It might help if "disrupt the film industry" would be defined. Seriously, what does that even mean? Disrupt it so "the little guy" can make movies? You can put together a feature-length movie with an iPhone, a good microphone, and free editing software. Actors might help, too. Want some snazzy vfx? You can do your own. Want your product to be seen all over the world? Thanks to the magical internet, you can have it up for sale on numerous sites. So what do we mean by "disruption"? Oh, you want people to actually see your masterpiece? That doesn't require disruption; what you're talking about is old-fashioned marketing. You need a "Paranormal Activity"-style marketing campaign (a movie, BTW, which cost $10K to make).

Chances are, though, your movie is crap (as 95% of anything is) so nobody is going to want to see it anyway.

Look up "Hollywood accounting". Not to mention DRM too.

Looked up "Hollywood accounting". Basically an accounting trick to screw people out of their cut of movie profits.

Also familiar with DRM.

Still have GP's original question. What is disrupting hollywood mean?

[yuhong]

Who do you think is responsible for these?

[JamesBarney]

Does disrupting Hollywood mean that Steven Spielberg gets his fair share of the profits?
