Discord says piracy subpoena would violate users' First Amendment rights
Briefly

Nexon alleges that Discord has refused to comply with a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) subpoena issued by a federal court, asserting that Discord users often share pirated games on the platform.
Discord's counsel argued that the subpoena was too broad and would infringe on users' decisions to remain anonymous, which they deem protected under the First Amendment.
In a letter from July, Discord's attorney stated, 'acting as your copyright assertion partner is not one of them,' addressing Nexon’s demands for further user information as improper.
Discord mentioned that it already provided 'Basic Subscriber Information for a distinct set of 64 User IDs,' emphasizing that it is not equipped to act as a copyright enforcer.
