Copyright aside, its 'unlikely' that you will be pursude legally by a defunct
company or by the current mold owner who isn't doing anything with the molds.

The same sort of grey area surrounds out of print rules and such, if you were
to OCR such a rule set, it is 'unlikely' you would be pursued legally
especially if you keep a low profile and don't try to profit from it.

For example the old FASA TCS rules are now available as a PDF file.

Most of us don't think twice about taping a TV show or CD for our own use,
though the 'law' may say its a copyright infringement and no different in its
eyes from copying computer programs, miniature or rules.
