Denuvo sues anonymous game cracker 'voices38' over DRM bypass

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Denuvo, a developer of Digital Rights Management (DRM) software, has filed a lawsuit against an anonymous game cracker known as 'voices38'. The company alleges that 'voices38' has bypassed its Anti-Tamper protections in at least 26 PC games, seeking monetary damages and a court order to prevent further tampering. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, relies on the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) rather than copyright infringement, as Denuvo does not own the copyrights to the games. Denuvo is also seeking to identify 'voices38' by potentially obtaining information from platforms like Reddit and Discord. AI
