Summary
Take-Two Interactive told the Southern District of New York its hunt for whoever posted leaked Grand Theft Auto VI footage is “rapidly evolving and ongoing.” On Aug. 28, 2026, in In re DMCA Subpoena to Discord, Inc. (No. 1:26-mc-00422, Judge Andrew L. Carter Jr.), the company filed a second, narrower Discord subpoena request plus a letter motion to seal only Attachment A. On Aug. 31 at 4:23 p.m. ET, Judge Carter granted the request and directed the clerk to issue the subpoena (Dkt. 10), separate from the first public Discord subpoena granted Aug. 21. The same day Take-Two had withdrawn its parallel YouTube/Google DMCA subpoena request (No. 1:26-mc-00425-JPC); Judge John P. Cronan closed that case Aug. 31 at 12:52 p.m. ET. The actions are 512(h) identity subpoenas, not a lawsuit naming a defendant, and no leaker has been publicly identified.
Key Points
- Second Discord subpoena granted Aug. 31 in case 1:26-mc-00422; clerk directed to issue it
- First public Discord subpoena was granted Aug. 21
- Google/YouTube request withdrawn Aug. 28; related case closed Aug. 31
- Seal request covers only Attachment A; no full-subpoena seal ruling
- Filings are DMCA 512(h) identity subpoenas only—no named defendant
