Reddit must share IP addresses of piracy-discussing users, film studios say::Reddit says First Amendment rights protect it from having to disclose users’ info.
If you read the article it states at the film studio wants the IP address is to prove that Frontier is not doing anything about people pirating on their ISP. They claim that they aren’t going after the individuals themselves. The headline is deceptively vague.
And reddit still shouldn’t release the IP address of specific users without a warrant.
Oh sure, trust that they won’t abuse that data. That’s unheard of. It’s not like there’s a ton of ways to abuse that info, I swear!
False. At most, they should bring specific evidence of an actual crime to have authorities obtain a warrant. They can fuck all the way off til then.
Here in Denmark, that would be actively illegal. I think the same is true for most of EU. It may be allowed in Cooperate America, but I doubt it’s required. But that would be for Americans to decide.
Bold to assume us Americans can actually choose our laws.
