Bungie said a week ago that Destiny DMCA notices had been sent on YouTube using his own name and that they were investigating and would keep players informed of developments.
Bungie apparently took the matter to court and sued the unidentified individuals (referred to in the lawsuit as John Doe) alleging that YouTube used a flaw in DMCA transaction security to issue a notice on behalf of the studio and sabotage the work of Destiny content producers.
Bungie claims that these false copyright notices have disturbed the Bungie community and caused almost incalculable damage to the firm.
The studio is seeking a court order to identify them, hold them accountable and set a precedent. There is also a $150,000 claim for damages for each False Strike Notice.
If they are identified by court order, we can say that these individuals are facing extremely difficult times, because even a single strike can cost them $150,000. The number of DMCA strikes in the case was 41, while the number of John Doe was 10. There can also be only one person who exploits the vulnerability by changing their Gmail address, in a group. If it’s just one person, there’s a claim for about $6 million in damages.
