You are being disingenuous. No student will make a better movie, because a movie is a plot, but also the work of thousands of people and hundreds of millions of dollars. No student has that, no matter how good are his ideas.
Why would anyone risk millions if everyone can watch it for free?

Also, there would be no R&D if people (companies are just that) didn't risk millions or billions. No new drugs, as manufacturing them has a negligible cost. No new robots, no new software nor new vehicles....don't get me started on aeroplane development costs....

I don't know about art, but in every other realm, people that say "copying is not theft are either lying or don't understand basic economics.
