Nintendo discovers piracy of the new ‘Zelda’ and surprises criminal
After the leak of Nintendo’s release, “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom”, several players were already doing even gameplays and downloading the game illegally.

How did Nintendo find out?
The Japanese giant worked in collaboration with the player’s internet provider, Comcast Business Internet, to acquire information about the criminal act against the new “Zelda”, such as the download method and even the computer ID.
In a letter to the user, the network provider explains:
“We have received a message from a copyright owner or their authorized agent reporting alleged copyright infringement of one or more of their protected works committed through our Comcast Business Internet service.”
