The software
giant is reportedly intent in going after the companies that have hosted the
supposed leaked document linked to the upcoming Xbox 720. According to reports,
a tech site based in Czechoslovakia, a notice was sent by an internet
investigator from Microsoft requesting the website to remove the copyrighted
work. The notice indicated that the
website was offering copies that are unlicensed or is engaged in unauthorized
activities in relation to copyrighted works that were published by Microsoft.
Another
report indicated that the file containing the supposed Xbox 720 roadmap was
banned by Dropbox from its service. A reporter from WP Central supposedly
attempted to open the Xbox 720-linked document through Dropbox but he was
directed to a page that indicated that the document was unavailable because of
a takedown request by Microsoft under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
The leaked
document from Microsoft reported showcased the plans of the company for the
upcoming Xbox 720 game console. It emerged over at Scribd before the document
was removed from the website by Covington & Burling, an international law
firm that has Microsoft among its client list.
The recent
takedown request for the document linked to the Xbox 720 roadmap is just one of
the requests made by Microsoft, which has requested the removal of over 480,000
URLs last month basing on the Transparency Report of Google. In second place in
the number of takedown requests is NBC Universal which has around 242,000
requests.
No
statements were issued by Microsoft on the takedown request made on the
document that reportedly showed the roadmap for the upcoming Xbox 720 game
console.
