Barefoot_Monkey: I meant that with regard to studio's which have closed down. People would gladly buy games from Black Isle, Westwood, Bullfrog, Troika, Looking Glass, Ion Storm Austin, Origin, and so on. What happens with those sales? I suppose it would depend on the terms of whatever contract exists between the developer and the publisher.
Does anyone know what usually happens when a dev house bites the dust? If I were, for example, to buy Fallout from here, naturally GOG and Interplay would each get their share, but who would Interplay pay?

As mentioned, the rights usually go to someone -- they're auctioned off, they move on with the people who formed those companies... whatever happens happens, and we have to figure that out, see who holds the rights, and try to get them.
