Here comes the news that the latest Searchlight film, Andrew Haigh’s “All of Us Strangers,” will not be released on physical media. In recent years, there have been a handful of other titles given the same fate as ‘Strangers.’
This is how I picked up the Willow series (which I enjoyed but is now deleted from all of existence), the last couple seasons of Silicon Valley, etc.
Speaking of which, there should be a law that if a show is permanently removed in order to offset taxes, it should automatically become part of the public domain.
I’ve noticed that if you want a physical release of a streaming show, Etsy has you covered. Quite pricey though and obviously illegal.
Oh there’s plenty of,. apparently, Chinese sellers on eBay who will hook you up too.

It’s a good point - at that point the public purse has basically paid for it, after all.
