But how so? The only way it potentially makes sense is a Disney Vault like idea, but even then that only provides additional value for very old works that could be argued should be part of the public domain.

I can't think of a case where an artist would ban publication of their own work made within the last 20 years to make money, but please let me know of a potential case.

Artificial scarcity and charge high for the trickle of legal distributed works and content.

I'm asking for an example of an artistic work made in the past 20 years where that happens, where a work is pulled for an extended period of time.

What does the market currently do?
