A U.S. District Court in Northern California has issued a subpoena to Google, asking for info on the person who leaked the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer, according to Deadline. The trailer, which was supposed to have premiered on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., instead hit YouTube the previous week. Marvel followed up by releasing a cleaner version (see "First 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Trailer Released after Leak"), but was clearly not happy about the leak.
Marvel asked the court for a subpoena to force Google to produce user information on "John Gazelle," the user that uploaded the leaked trailer to YouTube, including the IP address of the device he used to do so. Since the video likely came from inside the company or from a vendor that does work for it, Marvel clearly wants not only to punish the person that blew their reveal, it wants to make sure it doesn’t have a leak that could compromise more content later.
Google has until November 18 to produce the information requested in the subpoena.
