Whoops. Copyright is killing the use of uncopyrighted works

When something no loner works, you need to fix it

So fans of Jack Benny discovered that CBS has old tapes of the late comedian that were thought to be destroyed/lost. But because modern copyright is such a cluster fuck, even though the tapes are public domain, it will cost CBS so much in lawyer fees associated with copyright that they feel it isn't worth it. CBS is permanently locking away lost Jack Benny tapes because copyright has failed.
