Honestly, in such cases there should be a requirement that the movie becomes public domain. The taxpayers are paying for it (through lack of tax income), the studio cannot make money from it, actors that expected loyalties are royally screwed anyway, and those who expected promotion got the worse deal of all.

Even fit WB it would be a PR win. I don't see how they benefit from hoarding, if anything they look even worse.
