How do you purchase the rights to cartoonshows and televison shows?

Is it possible to buy the rights to old cartoon shows and and televison shows? And whom do you contact about it? I dont have any cartoons or shows in mind in particular just wondering.

1. nope not possible Why anyways... [EDIT 23RDMAY2008] Well, It would be expensive. You could use it for non-commerical use but not otherwise unless you purchase expensive liscences for commercial use, it depends on your use [/EDIT]
2. I reckon it is possible. Somebody owns the rights to all media related products, I´m sure somebody owns these and everything in out materialistic world has a price. Whether it is realistic is a completely different matter. If you are talking about Disney or Hannah Barbera (sorry I don´t know how to spell it), then I reckon you have no chance. They are not in the industry of selling some of their prized goods, no matter how much you offered. I think maybe some companies just do not sell for nostalgia, or whatever reasons. If you are talking about the BBC, again being government supported, I think money is not an object so you will have no chance. Companies have spent a lot of hard work making these shows, I don´t think they would like to see royalties going to somebody else. If it is Remotesville Super Independent Media then you might stand a chance. Again if you pay enough, the smaller company may bend. I don´t know the law of copywriting either, and have probably just wasted 5 minutes of you time. But I think it is possible, just not likely.
