We live in a media saturated world where new media is constantly coming into fruition constantly. People will have plenty to choose from. The world isn't being robbed of anything special. It is natural to die and be forgotten.
Yes, things go away, but the world would lose something special.
"Hey, Johnny, check out this cool thing I like" is a lot different from trying to force upon new generations a favorite fiction through privatized advertising campaigns like these sort of threads so often leap to advocating. Dragon Ball doesn't have to live on in the hearts of some massive new children's market to be special to someone. One person can keep loving Dragon Ball all by himself, even if nobody else even knows what it is.
I don't know what privatized has to do with this issue.
The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.
