The film is unlikely to remain in the public domain for very long.
On the evening of July 30, the “premiere” of the film “Deadpool and Wolverine” took place on YouTube. A pirated copy of the film was posted by the Utopicamente channel, judging by the quality, we are talking about a very good quality screen copy.
And here’s another story
The full version of Deadpool and Wolverine has been uploaded to YouTube in 720p resolution. The pirated copy is just under two hours long: it includes the entire film, but no post-credits scenes.
It is difficult to say how exactly YouTube’s anti-piracy protection algorithms were bypassed. At the end of July, the editorial staff of TorrentFreak celebratedthat pirates have found some trick that allows them to bypass protection and massively upload popular films to YouTube; apparently, something similar happened with Deadpool and Wolverine.
The pirated copy of the film has already managed to gain almost 100 thousand views. It can be assumed that Disney and Marvel lawyers will remove it manually in the near future.
