    There should be a rule if this isn’t put out for the public then it doesn’t exist therefore no extension

      There is. I mean it’s not a law but most contracts that provide rights extensions when exercised usually require that the thing is actually released.

      The TVTropes page on Ashcan Copies is a good read if you’re interested.
