The response we are seeing from actors now is very similar to what happened when video recording was introduced.
One of the reasons so many old TV shows like Dr Who are lost is because of rules actors forced requiring their fees be paid a second time after a performance being shown a certain number of times. The broadcasters ended up just destroying the tapes after broadcasting it.
Whatever happens I just hope nothing is lost this time.
it's a lot harder to make stuff disappear these days
It's harder to fully erase things, but it's also still very hard to preserve things. Video games on dead consoles and that ran on housing servers are a prime example.
fair point
