And it doesn't have to take away from company profits, in fact it can add much MORE profit. Just make it so that all the individual uncut raw reels are freely available, but reassembled movies can only be uploaded and shown on the company's streaming service. This'll create a huge increase in viewer demand for the company's properties, with basically zero cost to the owners.

That takes away all the enthusiasm of the creators

Are you doing all this work to share with fellow movie fans for free, or are you working for paramount plus for free?

Yes, there are a million zillion film people who are absolutely DREAMING of being able to do this. The idea of this isn't that someone else can take a film and reedit it to make money, that misses the point entirely. It's the same way how people write massive amounts of fanfic for free, because they're passionate about it and just want to do it and want to share it with other fans
