Since there wouldn’t be any cost associated with getting rights for streaming, why can’t I boot up Nosferatu on whatever platform I happen to be on? To me it seems like the cheapest, easiest thing to do to upload a collection of the most famous public domain movies as a matter of course when setting up a streamer. Is there a specific reason why it mostly isn’t done?
In: Economics
I suspect a great deal of the old material will never be provided by today’s distributors and streamers because they employ racial/ethnic/gender stereotypes that are in conflict with most people’s current views. There would be rioting in the streets if somebody streamed *Birth of a Nation.*
