How do you sue somebody anonymous?
Oh, that’s easy. You have one of your rent-a-cops grab a random dude off the street, beat a confession out of him, and then sue that guy.
They’re hoping for a default decision in their favour when the anonymous person(s) don’t show up to court. Then they try to use that court order to shut down their work wherever thay can
Does have me wondering what the Austrian legal system is like (where Denuvo is headquartered). Seems hard to set a court decision when the accused hasn’t even been identified. Can they even prove it’s a single person?
They didn‘t file it in Austria so I assume that doesn‘t matter much.
Ugh, thank you, my reading comprehension is not strong today.
But the work is already illegal. This is probably more about getting court injunctions against services (like, for example, Reddit) that might have the guy’s PII. Obviously voices covers his tracks, but getting a bunch of his anonymized data might reveal a slip-up.
I probably shouldn’t comment as I haven’t read the article (SHAME) but my assumption is this is the first step to compel platforms the cracker may have used to providing identifiable information on them.
I think I understand the approach.
Pro-consumer data/service companies have privacy policies where they don’t share someone’s info. The sole exception is when that person has used those services to break the law. The suit may have the intent of establishing that fact so said services consider providing the user’s info.
