it’s all the more frustrating when you see a company dedicating resources to shutting them down.

Yes, definitely sucks when they do that. I struggle to understand why unless there's some legal reason to protect all of your intellectual property instead of just the stuff that's still making money.

I mean some of them claim that if they don't do that they'll lose the copyright, but I looked it up a bit ago and there doesn't appear to be any evidence that that is the case, so make of that what you will. ~Strawberry
