Crackers are doing a favor to everyone by removing/bypassing a widespread malware called DRM.

Good luck finding the person or people that do the cracking.

They are assuming that the culprit(s) is an USA citizen right? Because if its someone in, lets say China or Russia, what is Denuvo going to do?

Edit: Forgot to say, Fuck Denuvo in every way possible.

They could possibly convince the FBI to go search for him, it has happened before but rarely

The FBI only works inside the USA. The rest of the world they would need Interpool and the cooperation of the host country.

USA people tend to forget that the USA are not the world, nor they have any jurisdiction outside the USA.

I just find it interesting that the anti-piracy company goes after them, and not the affected companies?

Really? You don't get that 100% of Denuvo's revenues come from these games being secured whereas the game companies still make a boatload from legit buyers? The real injured party is Denuvo.
🏴‍☠️Which I'm quite happy about.🏴‍☠️

And Interpol is not what you think. It just coordinates activities between investigating national agencies.
Such as the FBI.

Getting the default judgment will allow Denuvo to demand that Reddit, Valve and Discord not only reveal what they know about those account(s), but get those accounts banned. Voices38 has already laughed off the lawsuit, likely indicating that he lives somewhere safe and/or was smart about not leaving a digital trail. Or he's US-based, cocky, and about to go down.

I know who I'm rooting for! Fck Denuvo and fck DRM!

Please forgive me my ignorance… what has been done over Discord? Coordination and discussion between members of a cracking team?
I assumed that people who are able to defeat sophisticated DRM garbage have a working brain. They should refrain from using any KYC (Know Your Customer) services with centralized ownership of infrastructure and missing or incomplete E2EE.
The chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Being member of a group involved in any activity outside legality carries high risks. If there is just one person not protecting their stuff properly this means a Game Over

It's what the lawsuit claims, denuvo believes they have a discord ID, reddit account, and 7 steam profiles linked to the voices38 person. As such that's the angle they're going to pursue.

Will it work? We'll have to wait and see.

The lawsuit also hasn't entered the discovery phase yet so there is no evidence to back those claims yet.

The US has tons of extradition treaties with other countries in order to get people arrested and shipped to the US if they broke US laws and vise versa.
The usual wrinkle here is that the law also has to be broken in the host country, which is fairly likely as most of the bigger countries all have adopted the DMCA standard or something very similar to it, meaning this copyprotection circumvention is also illegal in those places.
