umh...
For me anything that has been diffused on TV (series or movies) and the radio (songs) should be in the public domain. I mean if not why then sale audio tapes and VHS tapes along with audio recorders and VCRs? Is it a crime to record a movie on TV? In the era of HDTV and digital diffusion, the quality benefits of buying over recording are highly diminished.
Of course the company should retain the exclusive rights for sale of printed copies but you'd pay the service, not the entertainment. Songs and movies should earn the bulk of their income from concerts/theater and Radio/tv rights.
Video games are an other story as they are never diffused against a commercial payment (radio or TV), therefore there is no justification for which they should be free... unless one considers that the sale of a 15 year old game to anything more than 1$ for a symbolic payment is a ripoff...(remakes excluded as there is additional work put in those).
