    This is an abomination. As the article said, imagine a 30 year old movie being pulled because it showed an Audi or played a certain song! What the hell

      Maybe not pulled, but there are plenty that aren’t legally available digitally because of this, so it’s ridiculous there already too

      I can recall the TV show Northern Exposure from 30 years ago never got an accurate DVD release because of music licensing.

        I’ve recently watched WKRP in Cincinnati, “on the web” with the original tracks. Such a great show at the time.

        I bought the whole show on DVD a few years ago because it wasn’t streaming anywhere. No clue if it was ‘accurate’ though.

        Just noticed it’s now streaming on prime a few days back.

        Thought I was buying a normal copy of the Drew Carey Show, but it was definitely not. Still enjoyed it.
