Reddit must share IP addresses of piracy-discussing users
Uh oh, some sort of court ruling?
film studios say
Oh right, nothing to see here.
That doesn’t mean they won’t do it, the more the “money taker” class takes control the more their internal regulations actually matter.
Unless we regulate that they can’t do this you can rest assured the businesses will play with each other.
Reddit is going public, they won’t give a fuck about your privacy anymore.
“Film studios” can eat a bag of rotting dicks. Hollywood was literally founded on the specific plot of land that was not only cheap AF, but also as far away from the European filmmakers (they were stealing from) as they could afford.
Fuck. Off.
Yes. Lot of rotten dicks in that industry, but unfortunately the sucking is done by the wrong people.
Oh, well, if the film studios say so then by all means…

Now you just gotta post that stuff to the DCS forums.
Seems a little outdated to ask for IP addresses. Many use apps to browse reddit and phones get new IPs all the time.
Heck I can see some weird shit people download by toggling airplane mode on/off and visiting iknowwhatyoudownloaded
They can get the ip history from isps
How about the four billions VPNs on the market
I believe if you visited using a VPN it would show a lot of downloads.

Do you think the Shareholders REALLY need it

So as long as you’re not doing anything illegal, you don’t mind the increasing size of the surveillance state? I doubt you do anything illegal in the bathroom, so you don’t mind if I do a little surveillance on your habits there, right? It’s just for anonymous marketing, I promise.
Something doesn’t seem to line up since you’re anti-google

“Just don’t struggle while they ram their cock in your ass, I know it hurts more and more as it gets deeper, but then you should rather tell yourself, I REALLY like this” Fuck off, bootlicker. It’s the complacency of the many like you why we need to keep fighting.
Yep. People act like they’re suddenly safe because they switch IP addresses. All those addresses are logged and can be traced by history. Heck, even VPNs can be rendered useless if they keep logs and are subpoenaed, or you forget to log out of services that communicate automatically your IP address when you switch to a VPN. Just takes a little more effort to link the VPN traffic.
People don’t understand that the only thing between them and legal trouble is the willingness of the system to expend the effort to track them down, not that there’s any real security in the easiest methods people use to avoid detection.
Neat page lmao
Never knew there was such a website.
Oh yeah it’s super helpful. They also have a bitorrent tester so you can see what the seeders see you as.
Yeah i already suspected such thing, but probably because i dont torrent things, i have no experience in there ;D
Can you give an ELI5 for this site? Is it just a record of torrents you’ve downloaded/seeded from your current ip address?

Imagine you have a right to know who’s talking about doing something illegal without proof they actually carry it out. What is that, a cop run film company?
Reddit must not, says I.
Seems we’re at an impasse
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 was merly discussing how to stay away from these easy to use services that allow people to pirate. Why do they need my IP?
Trying that one again? Thought they lost last time
Just wait for the IPO then buy a controlling stake. Seems easier than forcing reddit in court. Spwz loves dick as long as it pays well. No need for the hammer
Should be worth cents on the dollar since they fucked it up so bad
should, yeah.
Even if they got the IP addresses, I thought I read an article from a while ago saying that the supreme Court decided that IP addresses aren’t good enough to take any legal action on someone since they’re shared.
