As target Vice reporting , CD Projekt has decided to employ a copyright monitoring company to attempt to stop links to the stolen source code shared in It does this by relying on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to issue requests to remove social media posts. Twitter users who have posted links to a torrent of Gwent source code have already had their tweets deleted, replaced with a standard Twitter message explaining that the deletion was due to "a report from the copyright holder.

This is very difficult to stop any information disseminated onlineIf it is available, CD Projekt 's actions may therefore be in vain. At best, this may deter some people from deciding to share links or even download the source code themselves. It's also important to keep in mind that some of the torrents claiming to be the source code for CD Projekt may include data malware .
