Sometimes I think the less actual money involved, the crazier and more petty people can get (see: community theater). Well, who knows; seeing as how there is really no way any sort of money could be made off of video of 20+ year old horse races, maybe the actual owners of the video rights will be easy going about making them available. It would be tedious to do, but maybe tacking on a thanks to the broadcast company or racetrack at the end of each video might be enough for them to okay the posting of them. The more fuss racing fans make, the more likely a chance to get posting of them really free and in the clear.
On the other hand, some other company may get interested enough to try to buy the rights and make a buck off of them, but that's capitalism in action so there's not much to do about it in that case.
