I will never take these companies' side over a noble sailor of the high seas, but I took a look at the movies produced by Millennium Media, and they need every red cent they can get. They're certainly not getting them from tickets or rentals. Good lord, I haven't seen so much ripe stinking dogshit since the summer I spent clean cages at the animal shelter.

How humiliating to get copyright swatted for downloading something from the studio that brought you such timeless classics as The Prince & Me: The Elephant Adventure and Day of the Dead: Bloodline.

Reddit won a similar case a few months back.

Just want to drop this here because of how ridiculous these entertainment cartels can be:

Piracy aides in creating sales.

Up to 3% more for movies in theaters: https://hbr.org/2020/10/the-digital-piracy-dilemma

Only 6? Really? I'm pretty sure /r/piracy existed and had more users than that in 2011.

Shit... I could be one. I got banned from /r/Gaming around that time just for telling someone what specific .BIN file to search for to get their playstation emulator running, despite others mentioning the same thing and their rules only saying you can't post links.

Apparently this is the second time they’ve tried, and they’ve come with no new compelling case.

Maybe they think that Musk-lite will help them this time?

Isn't there some sort of statute of limitations here? 12 years is an awfully long time

"We're not rich enough. I need more."

Yea good luck suing the entire ~~USA~~ World

I hope reddit stands their ground and refuses to give up the information unless they are forced to.

Good luck, bozos. What are you gonna do? Extradite me to the US?

I talked about piracy a whole bunch in the switch piracy subreddit.

Wonder if I’ll get sued in 10-15 years for it along with the 1000s of others.

Lol, it's entirely possible that that info has rusted away in the intervening decade, even if Reddit wanted to comply. This is a scare tactic.

So at least one of them is one of spez' alts, then?

I can't imagine reddit giving a shit otherwise.

havent read the article but how exactly are they going to collect that information if even email is not a requirement on reddit

It was probably Dave.
