The only stuff I pirated it's some old episodes from Northern Exposure
and The Twilight Zone collection from the 50's. The last one should have
been under public domain long ago. 70 years of Copyright it's abusive.

I recently rewatched Blacksheep Squadron and The Six Million Dollar Man. I don't think either one could be made today. I do think they could do a reboot of Six Million Dollar Man (as "Bionic" or "Cyborg"), but Blacksheep just would be hard in today's sensibilities. Agreed on the excesses of Intelectual Property overall, not just Copyright.
