"We worked on the movie for years with the expectation [that] we'd get to celebrate all of our hard work in theaters.. just to see people unceremoniously leak the film and pass our shots around on Twitter like candy."
"I don't like seeing people use Paramount's awful decision to remove the movie from theaters to justify leaking it. I totally understand folks not wanting to pay for/support paramount+, but pirating the movie after its release would have at least respected our work."
A 26-year-old man in Singapore was arrested for hacking into a Paramount server and leaking the film Avatar: Aang, The Last Airbender. He gained unauthorized access to download and distribute the film online. Local laws impose a maximum penalty of seven years in prison and fines up to $50,000 for such offenses. The film was initially set for theatrical release but was moved to Paramount+. Animators expressed disappointment over the leak, emphasizing the importance of celebrating their work in theaters rather than through unauthorized distribution.
