As laid out under US copyright law in <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/17\/512\">Section 512(h)<\/a>, a DMCA subpoena requires that a provider \u2014 for example, a sales website or a social media platform \u2014 must disclose the details of the infringer.<\/p>\n<p>Nintendo has been aware of the leak for a while, it seems, as the company initially sent a DMCA notice on 21st February. Discord responded to the request, which contained multiple links, confirming that it would be removing the content from the server.<\/p>\n<p>Things didn&#8217;t end there, however, as multiple users were still sharing images from the leaked art book via private messages. Nintendo contacted Discord again hours later with a second request \u2014 an &#8220;immediate review and takedown&#8221; of the server. Discord responded the following day stating that it had issued a warning to the server for reported activity.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"a6qna-ZCbxA\">[embedded content]<figcaption class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=nintendolife\">Nintendo Life<\/a> on <span class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channel=\"nintendolife\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"default\"><a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/nintendolife\">YouTube<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Now, Nintendo \u2014 which is notoriously protective of its IP to the point where it&#8217;s had various fan mods, hacks, and emulations taken down \u2014 has issued a DMCA subpoena in an attempt to gain the &#8220;the name(s), address(es), telephone number(s), and e-mail addresses(es) of the user&#8221;. If it passes, Discord will have to comply.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to take from this story is that the leaks are probably real if Nintendo is taking this much action. As we&#8217;ve mentioned previously, we&#8217;re not going to be showing any of the images here, but many pages from the Collector&#8217;s Edition art book were leaked online back in February, and there were lots of spoilery details.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch\/related-articles:145379,145398 @ 2023-04-11T07:57:05+01:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p>You can read a copy of the DMCA subpoena over on <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/torrentfreak.com\/nintendo-hunts-down-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-leaker-230410\/\">TorrentFreak<\/a> for a look at the conversations between Nintendo of America and Discord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: Nintendo Nintendo of America has filed an application for a DMCA subpoena at a district court in California which, if granted, would order Discord to reveal the identity of the person who leaked The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom&#8216;s art book back in February.
