What I’m wonder is how much money – either in syndication sales or in DVD sales – an old series like Yes, Minister is *really* making the company that owns it (I’d guess pretty close to zero at this point, Not zero, but close). Is that really more money than they’d make by licensing it to Netflix? Apparently it is:P.

But in any case, it’s not on Netflix anymore, and I’m too lazy to see if it’s legally available somewhere else online in Canada (almost certainly not, if my experience is anything to go by). But I’m still going to watch it in about 5 minutes, wink wink, nudge nudge.

Do you know what that means? Yup, that’s right. Yet more lost sales due to the fact that companies are too freaking lazy to bother figuring out a legal method to let me pay them for their content:P!

Oh… and even if iTunes Canada was up to snuff and had all of this stuff, I wouldn’t be paying 1.99 to stream a single episode of a show this old. I can almost see that being reasonable to purchase a lifetime license to view the content in question if it’s a brand new show (especially an expensive to make one), but for something 30+ years old? Pfffft, give me a break.
