new stocks

Imagine great TV Shows/Directors like Seinfeld, Futurama, South Park, Quentin Tarantino, and George Lucas. Now, this is my thing, since TV shows / movies are watched by us then why not just list them on the stock market so we could buy their stocks. Most directors have unlimited money once they get established but between their first attempt and first hit there is always a struggle and listing the stock might be a good way for them to make money without depending too much on film studios. Even established directors like George Lucas could do with some extra money.

This same model can be then extended to music artists, there are bands I like like Sigur Ros and Mum etc who make exceptional music but can’t really tour as extensively because it’s expensive. In fact Mum was to play in Detroit and in the last minute it was cancelled because of money shortage. Why can’t bands raise money from their fans by listing a stock in the stock market?
