Nintendo is suing the Zelda Leaker via Discord

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

Nintendo is suing a leaker via Discord because he just posted pictures of the Artbook (not the Game) of the new upcoming Zelda Game. Notendo all over again.
Full Story:

Someone using the name JustJulienOffic posted the leaked images on Reddit and then again on Discord as Julien#2743, which suggests that their real name probably is Julien and that they didn’t expect to be pursued by Nintendo.

To that end Nintendo has filed a DMCA subpoena that would force Discord to reveal who ‘Julien’ is, including their address, telephone number and email. So much for internet anonymity.

I hate Nintendo with a passion and so they do you

even all of this, you guys can use discord whatever you want. it's not my thing. but i personally recommend do not enter public server.

It has nothing to do with discord. ANY website will release that info upon request from the courts. There is no such thing as Internet anonymity... Every website knows your IP address that you are connecting from and your IP can be traced back to you.

It just requires a valid court order for the ISP's to release that info,

They can ip grab so yeah, not the best.

[sleeps]

i'd argue about privacy and anonymity. because it's not like your own isp openly leak your whole personal data to the public. i personally prefer a balance between convenience and "light" privacy. as too much privacy means sacrificing a lot of convenience

When you visit ANY site they know what IP address you have, its required to be able to access a site, they have to know it to send you data....

Its not remotely secret or confidential. The only thing that can't be gotten without a court order is who that IP address belonged to which the ISP is the only one who knows that.

All nintendo is doing is asking for the data on someone who committed a crime. Your rights to privacy are suspended when you break the law....

It's not about Discord the app itself ip grabbing but more like the server owners possibly having malicious intent or scammers are rampant, because they are actually not trustworthy but yeah it is no different than going on random websites.

I'm not surprised.

Nintendo is the same company that attacked Twitch streamers for playing their purchased copies of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, even though the game was out by that point and there was no law being broken.

They are also the same company that even now attacks YouTubers that discuss Pokemon, most of whom don't even show any copyrighted content, but instead are merely discussing it.
Apparently, that bloody First Amendment is overrode by Japanese law. So, I guess some greedy old Japanese company gets to control what you may or may not say, worldwide.

Heck, it's the company that says it's illegal (as bad as piracy) for a player to play a game with a self-imposed challenge (like a nuzlocke).

This is the same company that wants to make fanart illegal.

Lol. Nintendo hate hard on is still going strong. I'm still going to enjoy their games and systems. Have fun hating ya haters

Sure, throw your constitutional rights away.

SlowMango a écrit :

Discord is legally required to hand over the information regarding the leak.
If they don't, Discord becomes liable as well.

Yeah, we can thank a few semi-recent politicians for that.
Stripping away tech companies legal protections and rights.

Why should a company be able to harbor illegal activity?

That's the law that's being applied. It would be the exact same is someone was distributing CSAM or instructions to create illegal weapons.

Oh, and Nintendo didn't say that about Nuzlocke, a Pokemon lead said that.

You are wishing a bigger copyright bully to win over a common word.

That is not wise.

But greedtendo is clearly the bully here by suing someone over a few meaningless pictures. In my eyes, you’re an obnoxiously terrible person if you defend them.

Do you think insulting people who do not agree with you is going to win people over to your side? You're trying to shame people for not siding with thieves? Roflmao.

What illegal activity?
Twitch is perfectly legal, no matter how much Nintendo wants to make it otherwise.
The streamers were using their own, lawfully purchased game, and Nintendo decided that no, they get to decide the law.

And with YouTube, last time I checked, free speech is not owned by a greedy Japanese company.

"A pokemon lead said that", yeah, and Nintendo owns and produces it. Nor did they reprimand the guy for speaking wrong.
Hence, Nintendo said and backs the statement.
(Considering how much they like to make everything linear, and remove any and all speedrunning techniques for no reason, that sounds about right)

Stop defending corporate greed.

If he signed a DNC then he is screwed and I hope Nintendo takes everything he owns.

[Dominic]

Well here me out. He leaked something online that is not even out yet, and he somehow got a hold of it before it even releases.

I know it is a art book and all, but that is like putting game roms online of a unreleased or new game and thinking that is fine to do and it is not.
