People who craft intentionally misleading titles with a qualifier at the end that diffuses the statement have been proven to be pedophiles, schwim says.
Lol. The first thing I thought of when I saw this headline was another post I saw earlier today: “Trump must return $7.8M paid to him by other countries, Democrats demand.”
It is clear from the use of “must share” that it’s an opinion, not news.
If it was a court order, it’d say “ordered to reveal” or some such.
Invading privacy to attack your political opposition. Classic.
Pay Pig Boy enough and he’ll do anything
Maybe they can make him exec at a huge studio after he dump-fires teddit in the IPO.
Reddit keeps blocking more and more vpn IPs also, they are desperate to identify you to farm your metadata. Shit like this is part of what it could be used for.
Reddit is truly indefensible at this point, absolute shit in overall content quality, UX, user respect, could go on and on
Even through my self-hosted VPN I can’t access reddit! It’s alright, though… It is helping me get over my reddit reflex.
You can still use old.reddit.com
Ooh! Thanks, that works!! I don’t understand why, but it does!
Well yeah, you expect them to give up that info to a film studio who just demands it? No, they’ll exercise their first amendment rights to not disclose it, and they exercise their first amendment rights to sell it for the right price.

Next thing you know companies are going to want to know what you talk about inside their stores, or within public spaces, or ridding the bus.
inside their stores
You should see Walmart WiFi policies
They already know all of this. They can probably even make a good guess at what you’re thinking in these spaces as well as in your own home.
Have they already turned over the IP addresses?
Reddit claims they didn’t and don’t have to.
They will soon. I have no faith in their leadership.
As soon as the studios insert coin.
They’ll probably want some money for them instead.
So, I just walk into the film studios lobbies(Everyone of them) and ask them for an Ethernet cord, I proceed to connect my NAS to it and download every movie released by that same film studio. I’ve never had an issue from them.
Because, everything on the internet is true, right? Maybe I posted a totally false statement because it sounds good on the area of the internet I posted, or maybe I didn’t make a totally inaccurate and false statement and want everyone to know how amazing it is. The world will never know!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
For the third time in less than a year, film studios with copyright infringement complaints against a cable Internet provider are trying to force Reddit to share information about users who have discussed piracy on the site.
In the first instance, US Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler ruled in the US District Court for the Northern District of California that the First Amendment right to anonymous speech meant Reddit didn’t have to disclose the names, email addresses, and other account registration information for nine Reddit users.
Film companies, including Bodyguard Productions and Millennium Media, had subpoenaed Reddit in relation to a copyright infringement lawsuit against Astound Broadband-owned RCN about subscribers allegedly pirating 34 movie titles, including Hellboy (2019), Rambo V: Last Blood, and Tesla.
In her ruling, Beeler noted that while the First Amendment right to anonymous speech is not absolute, the film producers had already received the names of 118 Grande subscribers.
She also said the film producers had failed to prove that “the identifying information is directly or materially relevant or unavailable from another source.”
This week, as reported by TorrentFreak, film companies Voltage Holdings, which are part of the previous two subpoenas, and Screen Media Ventures, another film studio with litigation against RCN, filed a motion to compel [PDF] Reddit to respond to the subpoena in the US District Court for the Northern District of California.
The original article contains 588 words, the summary contains 228 words. Saved 61%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I can hear Judge Beeler’s eye roll from the other side of the country.
Reddit is becoming worse by the minute 😓
