Sony says Mythbusters and more Discovery TV shows are going away whether you bought them or not

Not to mention just as much of the blame should be on Discovery, who’s pulling this kind of shit all over the place, including removing shoes from HBO that they own the licenses of.
Personally my long held belief is that things should become public domain and lose their copyright protection if after they’ve been released they’re not kept available at reasonable prices compared to similar products on the market
They should go in the public domain in a reasonable number of years like they were originally designed to, just like patents. Both served the purpose of protecting commercial use for a limited time to promote innovation. Patents still promotes, copyright stifles due to extending the duration to a ridiculous amount.
Oh for sure. But I mean this as a more immediate result of trying to subvert existing licenses.
