In what appears to be an escalating incursion into a user’s digital privacy, a collective of film companies continue to implore the court to compel Reddit to surrender its users’ personal details. This move is part of an ongoing piracy liability case against Internet Service Providers. Reddit, however, steadfastly resists, staunchly defending its users’ rights to anonymous speech.

Yeah it's not that I think they're above this kind of petty bullshit, but I don't get why they'd go "fuck this guy in particular".

That said, even if the guy admitted to running the world's biggest pirate ring, screw them anyway

Friendly reminder that piracy is not theft

Well, digital piracy.

But ye olde Black Beard and the modern Somalian type is very much theft.

That also typically includes murder, abduction, rape and general violence..
