Video
NBC does not have permission to sell the video now or ever (!!) according to the person I spoke with at (800) 420-2626. The copyright is so strict that the show will NEVER become available to the public for sale.
However, demand is so high they MIGHT air a repeat of last night's show this summer. I would guess that the more people demand a repeat of the episode, the more chance they will repeat it soon. I would also guess that constant requests to purchase the video will pressure NBC to somehow obtain the rights to sell it, as it sells videos of other episodes.
I missed DATELINE due to circumstances beyond my control, and thankfully can read the hour-long transcript when it arrives in my mailbox.
Who is responsible for preventing NBC from ever selling the video to last night's DATELINE, if the person I spoke with was correct in stating they do not have rights to ever sell it? IF ONLY I HAD TAPED IT! :(
Hard to believe they have essentially created a possible "black market" for this episode, if bootlegged copies get out on the web! (SIGH) Sad considering the lives at stake.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
