As others have said this article is poorly written with the person interviewed saying he was misquoted so nothing in it can be taken as true. However, there have been very strong rumors for years that 2-3 episodes known to be in the hands of collectors (I believe it was said in a recorded interview with the Radio Free Skaro podcast by someone involved in Classic Who bluray releases) While some people may be worried a…

Because someone else might want to remember

I very well might. My parents watched Doctor Who religiously in their 20s/30s, and I watched some of it in syndication with them when I was a kid. I never got into the 21st century version of it, though. But being able to watch the old stuff would be a connection back to my parents that I would love to have.

It’s not clear to me why we should have a hard and fast statute of limitations for that reason instead of simply factoring it in when deciding whether the prosecution has proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
In adversarial systems, the prosecution's objective isn't to reach a truth, but instead to fight to convict you. This incentivises dirty tricks, misrepresentation of facts, and ultimately the full force of state resources looking at putting you behind bars. And during this whole process you are often locked up anyways for this process, independent of actual guilt. In that model and imbalance of resources, having stat…
Are there any examples of a country with a non-adversarial Justice model?

#104Just another example of copyright law being garbage.

Is that unusual among all the countries of the world? Or is the US unusual for having a statute of limitations?
Most countries have statues of limitations for criminal offenses. It makes sense - imagine trying to defend yourself against an case where the police has been sitting on evidence for 50 years, and anyone you could call in your defense is long-dead.
It also allows the police to throw stuff out. If you want to prosecute, you need the evidence, but keeping evidence forever means litteral warehouses of evidence. It gets expensive quickly.

Inquisitorial systems (more present in civil law systems big also present in some US courts) have the judge act as a fact finder. In that model the judge is basically an active participant in figuring out what happens, instead of just being a referee in between two parties. So the judge (a professional whose job it is to do this) is more of an active participant and a determiner of guilt rather than 12 randos off the street (modulo a bunch of stuff). This leads to things like guilty plea bargains not being as much of a thing if the judge doesn’t believe the confession.
Source: I read the Wikipedia article on inquisitorial systems and watch tv. So I don’t know what I’m talking about but it sounds nice (also aligns with what I’ve heard about French court procedure) I think this covers Japan too (anyone who plays phoenix wright might wonder: why is the judge just declaring a result?)

I don't know why, but my knee-jerk reaction is that this is the worst use of the material. Why is that? Anyone else with that opinion able to put into words the reason? Because I'm not really sure why I think that, but I do.
No clue what your problem is with it.
Old material always has some use an we do live in a timeless time now.
Reusing the lid and getting inspired by it is part of humans creativity
