And organizations have been incredibly short-sighted about these things in the past! They felt something was beyond making them any more money, so they destroyed it. Look into the state of old Doctor Who episodes, for example.
Between 1967 and 1978 the BBC would routinely wipe or throw out old recordings. There were limits on how many times they could re-show them on TV, and after a few years they couldn't sell them abroad anymore, so they were erased and reused or tossed out.
97 episodes of one of the most influential sci-fi shows of all time are just GONE. Unless we're exceptionally lucky and copies show up in private collectors hands, they do not exist anymore.
And Doctor Who is actually better than most shows of that era! Z-Cars, a police drama from 1962-1978, is missing entire seasons. Gone. Some of the first work of Brian Blessed! All thrown out.
This wasn't the BBC being uncaring, or malicious, but their job was not to preserve old material. And after a point they couldn't make money off this stuff, and it cost money to preserve it. So it ended up in the trash. It's useless, it takes up space, throw out it, right?
Then suddenly everyone has a home video player and suddenly there's massive demand for back episodes of TV shows. Whoops.
And to their credit: The BBC is now doing a much better job with this. Not only are they keeping old shows for the obvious reason of selling DVDs, but they recognize that they have to preserve their history, so that's now a goal they work on. they have a division and everything.
Anyway, this has entered the ramble zone. My point: Check out Rhys' stuff, and give them some dollars on patreon. And don't trust companies to keep your stuff. Keep it locally or make sure the internet archive has a copy.
