## Summary

Take-Two Interactive chief executive Strauss Zelnick says he is not especially concerned about piracy ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6, though he expects it to remain an issue for the games industry. He says the company would respond with legal and technical measures if piracy became a serious problem.

Zelnick compared piracy across entertainment sectors, estimating it once affected 10–20% of the film market and, by the mid-2000s, around 80% of the record market. He said large game files and reliance on company servers make piracy more complicated, but not impossible. Take-Two has also pursued legal action over GTA 6 leaks, including obtaining a court-approved subpoena for Discord user information.
