public TV channel sues Iron Mountain data center, which hosts archival materials, to ensure preservation

Ahhh yes suing the business that's gone bankrupt I'm sure that always works.

    Iron Mountain did not go bankrupt, a middleman company called OSS did. Iron Mountain had a contract with OSS to store the data, and can't release it to anyone else without a court order. Nine PBS is suing Iron Mountain to get that court order so they can legally retrieve their data.
