Denuvo has filed a lawsuit to stop hackers cracking their DRM.
As reported by Torrentfreak, Denuvo has filed suit in the district of Northern California, against voices38, and multiple defendants named Does 1-10.
In legal language, anonymous or unknown individuals are identified as John Doe or Jane Doe. In this case, they only know one identifying themselves separately as voices38. It isn’t clear for now if Denuvo believes these other Does have also cracked games, or are being sued as collaborators.
Denuvo’s suit says this:
Defendant is a computer hacker who is focused on reverse engineering, hacking, or ‘cracking’ video games employing Denuvo’s Anti-Tamper product.
Defendant has bypassed DRM restrictions in copyrighted works, removing protections that allow copyright owners to restrict who may access their works, and allowing for pirated versions of those copyrighted works.
Denuvo have also identified Steam, Reddit, and Discord accounts that they will file for discovery to unmask voices38’s identity.
Much like Rockstar’s lawsuit vs. leakers, Discord can choose not to comply. The outcome of this lawsuit could have huge consequences for Denuvo and DRM, so it’s one to follow.
