In June 2015, Sahagian was sued by [[The Pokémon Company International]] for violation of the {{wp|Digital Millennium Copyright Act}} by "willfully and deliberately infringing TPCi’s intellectual property in connection with the PokéBeach Site and the TCG One game", which PokéBeach was hosting at the time, causing "irreparable harm" to the company. The lawsuit alleged that PokéBeach was violating copyright and provided false copyright management information in relation to card scans using watermarks and the existence of TCG One, the latter of which was referred to in the case as "an unauthorized version of [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online|PTCGO]]". Other parts of the lawsuit also referenced [[Pokémon Showdown]] as an "Infringing Game". | In June 2015, Sahagian was sued by [[The Pokémon Company International]] for violation of the {{wp|Digital Millennium Copyright Act}} by "willfully and deliberately infringing TPCi’s intellectual property in connection with the PokéBeach Site and the TCG One game", which PokéBeach was hosting at the time, causing "irreparable harm" to the company.<ref>https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/8377892/Pokemon_Company_Intenational,_Inc_v_Sahagian</ref> The lawsuit alleged that PokéBeach was violating copyright and provided false copyright management information in relation to card scans using watermarks and the existence of TCG One, the latter of which was referred to in the case as "an unauthorized version of [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online|PTCGO]]".<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wawd.215815.3.0.pdf?no-og=true</ref> Other parts of the lawsuit also referenced [[Pokémon Showdown]] as an "Infringing Game". | ||
