The problem with Hollywood is that it is *not* even close to a free market. It is largely an oligarchy with opaque financials and controlled distribution, much like Big Finance. Yes, you do get occasional innovations like Sundance or E*Trade, but that doesn't mean it is easy for new entrants to truly compete on their own merits. That said, I do think it is far more productive to work to support alternatives (like, say, Fireproof or Motley Fool) than to bemoan the stranglehold the established elite have over the choices most Americans face.
