Legacy video-on-demand systems (the sort your cable box can access) get full copies of movies with no DRM that could easily be uploaded to YouTube. They're often sent as part of a package that includes a preview (the trailer), a poster image, and metadata.
It wouldn't be hard, given one of these packages, to put the wrong file in.

- madeofpalk 8y agoI used to work at for a TV media company, working on catch up / video on demand. I can believe this happening - maybe someone uploaded it as they went to lunch, or just shrugged and though "this is taking a bit longer today. oh well". Hell, I've made mistakes which any sort of critical thinking should have prevented.
