    From the article:

    The plaintiffs have always maintained that they don’t intend to pursue legal action against the targeted Redditors. Instead, they’re seeking information to support their lawsuits against RCN and other Internet providers.

    The motion to compel shows that the movie companies are seeking the following information from Mr. S, who is not necessarily the Redditor:

    1. All written communications with RCN concerning piracy from Oct. 1, 2017 to the present.

    2. Payment records to RCN from Oct. 1, 2017 to present.

    3. All personal computing records pertaining to usage of BitTorrent from Oct. 1, 2017 to the present.

    4. All social media account usernames used including for Reddit, Twitter and Facebook January 1, 2016 to present.

    5. All Reddit posts and messages from Jan. 1, 2016 to the present

    6. Records of all movie piracy websites (including but not limited to YTS, 1337x, RARBG, Torrent Galaxy, The PirateBay) that were used at your Internet service.
