I used to have an online Old Time Radio Station and I played episodes of The Shadow. One day I got a Cease and Desist letter from Conde Nast. I had to remove all the Shadow programs from my station.
I’m amazed that there are sites out there that allow it to be streamed. Maybe somebody challenged their copyright and Conde Nast took it to court and lost. I don’t know. These shows were already in the public domain when Conde Nast asserted copyright ownership.
The Shadow was a good one. Especially with Orson Wells.
Cease and desist? Ye gads. CN isn’t doing anything with the property; step aside, and let the good times roll..again.
