I know there is RIAA-less music and people have made RIAA-less music discovery services. Is there a MPAA-less movie industry?

- sdkmvx 15y agoMaking good music can be done by a few sufficiently talented people in a garage, and good enough microphones to record that aren't that expensive. Making good movies requires hundreds of people to cooperate, a huge time commitment, and equipment (cameras, film, lighting, sound, editing software/hardware, actors(!), et cetera). There is the indie movie industry, and it can certainly be done for significantly less than what Hollywood spends on feature films, but making a good movie is still significantly harder than making a good song. Your best bet for MPAA-less movies are non-US movies and independent movies. However, I don't think indie movies will ever become as widespread as indie music.

MPAA is composed of just six studios: MPAA’s members are the six major U.S. motion picture studios Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Paramount Pictures Corporation Sony Pictures Entertainment, Inc. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation Universal City Studios LLC Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.
