Nintendo escalates anti-piracy measures and pressures Reddit for user data
Nintendo is intensifying its anti-piracy efforts by targeting the r/SwitchPirates subreddit. The company seeks user data from platforms like Reddit, Google, Discord, and GoDaddy to identify individuals involved in distributing pirated Switch games. This action follows a lawsuit against James “Archbox” Williams, a former moderator accused of orchestrating copyright infringement. Nintendo’s aggressive strategy aims to dismantle piracy infrastructure, not just prosecute individual offenders.
