You can get a copy on the Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/cnc-red-alert). I don't believe that this is copyright infringement. I think that we're just that old.

I can assure you, we are not that old. For works created in 1978 or later (which is the case for these) work-for-hire pieces like this get 95 years of copyright protection:

So we are solidly inside the copyright window.

The entire player base will literally die from old age before the copyright expires.

Sounds reasonable.
