Two options:
1. Offer to destroy the tapes in a manner decided by highest bidder(s). Perhaps the NFL would act if it knew that the recordings would be burned for possibly $5. This is the Mark Ecko approach [1].
2.There is a commercial on the recordings for True cigarettes, a brand that was owned by R.J. Reynolds. If they don't still own that trademark, could he sell the tapes for that commercial and apologize for the Super Bowl footage that the purchaser will have to deal with?
If he started a kickstarter for option 1, I bet a lot of people would pitch in a few dollars just to piss off Roger Goddell (NFL Commissioner).

- kenjackson 11y agoI agree that a lot of people would chip in for #1. Especially if he does prominently call out Goddell in the Kickstarter. Could he get more than $30,000? I'm not sure, but even if not, I feel like it would be worth it. I think option 2 is way too risky, and those who want the video will want the SB recording. Those people would still not have rights to air or show it.
- wyldfire 11y agoThe trademark holder has no leverage on recordings/copyright until/unless the recording were used in actual trade (marketing of products, etc).
