Does anyone know where I can see some actual footage of Siegel & Shuster? Ideally the 1975 CBS evening news where Walter Cronkite covered their struggle to regain copyrights.

I doubt it is on the Internet. However, you can get a copy of the video from an archive. First, try to find out the date of the broadcast. Then, you can request a copy from:

1) a CBS station that may have a copy of that night's broadcast

2) a university. There are some colleges that have been recording the evening news every night for years.
