So someone could get your video, re-encode it in another format and
distribute it? The *content* isn't copyrighted after all.


That's sort of what has happened with the SR-71 Dash-1.  It was
classified, so it wasn't marked as being for official use only.  A
fellow got Dryden to give him a copy of the declassified version, by
saying he was working for one of the museums that received one.  He
slapped a fancy color cover onto it and sold it for about a hundred
bucks a copy.  He even copyrighted his cover, which was the only
original part of the document.

Someone subsequently put out a PDF version on the Web, which isn't
copyrighted at all.  There was absolutely no consequences, because the
PDF version used the public domain parts, not the copyrighted cover.

But isn't the problem that spaceflightnow is claiming copyright, not that they are selling it? No-one objects to their making a profit.
