If people would quite renting his movies then he would go away.

No he wouldn't. That's what's so insidious about him. His movies are tax shelters -- the Germans who finance his films get to write-off their investments, and only pay taxes on any dividends they receive if the film turns a profit. So they don't care if the movie loses money, as long as it loses less than they would be paying in taxes.
