Oh fuck that. If those type of words are spoken in court you better have a lawyer or it's going to be twisted against you with some sort of proof that you do in fact know how to pirate stuff. Straight to jail.
Yup. They will use the fact that a user said they pirated a movie as a starting point. If Reddit capitulated and handed over the user info that could be used to hunt for more evidence and possibly connect them to other pirates. It would open a juicy can of worms for these bottom feeders. Good on Reddit for standing up for their users.
"Good on reddit for standing up for their users" I mean, you can't abuse them for cash if they're in jail.
But what for? His guilt expired years ago.
