As a lot of it is long out of print, the copyright holders may let it 
go for a song if the proper forms are followed. Remember back when 
you couldn't even rent an episode of Star Trek to show to a film 
class? Now you can buy them all for $5 apiece at the pawn shop on 
VHS. Technology changes things. Of course, they made MONEY off of 
that...
