I wonder what other options are available. The NFL owns the content of the tapes, but Haupt owns the only known copies of that content. Haupt and the NFL are collectively the owners of the 1st Super Bowl, but can't agree on what to do with it.
The loss or destruction of the tapes won't meaningfully impact the NFL. They didn't have a copy of the work beforehand, and so nothing changes if they don't come to an agreement. On the other hand, a special viewing of the "lost copy of Super Bowl I" could be very lucrative to the NFL and the airing network. Haupt has something valuable to the NFL. There is obviously an incentive for the NFL to make a deal.
What would the ramifications of submitting the tapes to a museum or other historical archive be? It might incentivize the NFL to make a deal if they know there is another legitimate course of action that Haupt can take to make the copy less rare. I'm not sure what the legal implications are.
