The Big Board / Re: “Cool a new game show!” but it’s not a game show

Recently, Buzzr had been quietly airing "new" episodes of Press Your Luck on the weekends, which I had been enjoying. 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.
And with that, TIL that the NYT owned TV stations, all in the South for some reason
I would understand were they Body Language and Double Dare or Treasure Hunt and The $20,000 Pyramid but honestly, that's a little excessive and over the top. 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.
Has nothing to do with GT. He took the Sony gamble and lost. That's my final answer
They don't need any other reason than that.
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.

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 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.
I'm just not seeing where Sony doesn't get it with this while Fremantle does.By "get it", you mean allowing others to commit digital piracy for your own selfish reasons.
