone else can take a film and reedit it to make money, that misses the point entirely
