Discord is correct on this. Also, Discord has no obligation to assist another, unrelated corporation pursue litigation for violation of their copyright.
TL;DR: Get fucked, Nexon.
TL,DR;
Nexon wants personal user information for suspected “IP pirates” for a very vague sounding DMCA subpoena arguing that “Discord members “often use” the platform “to provide pirated versions of video games,” including Nexon’s.” Discord says no, citing first amendment rights of users, and because Discord already complied with another DMCA from Nexon back in October of 2023. Discord feels they are renegotiating a deal that has already been completed.
I can understand protecting your IP, but Discord isn’t the Pirate Bay or similar, it’s a VOIP and text application. Sure there are some horrible and illegal things done on Discord, but I feel like this isn’t Discord‘s problem and it rests more on the ISP’s of the individuals that Nexon is going after. At the same time, Discord has those user’s information and I would imagine there is something they can give Nexon to identify the “pirates” without completely doxxing them?
