I wonder if the entertainment industry is headed to a model comparable to venture capitalism. Isn't it like this already? Shows like 30 Rock and The Late Show are created by production companies owned by Tina Fey and David Letterman. The shows are jointly owned by the production companies and the star's production companies. Even smaller potatoes productions are owned by production companies, not the networks. I.e. all that crap like "Rob and Big" on MTV is joint owned by MTV and a production company owned by some random dudes. The finance and ownership issues relating to TV and Film are probably more sophisticated than high-tech venture capital.
