Oh, this is quite a common sight on Twitter/X now. I think I recall the Super Mario Galaxy Movie was leaked on the site before this, and that Avatar the Last Airbender movie ended up there too.

It's because for the most part, there's not really any automated moderation on the site, and the folks running it don't really care too much about copyright or IP laws. Add this to a really generous video upload limit for paid accounts, and people are just sticking whole movies and playthroughs on the platform.

Sibling comment "It got taken down so obviously they handle DMCA like any other platform." Is in fact right. Not sure why I cant vouch for it or upvote.

Regardless, the DMCA is made so the copyright holder polices' their own copyright.

Just because X chooses to follow what Twitter faught for, which is following the law, not some extra agreements of upload filters, which ironically stifle potential fair use, like youtube, or causes un required licencing agreements due to litigation threat, parent seems to confelate that as in injustice, when in fact its backwards, they dont actually know if its the right's holder who uploaded it first untill they get a take down notice.

I thought it would have breached the character limit?

Twitter limits for video lengths are insane, at least for paid accounts. Apparently you can just casually upload a 4 hour video now, which is how so many films have been leaked here.

Was it a cam or a legit leak?

It was a high-quality bootleg video shot within a cinema

Cam, then.
