Reply to comment by Jaedos in Paramount’s $1.5 Billion Write-Down Is the Bill for Peak TV Coming Due | Analysis by flowerhoney10

I mean if the creators are dead, sure, but the vast majority of these shows being buried and written off for tax purposes are very recent and the creatives are very much alive. They should get the shows back before they enter the public domain.

Shared license in that case. Unless the creator wants to buy back the rights. Creator gets the primary commercial rights, but the public still has derivative rights. Seems like a good middle ground where tax payer money is involved.
