Nintendo asks for a call to a court in California, which, if he is awarded, would force Discord to provide him with information about the identity of a person standing behind the mass leak of Pokemon, known as “freakleak” or “teraleak”.
According to court documents seen and reported by PolygonNintendo asks to order the courts to stop the name, address, telephone number and e -mail address of the user unknown as “gamefreakout”. In October last year, Gamefreakout published content, including works of art protected to the copyright, signs, source code and other materials related to pokemon with a server of disagreement called “Freakleak”, after which they were widespread on the Internet.
Although not confirmed, the materials were probably obtained as a result of data violation in August that Freak from the game revealed in October. In the case of FRAK, the game violation covered 2606 cases of current, previous and contract names available. Oddly enough, the leaked files began to appear online on October 12, and the Game Freak statement appeared online the next day, but was withdrawn until October 10 and does not mention the company’s confidential materials outside the information about employees.
The leaking materials included many unannounced projects, as well as cut content and other basic information as well as early compilations of other Pokemon games. In particular, the leakage was presented by Pokemon Champions, the upcoming battle -oriented Pokemon game before the official announcement of the game in February. He also contained information about the upcoming Pokemon legends: for which, since then, the correct, along with still proven information about the next generation of Pokemon, source code for various Pokemon DS titles, meeting summaries and intersection of knowledge from Pokemon Legends: Arceus and other games.
Nintendo has not yet submitted an application against a hacker or crevice in response, but considering the call, it seems that Nintendo is probably trying to find the identity of the person responsible in the hope of this. Nintendo was historically very disputed for everything, from piracy to patent violation, so if the call was awarded, maybe just a matter of time.
