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.

They think that bullying one user is going to setup an example of what happens when you fuck with them.

Fuck 'em.

IIRC they aren't prosecuting these users, instead they want to make them be witnesses in a case against an ISP they want to say wasn't doing enough to stop piracy. The Reddit posts were about whether the ISP takes action against pirates or something like that.

Oh in that case I admit to pirating hundreds of movies while connected to the wifi on holiday at Disney Land. I'm happy to be a witness in a case if one of these scum bags wish to take on The Mouse.

Disney owns so many media companies, for any given movie pirate it's likely it was Disney content.
