Nintendo is setting its record straight and engaging in legal pursuit against a Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/em> leaker.<\/p>
The publisher filed a DMCA subpoena in a district court in California on April 4 and urged Discord to disclose the identity of the person who leaked its Tears of the Kingdom<\/em> artbook, according to a report from TorrentFreak<\/a> on April 10.<\/p>
In February, the collector edition’s official artbook for TotK<\/em> <\/em>was leaked<\/a> on a Discord server. It showed 200 pages of character concept art, environments, spoilers for the main story, and much more. Nintendo is now legally hunting down the culprit.<\/p>
“[Nintendo of America] is requesting the attached proposed subpoena that would order Discord Inc… to disclose the identity, including the name(s), address(es), telephone number(s), and e-mail addresses(es) of the user Julien#2743, who is responsible for posting infringing content that appeared at the following channel Discord channel Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/em>…” the subpoena file read<\/a>.<\/p>
The company will likely seek legal pursuit on the leaker, as it has on previous occasions. The biggest case involving a Nintendo leak was settled in 2010 after someone leaked the Super Mario Bros. Wii<\/em>. They settled for $1.5 million in damages<\/a>.<\/p>
It’s still unclear whether Discord has complied with Nintendo’s request since it was filed.<\/p>
