Why do companies copyright strike a show that they aren’t showing anymore.

Question

I wanted to wake a old tv show the other day, and there’s no way to get it on iTunes/ Netflix/DVD. And all the ones on YouTube and other sites have been copyright strikes.

They have to enforce their copyright every single time or it sets a legal precedent for others to steal their IP, and may end up effectively voiding their copyright if they don’t enforce it
