What seems particularly evil to me is the effect it has on resumes of the actors, artists, musicians, etc. – they now have nothing concrete to point to for an entire block of their careers, if they can’t point to a finished product.
And the point about destroying series just to deny workers their union residuals… wow.
Well, if I had any urges to watch recent movies or TV, I sure don’t now. F these money-grubbing vampires. Most of the writing is now so formulaic and tepid anyhow…

If the public is going to pay them for a product via tax write offs, a condition should be the final product being entered into public domain. It wouldn’t be hard to alter the law to allow for protections of individual ip elements while giving up rights to the product itself.
Quite frankly, I think if for any other reason to prove it exists. Is there a Coyote v Acme movie, or did you pay a few actors for a day to shoot a few scenes to pretend there is?
