I am so conflicted on which side should I be on :/

A rough translation of a brazilian quote for you: "In a fight between these guys, I cheer for the fight".

How is it hard to root for the anonymity of people? This is pretty cut-and-dry.

If the film industry wins that could be a really awful precedent. Just sayin'

You don't have to (and shouldn't) side with any for profit company

I'm glad Reddit won here because it sets a precedent that will protect less well-funded Lemmy instances.

Welll y'know what they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that
