You can't force uploaders to preserve their footage if they don't want to, after all, it is their's. But if they want to, they'll have the option.

It seems like this would be the easiest, most workable solution.
Unless someone wants to go the extra mile and provide a means of letting teams easily gain access to all the analytics that they want, embedding and a backup database (firstvideoarchive?) for archiving purposes seems the way to go.
Now that I understand the situation a little more, I do agree that regardless of legality, there should be an etiquette established where if you want to use someone else's match footage:
- ask and comply with their requirements for using it
or
- embed
And hopefully we can put together a comprehensive archive that everyone is willing to put their content in it (for the sake of the community).
