A Reddit User Admitted To Pirating a Movie 12 Years Ago. Movie Studios Want To Unmask Him.

In what appears to be an escalating incursion into a user’s digital privacy, a collective of film companies continue to implore the court to compel Reddit to surrender its users’ personal details. This move is part of an ongoing piracy liability case against Internet Service Providers. Reddit, however, steadfastly resists, staunchly defending its users’ rights to anonymous speech.

Movie studios: "This is definitely the most important thing we have to deal with right now"

Here's the plan, gentleman. Where's my cigar? Now listen up! We ain't gonna be making another movie the whole rest of duh year, see? Fuck dem writers. Don't even get me started on the talent! So here's what we do. We get the moneys from this kid dat donloided one of our movies 12 years ago. It's brilliant! Where's Harvey?

Harvey: *shaking because he knew that was the one on reddit /r/piracy 12 years ago, drunk posting for shits and giggles

Seriously. The kid could just say I lied. I wanted to look cool.

Not the shitty movies we’re pumping out as if there were no tomorrow.

With the writers and actors all in strike, they won't be putting out any movies until they decide to be less shitty and come to the table in good faith, or all the writers starve and come crawling back because they have families to feed. I'm not holding my breath on a happy ending, honestly.

I was talking more in general but yeah, there’s also the strike.
