  • I’ve watched a true crime doc that had some re-enactment (well not of a crime) filler, if that makes sense. Like actor who stands outside a house. Anyways they showed a car navigation system and my city was listed for a list of supposed places this person had visited. It seemed to have been generated at random. No evidence they had actually been to my city.

    Hopefully this made sense. It was American Nightmare on Netflix.













  • That was a case where the seller literally didn’t have the rights to the book. If you search for the title today you’ll find a version that is listed as the Authorized Orwell Edition.

    Not the same as what I was referring to. Video games based on licensed IPs, often get taken down from digital game stores because the publisher’s license has ended. What you described with 1984 is someone who shouldn’t be selling the media, having sold it. Sure, it sucks if the title disappeared from your device but maybe that was the only legal resolution?
