Tom;

As a business, you then need to balance the additional revenue over the cost
of putting the new content into the essence streams, then the cost of new
prints.

The fact is that you need a new copyright, also, if you add content.  Not if
you subtract content.  Subtracting a box of Post Toasties in a
breakfast-table scene because the advertising contract expired just won't
happen.  Remember, many marquee directors get final cut of their product.
They'd have to be rehired to put in a new spot.

Talk about workflow ...

It adds marketing options.  One advertiser may only want to have a
dated product placement with a short shelf life and you can now sell
that cheaper, knowing you can sell something completely different on
the reruns or the DVD.
