The hypothesis I've heard is that Disney fears people will find the original Tron dated and campy. This might in turn make people less interested in Tron Legacy. It seems Disney will rather lose some DVD sales for the original than risk lower ticket sales for the sequel.

In that case you would think they'd tell YouTube to take down all of the clips from the original Tron.

The thing that makes me doubt this is that Tron Legacy isn't a reboot, it's a full blown sequel.
