We don't need to kill Hollywood necessarily. But more broadly, the Hollywood model. Instead of fighting new models, Hollywood could adapt. In a way "kill" itself. We only talk about killing Hollywood because they have historically refused to change. But if they embrace change, then startups should help them change instead of killing it.
