If I recall correctly, Candian copyright law states that you can copyright a photo. However you cannot copyright an audio recording (though the speach/lyrics if written can be copyrighted). So I guess you'd be able to copyright the visual part of the video, but not the audio track (assuming no words/music was scripted, etc).
As for the video itself, it seems to have fallen off the face of the internet (or been well hidden). I don't think showing it for "gore factors" is appropriate, however I do feel that it is important to preserve this footage for educational purposes such as engineering, physics, etc. However since we obviously can't have it both ways, I support having the video available, assuming proper warning are put in place (shock sites would fall OUTSIDE this category!)
