Overview
- Singapore police traced the leak after an April 16 report about pirated clips, arrested a 26-year-old within a day, and seized devices holding a copy of the film.
- Investigators say the suspect gained unauthorized remote access to a media server, downloaded the movie, and posted parts of it online.
- Paramount’s probe found no breach inside the studio, and animation partner Flying Bark said the leak did not come from its systems.
- Clips first appeared on X on April 12, and the full film spread across sites like 4chan by April 13 despite copyright takedowns.
- The movie remains set to stream on Paramount+ on October 9, 2026, as artists and cast urge fans not to watch or share pirated footage; the charge carries up to seven years in prison or a S$50,000 fine if convicted.
