He paid for admission for him to see the event, not broadcast it, however poor the video quality.
The PPV crew, on the other hand, had permission (and probably paid in some way, far more than a G.A. ticket) to shoot a professional broadcast.

I fully support any entity protecting their intellectual property. From a racing standpoint, every track should strive to have some sort of video in place to record the night's action. Case in point.... if it weren't for cell phone footage, how would we know the circumstances behind Bryan Clauson's accident or the Kevin Ward/Tony Stewart incident. It would have been nice if Belleville and Canandagua had video footage of these examples, not to continually show the carnage, but to help the experts decide what could have been done to prevent such tragedies.

In the case of the Bryan Clauson incident at Belleville there is most definitely video other than a wannabe cameraman/woman with a cellular phone. I personally was watching the PPV internet broadcast of the 2016 Belleville Midget Nationals and the whole crash was shown live as it happened but has
never been shown again.
Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
