Gotta take a loot into this Naughty Dog situation. Apparently, people are being copyrighted even if they don't show leaked material. Is talking about the specific details of a leak in violation of Fair Use (given fair use doctrine stuff on the method in which info is obtained)

I think
@leonardjfrench would have a word or two about this situation -
Copyright doesn't protect facts, so talking about a leak shouldn't be any kind of violation of copyright. Displaying leaked video needs a complete Fair Use analysis.

Check out
@HoegLaw. He did a#VirtualLegality video on the situation:https://twitter.com/HoegLaw/status/1255943315004022786 …

Happy to chat about it if desired. In short, ideas and facts can’t be copyrighted. Only the expression of those ideas. Discussion of even leaked material should in general be okay (with caveat that any given case will be subject to the specific facts and circumstances).

There is another situation going around YouTube where YouTube is apparently blocking people talking about how someone on their platform has been posting and monetizing copyright content. Could be similar here as YouTube may not want to anger naughty dog.

You should see if you can get in touch with
@Morrison. He is known as the video game lawyer. I don’t know how much he is still doing that vs his new job.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Criminologist, not lawyer. But discussing leaks and such shouldn't be an issue unless you were obviously the one who leaked it, a competitor, or acting in the benefit of a competitor meaning to harm Naughty Dog. In the end, it's all down to the platforms removing the posts.
