Muppet clips on Henson's YouTube channel

I noticed that clips from The Muppet Show and The Muppet Movie were recently posted on the Jim Henson Company's YouTube channel, in addition to Sam & Friends' "Visual Thinking" sketch which features Kermit.

I wonder why they're doing that, since you would think that they'd have to get permission from Disney or something in order to post clips featuring the classic Muppets, since Henson doesn't own them anymore and because the Muppets are not going back to Henson anytime in the future.

I sure hope Henson doesn't buy them back, since Disney's on a roll with the Muppets and if Henson got them back, they would mis-manage them again for sure. :concern:

They're only posted because of Jim 75th birthday. They DID get permission from Disney to do it. And I'm pretty sure the JHC owns Sam and Friends, regardless of Kermit.
