@[email protected] What would discussing piracy prove, anyway? Nothing. And 99% of people discussing piracy on Reddit are going to live at a data center. I think this is all they actually hoped to accomplish - try to scare people who are talking about piracy. They don't and won't have the resources to take that information and figure out if anyone is breaking a law.
