Nintendo is targeting members of a popular Switch piracy subreddit
Earlier this year, Nintendo sued James Williams, who Nintendo claimed was the “operator, overseer, and driving force behind several Pirate Shops, through which Defendant has offered massive libraries of pirated Nintendo Switch games”.
Williams was also one of the moderators of the popular r/SwitchPiracy subreddit, and now, according to GameFile, Nintendo is seeking the business records of several platforms, including Reddit, in order to track other users.
“Reddit, Inc. operates a social media platform where users, often using pseudonyms, may post to different forums known as communities or ‘subreddits’,” says Nintendo in a filing.
“Defendant was a primary moderator of the SwitchPirates community, under the name ‘Archbox’, which boasted more than 190,000 members. Nintendo has reason to believe that other accounts active in the SwitchPirates community may also have been controlled by Defendant, or else reflect other individuals who have worked alongside Defendant.”
The filing goes on to say that, “the purpose of all of the requested subpoenas is to seek relevant information that is necessary for NOA to pursue infringement claims.”
