Denuvo Sues Game Cracker 'voices38' for Bypassing its Anti-Tamper DRM
Denuvo alleges the anonymous cracker bypassed its anti-tamper system on 26 games and seeks damages and an injunction under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
- On Monday, Denuvo GmbH filed a lawsuit at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against an anonymous cracker known as voices38 for bypassing Anti-Tamper technology on 26 games.
- Denuvo argues that bypassing its Anti-Tamper protection violates the DMCA's anti-circumvention provisions, since the company does not own the games' copyrights and cannot sue for traditional copyright infringement as publishers could.
- Denuvo's complaint requests damages and an injunction against future circumvention, identifying a Discord user ID, a Reddit account, and seven Steam profiles believed linked to the cracker.
- Naming an unknown individual or entity as the primary defendant, the complaint also includes ten unnamed Doe defendants as voices38 continues releasing cracks despite the legal action.
- Denuvo hopes to eventually unmask the cracker using information linked to the identified accounts, though whether voices38 will appear in court remains uncertain.
