Almost a week ago, now suspended Reddit user HOTDleaks shared a post titled: ‘Leaked plot summary for every episode of House of the Dragon’. As the post title suggests, the post contained detailed information about every episode of House of the Dragon. While some Reddit users said the post and plot summary made sense, many thought the post lacked credibility. After the suspension of HOTDleaks, a new account HOTDleak2 was created. The newly created account shared a post titled: “My original account just got removed by Reddit’s legal team. How do you address this?” Once again, Reddit suspended the newly created account. Now the question who ordered the account suspensions? comes into existence. Well, several reliable sources have confirmed that it’s HBO that has sent multiple DMCA notices to Reddit. Documents in a filing at a court in California by Home Box Office, Inc. includes 20 pages of communications with Reddit beginning August 4, 2022, and relate to several DMCA takedown notices sent by Warner. As you might have guessed, the notices targeted user HOTDleaks and even confirmed that the post made by the user “Leaked full summary of episode 1 of the upcoming HBO series HOUSE OF THE DRAGON”. HBO is now taking serious legal action forcing Reddit to hand over details of alleged infringers. Well, if the court grants the DMCA subpoena and Reddit doesn’t question it, then HBO will soon acquire details of the two suspended Reddit accounts.
