Did they give him back his rights because of the backlash or because they were legally obligated? Was always confused about this - lot's of musicians don't owe the rights to their music.. it's a part of their contract that they get a cut of the marketing, promo, distribution, sales, etc but the record labels themselves own the rights to the music from there on out

Im not an expert on the situation but I dont think they were under a legal obligation. Probably did it due to the backlash

It's already back on Netflix.

From what I understand it was just a really bad contract. You gotta realize it was signed before streaming was even a thing, so I imagine it gave them rights to that, while at the same time making it seem like he would always get paid.

And also everyone pulled it so they probably weren't making any money on it anyway and it turned into bureaucratic overhead.

This was probably Comedy Central extending an olive branch hoping they can work together in the future

Probably but Im sure Dave is done with them. Especially since he has such a good relationship with Netflix. Anything he does is going there.

Chappelle is known for 2 things. 1 he is a massive draw even after all these years. 2 if he doesnt like the situation he will not stick around.

They legally could have shown his stuff on Netflix and be perfectly in the right since he signed a contract. Netflix also knows he wont stick around even under contract if hes unhappy. So they lost some money buying the show and dropping it but kept Dave happy enough to make them more money down the road.

Netflix didn't own it. They bought broadcasting rights from Comedy Central. They weren't under obligation to take it down they did it because they thought it was the morally right thing to do. They probably still have the rights they bought. That stuff doesn't go away just because ownership of the contract changes.
