you must be young, the recent extensions of copyright only apply to newer shows. plenty of older TV shows either didn't get the copyright renewed, and there are even quite a few where renewal was done improperly...so they fell into public domain.
I'd be interested who is still watching broadcast TV via radio waves, vs. who is getting those same shows through cable providers. Then there are those who watch pirated or pass-out-of-copyright versions of the same material on youtube, netflix, etc.
nope, never saw these audits before 5 years ago in the many clients I've worked in medium sized businesses, they're a recent thing. hard to move off of oracle, but my present employer is pushing for that after nearly two year long audit where oracle kept trying to find ways to screw them over...but finally lost interest. wasted incredible amounts of time and money of course.
yes, I'm equating fossil fuel use with improved health and the plummeting percentage of the world's population that live in extreme poverty over the last 50 years. Absolutely a fact, contrary to lies you've been fed.
oh, people thought exhaust fumes and smokestack some were healthy in the past? pffft, no they knew it was pollution. we used the stuff anyway, because the good outweighs the bad. most here would not exist or would have died horrible painful death were it not for fossil fuel use.
our family had the robotic lawn mower in early 1970s, it was biotech and mass produced by unskilled labor. The test tube used to make them wasn't sterilized but it was circumcised.
the job openings needing filled right now contradict what you say. Let's say too few are willing to study useful skills, it's hard. Easier to whine and take handouts.
No, all plaintiffs benefited far far more from fossil fuel use than any possible downside. Longer life, healthier life, prosperity, amazing materials (metals, plastics, etc.)...all due to burning hydrocarbons.
It's like suing the surgeon that saved your life because he left a scar. Fossil fuel use saved humanity.
Now, I'll agree the stuff pollutes and we have better alternatives now that we should accelerate adoption, our sun puts out enough energy to power a thousands civilizations, only counting what hits earth.
but blaming or suing the mongers of the fuel that got us to this point? Stupidity.
Yes, I am boomer too and watched the moon landing, on vaccuum tube tv, though solid state ones existed that's not what most people had (and those little Japanese ones from the 1950s were hybrid and had some tubes.)
The explosion in microwave oven market was through the 1970s to 1982 (in 1971 on 1% of USA houses had them, but by 1982 most did), even though huge ones existed in ww ii. Yes, the boomers born in 1946 and onward made those.

My first thoughts were "Alphabet?...what does Alphabet do...." Didn't even remember that stupid name from google restructuring at first....

FDA once in a while does its job, amazing
nonsense, if the buildings are there they are paying taxes
miners can be made to switch to on-site power generation at peak times for instance, this is done already in manufacturing areas.
I worked in power management, this is just case of poor management and ignorance of people like you.
again, problem is bad management who can't take advantage of opportunity for money

how large is "large"? we still have 24" walking sticks and foot-wide butterflies and 7" titan beetles. wasn't the largest ever with two foot wingspan?
Yes, and it's also been called "the dark side", dark as in unknown. Language is defined by use.

the population of the planet doubled in my lifetime, seems fossil fuel use great for children
eh, they're paying money, the power companies are badly managed if they can't deal with high demand customer that's willing to pay.
they're paying for their electricity, what's the problem?
similar thing for touch tone phones, they were tried in some towns in the early 1960s but the explosion was in 1980s when almost all homes had them.
how about those poor canadians, the line item for "touch tone fee" finally removed in 2015, bwhaha.

Not just "field values" but executable code!
so what, not hard to steer or stop a car when the power system fails unless a person is a totally out of shape pansy.
jeez, I've had to do without power steering twice, and went a whole day before repair. Could drive parallel parked, etc. with no problem.
eat less and exercise!
eh, there are still employers with pensions. and you waited until 31 to save in 401K? whose fault is that, not the boomers

the mass production of all transistors and lasers and microwave ovens as consumer items was done by baby boomers.
Actual making of components of rockets that went to moon, probes to Mars, and etc. done by boomers

bullshit, tens of thousands of deaths due to drug cartels in mexico alone.
wrong, the big drug sellers that move millions do kill others. the drug cartels in mexico have body count in tens of thousands.
the "victimless" part of drug trafficking is the local hippie rolling up the J, but not the people shipping in bales, they're dangerous
bitcoin is not currency, is not money. game tokens. and quite illiquid these days too, one of many definitions of money that it doesn't adhere to.
dollars though fiat are money.
