Classic games trading

There should be a happy medium: e.g. post clips for all to see, but keep the full games offline, reserved for the truly serious fans/collectors/historians to fully appreciate. That makes much more sense to me.

Absolutely understand this position and not trying to move you off of it, but I do think this is self-filtering regardless of availability. I think the type of fan who's willing to invest the time to watch all of the goals from a particular game from 1994, and one who wants to watch that game for 3 hours and see every icing call, are two different animals. I just don't see the type of person who'd watch such a thing and not appreciate what's in front of them.

That, too, would be "technically illegal", wouldn't it?

A Fair Use exemption is a lot more justifiable with clips especially if the editing itself shows a degree of creativity/originality, rather than broadcasting or distributing the bulk of the copyright material

Sorry, I meant the part about sharing them all privately among selected individuals, not the clips on YouTube part.

What about Patreon or the like? We don't have to use YT if we're trying to stay low, putting these things on the most popular site video sharing site in the world is avoidable...

Old movies (and new movies) can be readily found on torrent websites. No reason you can't upload hockey games too.

Digitizing tapes is a pain in the ass. I paid $250 last year to digitize home movies. But the equipment to do it myself is considerably more expensive.

Hockey torrents are almost always dead.

Off the top of my head, I think I posted some hockey content that would normally get copyright striked off of youtube on bitchute a few years ago with no problem.

Possibly Dailymotion as well? Being hosted in the EU usually precludes a lot of teh DMCA-driven nonsense on north american sites.
