Some films or shows I like to collect because they are not available online
or demand you to pay for each episode. I don't like the idea of "buying" a
virtual copy, then have the service go out of business or pull that tile from
it's library.
On VHS I have the original Star Wars trilogy from before Lucas
digitally "enhanced" the series, and did stupid things like making Greedo
shoot first. Some TV series did not transition well when going to
syndication or other forms of media distribution. A good example is the 1980'
s war series Tour of Duty. That series had an awesome soundtrack consisting
ocf several great songs from the Vietnam era. When they went into
syndication and to DVD, they couldn't get the rights to the origianl music,
or the IP owners wanted too much money. Imagine watching A Hard Days Night
and find all the Beatle's songs have been replaced with generic muzak?
I tried to find a service streaming the 1950's film To Hell and Back so my
nephew could watch it, and we couldn't find a host.
