It rather depends what you count as "killing Hollywood".

Back in the late 90s, I used to get rather perplexed by the way geeks railed against DVD zoning, DMCA, etc. Yes, the entertainment industry was acting in fairly nasty ways to defend itself, but then drug dealers can be unpleasant too. My view was the debates around DRM circumvention didn't even touch on the root cause of the entertainment industry's power.

Michael Ventura once summarized the meaning of entertainment: "You go from a job you don't like to watching a screen on which others live more intensely than you." On that view of things, something like meetup.com is more of a threat to Hollywood than youtube could ever be.
