I think Ben is confused regarding what the intent of the RFS is. This is not an assault on artists. It is important to separate the talented from the studios that profit from artists work. The studios (and by extension production and distribution) are the ones that Y Combinator has declared 'war' on. Other industries are being disrupted in a similar fashion. This is nothing new. I think many in this community realize the damage that the MPAA and the RIAA can cause now. Why not hasten their demise through a process that is already playing out?

There certainly seems to be confusion about what the RFS advocates "killing." Is it the production and distribution system, or the medium itself? Hollywood can mean many things, and some of the RFS seems to be championing alternative delivery while other parts encourage creating alternatives to the medium itself. Those are two very different goals, and it seems that Ben has interpreted the latter as the RFC's message..
