So you would have the following flow:

1) Content creators create movie

2) Content creator uploads movie to website, and perhaps pays a small fixed fee (to prevent spam and crap)

3) Consumers go to website and can stream movie, get disc pressed, or perhaps even an image for use in a theater for a fee

4) Content is delivered to the consumer

5) Consumer fee is paid over to content creator minus a fee for the distribution

The question becomes then, is can you get enough content that is worth paying for in order to cover the bandwidth costs and the storage costs?
