Sony is striking Dailymotion again

[aaaa]

Wheel2018 got a ban of their Dailymotion account. They had current episodes of Jeopardy! and Days of our Lives on their account, so I suspect Sony's getting tough again

I'm not in favor of it necessarily, but it's one thing to ban current episodes from getting this kind of activity. Days for example relies on streaming methods on official platforms like their app and NBC's website to help generate revenue. It bothers me to no end when they do it though with classic episodes of their game shows and soap operas that never get rerun at all. I feel like unless a diginet like Retro TV, Decades (both of which seem likelier than others because they're each airing one classic soap), or one of the others (probably GetTV if it ever happened, since it's Sony owned) don't do this, we'll never get to see them officially.

I don't understand why they won't consider a streaming platform for current episodes of Jeopardy or Wheel. Maybe use a platform like Crackle for it, but have them be like a week behind or something, so television stations that they're syndicated on don't have to worry about losing much viewership.

Buzzr is more likely to air Sony game show reruns than Decades or Metv or RetoTV.

I wonder if anybody actually would write "the powers that be" in this situation and ask for permission to upload episodes.

I also discovered that animated Little Rascals episodes (which Hanna-Barbera and King World co-produced in the 1980s) that were on DM for five years, were taken down last spring. Episodes uploaded by MoreLostTreasures and Michael Pannoni used to exist, but not anymore. Could this be more an issue with CBS Television Distribution, who is also involved with Wheel of Fortune, and CBS Television Distribution purged everything they own?

Good thing I downloaded the episodes ages ago, and they are preserved in my digital collection.
