I haven't worked for Sony Pictures since 2005, but I think that the suggestions of some sort of nefarious marketing plan and the expected safeguards against accidental content distribution are hilarious.
I can absolutely believe that this happened accidentally.
Films and trailers are uploaded rarely, and it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to discover that it's still a manual process.
- tunap 8y agoIf it is still a manual process, wouldn't the PEBKAC be more likely to notice the extended upload time? The difference in size between a 2 min & a 90+ min file upload would be considerable.
- WiseWeasel 8y agoI'd imagine the process goes something like: hit upload, go to lunch.

- wingworks 8y agoYes, if you were planning to upload the whole movie, but if you plan to upload a 2min trailer, you're not expecting it to take very long, likely only a minute or two. Unless Sony has considerably slower internet then I imagine.

- flycaliguy 8y agoI’m not convinced there is somebody with the job of watching individual progress bars. I bet these things are done in batches and a large file wouldn’t really stand out.
