Man behind ‘The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender’ leak ARRESTED; could face 7 years in prison and USD 50,000 fine A 26-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly leaking portions of the unreleased animated film ‘The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender’. According to a police statement issued on April 24, authorities received a report on April 16 regarding clips from an unreleased film circulating on social media platforms. The suspect was identified and apprehended within a day of the complaint, the Straits Times reports. Investigators leading the case about the leak, allege that the man gained unauthorised remote access to a media server, from which he downloaded the unreleased film and later went on to upload parts of the film on social media. As per the report, law enforcement officials confirmed that several electronic devices were seized during the arrest, and a copy of the unreleased film was recovered from the device. The suspect is currently under investigation. If convicted, he could face a maximum penalty of up to seven years in prison, a fine of up to USD 50,000, or both. Authorities have not disclosed further details and investigations are ongoing. As reported early this month, portions of the movie leaked online months ahead of its premiere on Paramount+. An anonymous X account claimed that a Nickelodeon employee emailed him the entire film. As per reports, the version of the film that was pirated was a high-quality file and not the usual low-grade camera-recorded versions. Paramount has conducted an investigation into the incident. As part of the ongoing probe, the company eliminated the possibility that the leak was caused by a vulnerability in its systems, stated a report on The Hollywood Reporter. Clips of the movie shared on social media platforms were taken down through its copyright takedown process. |
