The well-known startup incubator Y Combinator declared war on Hollywood. The way to kill is proposed to come up with entrepreneurs, and Y Combinator will provide funding. The conditions are listed in
RFS # 9 (Request For Startup), this funding offer to a startup that implements the outlined idea.
The events of recent months have clearly shown that Hollywood is dying. They think that file sharing is killing them, but in fact it is a natural process that comes as a result of the technological revolution. In the future, movies will be replaced by new types of entertainment - maybe computer games, interactive virtual entertainment, social networks, other online technologies. So far we don’t know what the entertainment industry will look like in 20 years, but one thing is clear - Hollywood will die. You need to make it happen as quickly as possible. It is in the interest of all mankind.
The problem is that Hollywood is too powerful an industry to die quietly and peacefully, as manufacturers of typewriters or film cameras (Kodak and Polaroid quietly went bankrupt, and did not pay the laws that forbid copying digital photos to Congress). So, before his death, Hollywood will certainly try to inflict as much damage as possible on society and the world economy. The SOPA example perfectly demonstrates this.

Every year, Hollywood allocates huge sums for lobbying its interests in Congress and the Senate. Every year they take more and more stupid new bills. Fortunately, almost all of them do not reach the procedure of voting in the Congress, but in 2011 two bills SOPA and PIPA reached dangerously close. Now they are
recalled , this time carried by. But next year, all this will inevitably happen again, because Hollywood will not stop, and his death agony will be stronger with each passing year, which brings him to death.
Y Combinator offers funding for a startup that will speed the death of Hollywood. This startup should set a goal to promote new types of entertainment. These types of entertainment should be designed primarily for the audience that is still watching TV and movies. Perhaps, at the first stage, it will look like an aid in the development of the TV and film industry, but it will be a false impression (as at first, Microsoft seemed to be “helping” IBM, supplying them with technology, but in fact it was a deceptive maneuver, well-thought plan to bend the whole market in the future).
