Comment on Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed

They’re editing entertainment history to begin with. Deletion is bad enough, but possibly even more nefarious is the blatant, unapologetically sneaky editing of existing media mentioned in this thread. Jussst a little bit at a time.
Adjust for today’s-sensibilities here, remove a now-naughty-word there…“oh, we don’t wanna pay for that song that released in 5 years before this 36 year old television program…better it never existed!”
Their goal seems to be relegating the Internet to simply being a flow of “What’s trending and making money NOW” and nothing else. Every byte has a dollar value.
They want generations growing up in a world where the corporate narrative is all that ever was and will be.
Today it’s talk shows and cartoons.
Tomorrow it’s biographies and documentaries. Family histories? Newspapers?
We need to stop this NOW.
Media conglomerates can’t even be relied on to be stewards of their own legacy. They’re coming for ours.

Fair. Can also cite all the Islamic iconography and sound removed from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
As for Star Wars, wasn’t that by Lucas’ whims? I’d say there’s a distinction between a creator editing his own work and say, Disney going “We lost the rights to John Williams, so we removed the score from the entire franchise.” Lol
