And does Sony have a reason besides, "It's mine, and you can't share it because I said so!" for why they don't like when fans of old game shows they now own upload episodes to streaming sites?
Because if they're not attempting to monetize on them with reruns on GSN or elsewhere, where do they lose by fans uploading episodes of their shows to YouTube, upon which they can monetize?
I'm just not seeing where Sony doesn't get it with this while Fremantle does.

They don't need any other reason than that.

I'm no intellectual property lawyer...though I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express one time in 2003. With that said, I'd imagine that a lawsuit for copyright infringement would be harder to prove if it could be successfully proven they disregarded other violators.

By "get it", you mean allowing others to commit digital piracy for your own selfish reasons.
When you complain that others come across as "condescending" in response to your posts, perhaps you should put a little stock into what you post.

I did not say that they did but only asked if they did have another reason.

You're wrong. By "get it", I mean realizing there's money to be made with the fans sharing your content through streaming.

Perhaps you should as well, as you're way too quick to use invective with people around here. I asked a legitimate question, and your insulting me is out of line.

Brandon is right. Ever since Fremantle started monetizing videos I imagine they've shown more leeway but I do know one channel got absolutely potatoed this week.

If you're referring to The Game Show Channel, it's my understanding that uploading UK Millionaire was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I didn't have GSN during its run there, so I haven't seen these later episodes since the USA Network days. I like seeing them intact and crystal clear, and I have no real interest in scouring YouTube for the VHS transfers and GSN'ed videos that have been uploaded.
I'm a little bummed that the show is taking a break, but this isn't the first time Buzzr has taken Press Your Luck off the schedule entirely, and I hope it'll be back soon enough.

I agree with that. Brandon's right that there's enough of the show out there, but the final couple of months of the show have either never been repeated, or were shown just once on USA back in the early '90s. It would be good to finally see them to close out the original series.
