I hadn't thought about this from the creators' perspective.<p>I'd have a super hard time being passionate about something if I had any suspicion that an HBO exec could arbitrarily memoryhole my entire works in an afternoon meeting.<p>I've seen this with some music too. I observed two different artists get completely erased from the goddamn internet. I still have the ghost in my Spotify playlist, but not a single trace on google, YouTube, etc. I can <i>remember</i> what their music sounds like, but I did not have the foresight to rip it out of Spotify. Absolutely gone without a trace. I'm sure whoever created those tracks was hoping for this outcome...
