Activision has gone on the warpath, so to speak. They are currently Subpoenaing Reddit to identify the user who recently leaked artwork for Modern Warfare’s Battle Royale game mode, Warzone. According to Hollywood reporter (https://bit.ly/2wAJNv4 ) Activision is filing a Digital Millennium Copyright Act subpoena against Reddit to uncover the identity of the Reddit user that leaked “infringing Activision content” with this Warzone leak.
It seems Activision isn’t the only one who has taken legal action against a leaker in the last few months. Recently Epic sued a UX tester for leaking details about Fortnite Chapter 2, and a month later sued another leaker for the same issue. (https://bit.ly/39WFjgT ).
Since December there have been numerous leaks about “Warzone” so why is this specific Warzone leak requiring legal action we wonder.
It is not sure if Activision will be successful in its subpoena but we will be sure to update you on this story as it unfolds.
