Following several apparent video leaks of Grand Theft Auto VI, Take-Two Interactive has subpoenaed Microsoft and Discord over content that “infringes copyrights” held for the game, Kotaku reports.
In the subpoenas, filed on Thursday, Take-Two says copyrighted material includes “audiovisual content, artwork, images, dialogue, or other creative elements” and it is looking to identify “alleged infringers at issue.
” The subpoenas give Microsoft and Discord until September 4th to produce the requested information.
The leaked clips have been watermarked by a person or group going by “CyberLeek,” and they have shown what appears to be GTA VI protagonist Jason Duval (one of two protagonists) doing various activities, including driving, flying an airplane, using a taser, and attacking somebody with a wrench.
In one clip, the player spells “LEEK” by shooting holes in a wall.
Discord and Microsoft didn’t immediately reply to requests for comment.
The leaks have popped up ahead of Rockstar’s big extended preview of the game that is set to debut on Netflix on August 27th.
The full game is scheduled to launch on November 19th.
