The Super Mario Bros. Movie is the biggest film in the world right now, having just crossed $1 billion at the global box office. But for a few days, you could watch the adventures of Mario (voiced by Chris Pratt) and Luigi (voiced by Charlie Day) right from the comfort of your Twitter account.
As first reported by The Verge, the entire Super Mario Bros. Movie keeps being uploaded to Twitter. One version of the video was uploaded on April 28. Two days and over 9 million views later, Twitter removed the video due to copyright and suspended the user's account.
However, the upload of The Super Mario Bros. Movie adds another wrinkle to Twitter's copyright woes. Longer Twitter videos are one of the perks of subscribing to Twitter Blue. Starting in December of 2022, subscribers became able to upload videos up to 60 minutes long on the Twitter website, or videos up to 10 minutes long on iOS and Android.
Instead of being uploaded in two-minute long chunks, The Super Mario Bros. Movie was posted in two parts: one being precisely an hour long, and the other lasting the remaining half hour. According to The Verge's report, Avatar: The Way of Water — a three-hour-long movie! — was also uploaded to Twitter in a similar fashion.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is far from the first film to be uploaded to Twitter. In November 2022, movies like The Fast and the Furious: Toyko Drift, Hackers, and Avatar were all posted to Twitter two minutes at a time, resulting in long threads where you could watch the movies in full. Despite being clear violations of Twitter's copyright policy, the movies were left up for enough time for the threads to go viral. The same is true for copies of The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
In all these cases, the extended time between upload and account suspension likely has to do with Twitter's majorly decreased workforce, courtesy of layoffs from Elon Musk and resignations. Because that kind of piracy risk is exactly the kind of problem you want to invite when working with a skeleton crew.

Watched it last night 🤣
ReplyDeleteLol tiktok did it aswell 😛 I even watched it on tiktok
ReplyDelete☺️🔥
ReplyDeleteGood
ReplyDeleteMad at the movies success despite their “boycott” 😂
ReplyDeleteFor that, Nintendo's gonna take 20% of their family earnings for 10 generations
ReplyDeleteLike I said, no one thinks piracy is a serious crime😂
ReplyDeleteyou must not know many creators especially ones who do things by hand themselves over hundreds of hours.
Deletetheir work gets pirated all the time. Is anyone doing anything to prevent and stop people distributing their work illegally? Far from it. I've seen people encourage the distribution of intellectual property at dirt cheap prices. Those creators go broke and eventually give up because they aren't taken seriously.
DeleteThe problem is that when pirates would post this stuff to Twitter before, they has a team of moderators to spot and remove the pirated material before it went viral and viewed thousands of times.
Deletedepends on if they hired lawyers or have contacted the police or the centers of the illegal distribution. Other people don't care about protecting YOU work unless their is a very good reason too, like it literally being their job. It comes down to who is actually willing to put in the effort to follow the law or if they get something out of it [i.e lawyer fees].
DeleteWe’ll I’m going on twitter
ReplyDeleteNot like Twitter has the staff to remove it quickly… or cares
ReplyDeletethe fact that you thought actual staff went around Twitter removing things is hilarious. You probably think when you open webpage it has to be approved by someone first before you see it 🤣
Delete“not like Twitter has the staff to maintain the software that would prevent this?”
DeleteThat better? Goodness me.
Pretty sure it was handled swiftly and its no longer up. Nice try tho
Deletewhy do losers like you have to try and start an argument online? Go out and find friends in real life. This is pathetic.
