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

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.

The money doesn’t just stop dead when a show goes off the air.

They will want to sell box sets of dvds of the show. Maybe they want to sell the rights to stream it through any of the various services. They could sell the rights to distribute it in other regions. Reruns in the future are possible.

All of that tends to fall apart if it is freely available online.
