> The lack of camaraderie among studios in the industry today makes it difficult for Muppet Babies to find a streaming platform home due to copyright royalties and trademark concerns.
Or in other words, they now have to follow the same rules as creators outside this clique and have to pay royalties if they want to use copyrighted material in their work.
EDIT: If you haven't read the article and think I'm being crass: the problem isn't that there are disputes over who holds the copyright. The problem is that the show liberally used live action clips that were in the public domain as well as live action clips that still aren't. And they only got away with it because at the times the people involved in the show were on good terms with the people involved with those movies. They could still release the show without those clips.
