That's my thought.  Capture the whole thing,, spread it around as widely and discreetly as possible, and then there's no way to shut it down.  Releasing it piecemeal on as high profile a site as FB invites legal troubles.  If they can get deleted scenes removed from YouTube, why wouldn't they be able to do the same with this project?  I could be wrong and don't necessarily understand the legal loopholes like the Freedom of Information Act, but it just seems to be inviting trouble, and this is such a precious and rare resource, I'd hate for the control freaks to put an end to this amazing find.

I agree.

Whether the sharing of these clips is technically legal or not hardly matters. Corporations file false copyright claims on the layman quite frequently, and with success. 

Disney has functionally infinite money for lawyers in court. None of us do.
