The film was almost certainly uploaded via Prime Video Direct, a function that allows content creators to upload their projects directly to Prime Video, giving them access to a wide platform of people. It’s much like the way YouTube allows anyone to upload videos to its platforms. However, like YouTube, you’re obviously not supposed to upload copyrighted material. Before adding any videos, uploaders must first accept the license agreement, which states that, “You hereby represent and warrant that (i) you have the sole, full and unencumbered right to grant to Amazon and its Affiliates, and have obtained all necessary clearances and releases to grant to Amazon and its Affiliates,” and a bunch of other legal jargon that essentially boils down to “don’t upload copyrighted material.”

But, apparently, Amazon hasn’t yet caught on that In the Tall Grass is indeed copyrighted material. The user who uploaded the video listed their name as “Laysla De Oliveira,” which is the name of the lead actor in the movie. (We highly doubt Oliveira did this, of course.) The user also made some fake art for the thumbnail of the video, and copy and pasted the official logline from IMDB.
