      Thanks to Disney's domination of Hollywood and absurd copyright laws, it's getting harder to see classic movies in theatres. https://www.vulture.com/2019/10/disney-is-quietly-placing-classic-fox-movies-into-its-vault.html …

      Disney is, as a matter of policy choice, destroying a great cultural institution (the repertory cinema). It's an institution that has nurtured not just film buffs but also filmmakers for decades.

      Imagine if billionaires bought up all the paintings currently in museums. And all the museum closed. And then billionaires said people can download images of those paintings (for a fee) in lieu of museums.

          Capitalism and art rarely go hand in hand. As to the paintings, many have done just that.

          Of course, on the flip side, highly cherished and highly priced art is preserved and taken care of best by people who have the wherewithal to do so.
