JAKARTA - At the end of June, Apple had reprimanded several leakers regarding the product information they provided before launching. Now, Samsung is also following suit, targeting leakers with copyright claim strikes.

Citing Gizmochina, Friday July 9, the findings come from Reddit, which states that Samsung has started a copyright claim attack to remove images and videos from leaks informed by Max Jambor of AllAboutSamsung.

Likewise with reliable leaker Evan Blass, he plans to delete posts related to Samsung. The copyright claim also states that the company is actually only after the leakers, not the other media outlets and portals that reported the leak.

In fact, the leak is a violation of the company's secrets for all its products. Of course, the move the tech company has taken on the leaks isn't surprising. Even Xiaomi has recently caught up to leaks of its devices.

Samsung itself owns the copyright claiming some of the images. Leaks usually spread quickly so it may not have an impact on them as a whole. Moreover, it also excludes text-based leaks.

Reported earlier, Apple has sent a warning letter to one of the reliable leakers. As for Kang, one of the leakers who is quite productive and reliable regarding Apple product news. Kang posted on his Weibo account that he had received a warning letter from a lawyer representing Apple.

Apple went a step further, as not only Kang, but the company also sent warning letters to other leakers. However, trusted leaker L0vetodream on Twitter claims that they have not received a letter from Apple's attorney regarding the leak.

In the letter, Apple warned leakers not to disclose information about products or projects from Apple that have not been officially released. That's because leaks can harm the company by providing valuable information to Apple's competitors.
