Sure, and the amount of lost PBS footage alone due to draconian copyright restrictions borders on criminal.

The point isn't on the quality of the distribution method. Even if it was, preservation efforts for games that qualify for the concept of game ownership are far more advanced. The point is that when an entertainment industry gets this big, it takes the deaths of multiple generations for the market to dry up.
