Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed | Zach Schonfeld

The amount of media being wiped from the internet is worrying for viewers, and industry workers who need the exposure, says journalist and critic Zach Schonfeld

Last June, fans of Comedy Central – the long-running channel behind beloved programmes such as The Daily Show and South Park – received an unwelcome surprise. Paramount Global, Comedy Central’s parent company, unceremoniously purged the vast repository of video content on the channel’s website, which dated back to the late 1990s.

    What’s a safe place to buy storage online? I’ve seen horror stories of an sd card in a drive enclosure, and modifying the storage to make it appear larger than it is.

      I get mine on Amazon. But I know a lot of people don’t like Amazon.

      I’ve used ebay before many times, just be diligent. The problem with these bazaar style marketplaces is much less accountability and LOTS of fakes.

      Not the best prices, but it seems like Best Buy, B&H Photo, Costco, stuff like that, might be the better “straight from the source” retailers.

      I don’t trust Newegg anymore. Used to like them but they’ve been chasing the wannabe-Amazon rabbit and have been caught doing shady crap to customers.
