Re: [ARSCLIST] Reels of spaceflight broadcasts.
The first issue here is Copyright. You can certainly 'listen' to them but can
not use them for anything. The 'owner' of these recordings is the broadcasting
station/TV/radio/NASA who produced them, and as they were possibly recorded off
the TV then they are copies.
The second issue for me is trusting what is written on the box - it may not
actually tally up with what is on the recording. If it does, then the person
who recorded them did a good job!
