The last movie I pirated was directed by a man who died almost 30 years ago. Do you suppose if I subscribed to Netflix (which doesn't even have any of his movies at all as far I can tell), they'd hire a necromancer to get a few more movies out of his corpse?

We don't hire necromancers anymore, they’ve been replaced by training models on a corpus anchored by the creator’s existing work.

You're probably right, and honestly the thought of this happening just makes me feel sad. That premise is just like the character Dixie Flatline in Neuromancer. Simply tragic.
