Though at the time they took the leak of the first
trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron lightly by sending out a whimsical tweet
blaming Hydra and subsequently releasing the official trailer and poster,
Marvel is now on the hunt for the one responsible for the leak.
According to THR, Marvel have gone to the California
Federal Court and issued Google with a subpoena to track down a man/woman
calling himself/herself "John Gazelle".
"The entertainment company says in court
documents that someone using the name "John Gazelle" posted a file of
the film on his Google Drive account. On October 22, a lawyer at Marvel parent
Disney sent Google a takedown notice pursuant to the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act, requesting that Google expeditiously remove the file. But Marvel
wants more identifying information about the alleged infringer. The company is
going after the IP address associated with this user's YouTube and Google+
accounts. The exact nature of the uploaded file isn't detailed in court
documents, but according to recent news reports, there's been circulation of an
early trailer of the much-anticipated superhero film as well as a clip of a
scene featuring Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr."
It looks like this Hydra Agent will
be having The Avengers knocking down his door and dispense some justice.
What do you think of the leaker
and Marvel's actions?
