I didn’t know reddit gave out the personal details of their users, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

“the movie companies would like to see comprehensive details of the subscriber’s torrenting history, including records of visits to The Pirate Bay. In addition, it seeks information on other social media profiles, where more relevant information might be found.”
The problem is, legally, nobody is required to maintain that information. They can ask all they want.
“I’m sorry, my browser history is deleted every time I close my browser. Problem?”
Not to mention, things like TPB history mean nothing. I can browse TPB all day, it’s neither illegal, nor does it prove I downloaded torrents.
Unless you’re using a VPN, the ISP knows, and I bet they keep the records. Even if you’re using a VPN, they’ll know what VPN server you connected so the feds go after them instead.
Depending on how many infringement claims they’re making against OP, and I’m assuming it’s a lot if they’re asking for info on a specific user and not a whole sub, well, good luck OP
That’s an ask for the ISP though, in this case they’re asking the potential infringer who has no duty to cooperate.
They’re likely asking everyone at the same time if they’re serious about it.
