Crystal Dynamics files takedown notice following Tomb Raider script leak

Earlier this week, potential details regarding the next Tomb Raider game began floating around online. More specifically

[{"selector":"#anim-98ca4458-3658-4c97-8b84-4f4108c4d1d7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-697498ba-6370-4fe7-a38f-b43033146da4","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

More specifically, an audition script that allegedly contains story and character information.

[{"selector":"#anim-8bf5e294-5b99-449c-a1bf-7ec608e067c5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-60733c43-1dda-4c0a-80ad-47f4f302bb1c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8b1c6f93-0474-420b-a1fc-fcdb1341368b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Following the apparent leak, gaming-centric podcast Sacred Symbols read off bits from the script mentioned above in episode 213

[{"selector":"#anim-b6947b16-7185-4534-9768-cab37f282dc2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4af2462b-0fe8-4de6-b3ea-861353418697","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cf498b3a-fe95-4bcc-986f-1798af48c4ea","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

They are seeking at least $150 million from Jones and his bankrupt media company,

[{"selector":"#anim-a9334767-3160-4ad5-8708-e9b317e52a47 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ddaddbc5-1ed7-4697-a042-9257e392add1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd4da361-d696-43c7-8d7f-a943d7b3535a","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This inevitably resulted in publisher Square Enix and developer Crystal Dynamics issuing a Digital Millennium Copyright Act

[{"selector":"#anim-050fdf40-2596-47d3-b07d-1593ceef9337 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.265120854059415%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2d1e4e96-282a-405e-88ed-f1c5292407e0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fd52c797-91f4-493f-9102-b1bdbc467759","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

For those of you not familiar with United States copyright law (most people), companies utilize DMCA takedowns as a means to combat piracy.

In a follow-up video, Colin Moriarty, a host of Sacred Symbols, spoke about the incident.

They DMCA’d Patreon, to have them ask us to take down the offending audio of us talking about the new Tomb Raider,” Moriarty said via YouTube.

I was acting in the notion that this is fair use, this is general interest, this is of huge general interest.
