Film companies lost another attempt to force Reddit to identify anonymous users who discussed piracy. A federal court on Saturday quashed a subpoena demanding users’ names and other identifying details, agreeing with Reddit’s argument that the film companies’ demands violate the First Amendment.
All “hurrahs” aside, obligatory “fuck you Spez”
The mental-defectives running these film companies never astound me with the utter stupidity they try to commit to.
It’s times like these I’m glad that in my country, while these companies CAN sue individuals for piracy, they can only sue for the amount it’d cost to purchase the product in its physical form from a store, so they just don’t bother (this is assuming you don’t seed, so ymmv depending on your torrenting etiquette.)
