Digital releases are a whole different ballgame with licensors.
That's for sure. LLL doesn't get a say in the download versions, and they don't get any money if I heard right.
All but two of the 15 TOS albums are available for download purchase, if I recall. It's at the iTunes store, Amazon downloads, and apparently you can hear it on Spotify. Similar situation with the Lost in Space box. But it's better with the booklets you get in the actual box sets.
That was three years ago. Now the STAR TREK box is long gone from the iTunes store and Amazon Digital. I wish I knew why. The 12-disc LOST IN SPACE set is still available. Its rights have a different owner, but you'd think the two would be comparable in the marketplace.
The situation for STAR TREK music now is right where it was for decades: you can buy the five vintage GNP albums, and the four Royal Philharmonic albums, but not the LLL set. It's like a classic Disney movie that went back into the studio vault to keep it scarce. But unlike Disney, I don't think there's a marketing strategy going on here, it's more likely CBS doesn't care.

And that's what I call a better-worded argument. Star Wars and Star Trek are different franchises. TOS and TNG are not.
You're right.
"Star Trek" is the franchise. The Original Series, TNG, the Bad Robot movies, etc. are different series within the franchise. Some fans like them all. Others like only some.

So were Andy Griffith Show, Mayberry RFD, and Gomer Pyle all the same franchise? This is critical to our understanding of my "argument," not to mention the universe.
Another crossover universe: The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, and Petticoat Junction. I can only stand the first one.

Don’t forget The Andy Griffith Show itself was a spin-off!

Mayberry RFD was actually just the name of the show after Andy and Opie left town. Everyone else stayed on. It wasn't really a "new" series, just kind of an adjustment. You couldn't call it The Andy Griffith Show if Andy Griffith left. Gomer Pyle is more a simple spin off where the character spun back ON when Gomer was cancelled. Like Enos and The Dukes of Hazzard.
However, Green Acres, Petticoat Junction and The Beverly Hillbillies are related but not part of "The Beverly Hillbillies Franchise." Any more than Laverne and Shirley / Mork & Mindy are part of "the Happy Days Franchise." Or The Jeffersons, Maude and Good Times are part of an "All in the Family Franchise." They're just spin off which can and did exist independently.
Star Trek has a common theme: each show and movie concerns the United Federation of Planets and/or Starfleet personnel. They're all made under the "Star Trek" banner and brand. Same with Star Wars.

I patiently await the next installment from the Hooterville Televised Universe (HTU)... or the 'Hooterverse,' if you will.
