Video production of a live event can be pretty easily automated. It's not no work, but once you're setup to do it it's pretty simple.

Creating an accurate transcript of a live event is time consuming, and "hard" (well, it's tedious, which most people take to mean hard) to do right. Even if you don't any qualms crowd sourcing for something like this, you still need to manage the crowd sourcing, and get an edit cycle in there.

TL;DR; Free things are free for a reason.
