This reminds me, I have a lot of videos I've been collecting about the 
making of certain games (digital interviews on early "ezines", 
videotapes that came with products such as the WC3 filmcan and 7th 
guest, early promotional videos from Sierra that feature the 
programmers, etc.) and was wondering what the legal ramifications were 
to contribute them somewhere.  The historical significance is a given; 
it's the legal issues that have stopped me.  I thought of uploading them 
to archive.org but I don't feel their fair use rights (education, 
reference, etc.) would be as protected there as, for example, the SIG. 
Is this something the SIG could receive and host to the public?

With my experience doing restoration work on the MindCandy DVDs, I've 
gotten really good at making them presentable (even the 15fps 
sub-Youtube ones) so it's a project without a destination...
