It's funny in a sad sorta way.  I used to collect Old Time Radio
programs.  Of course it was nostalgia for me because I grew up
before TV and spent a lot of time listening to these programs
on an old Philco radio (Yes, I still have it but like most old
electronics I need to re-cap it yet again.)

I have a recording somewhere of an interview with Jack Benny
where he stated that none of this stuff was ever copyrighted
and seldom preserved because when they made it they didn't see
it having any lasting value.  Sadly, it seems that the same
has been applied to computer programming.
