What are ‘the rights’ for video? Copyright and...?
Odd that they call out ‘orphan’ without referring to previous legal fights over orphan works.

It doesn't matter to most people. They just start watching new shows.

The author says that all but 1 of the Seeso shows have a new home, but only mentions a couple of them -- what about the UCB Sketch show? WHAT ABOUT HARMONQUEST?!

This is why it's essential that we support media pirates. They are the only ones doing the hard work to make sure these works are protected for future generations to enjoy.
Go out there, find a long forgotten show, game or album and torrent it now. Do your part to protect culture.

Saxon Kane: Harmonquest is on VRV.
I have no idea about UCB Sketch Show.
I also have no idea about the tons of stand up specials Seeso had.

Reminds me of a lot of bummers unmentioned here. Machinima produced a brief Sifl & Olly revival (eponysomething) and I still kinda blame Seeso for the MBMBAM show getting iced.

The UCB Sketch Show had some killer bits, my favorite being a monologue by Michael Caine about how he had become unstuck in time...

Of course, as the article notes, owning the rights to something is only useful if you also own a copy of it.
