What are the odds there’s at least one reddit employee’s IP on the list?

The film companies, including Killing Link Distribution and movant Voltage Holdings, disagreed with the lower court decisions. They appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, requesting a reversal.

Welp. Sounds like part of hollywood never heard of the Streisand Effect.

Reddit doesn’t have much of a choice than to fight this. If they roll over and give out the data every other studio will want the same treatment. Which likely would also involve the Authors Guild and RIAA as well wanting info on posts.

They would certainly like to maintain the posters and the data they bring by blocking this, but if push comes to shove, the posters are going to get hosed to save the stock.

Be careful here: There is no reason for film companies to not attack Lemmy like that.
