the US has so much geopolitical reach that companies in canada or elsewhere would just hand over the question if it was high enough profile.

That’s an interesting point, but I think the “if it’s high profile enough” is key. People torrenting files is probably low on their priorities. On the other hand, somebody organizing a terrorist cell is probably much higher.

Companies might have an interest in finding pirates, but it would not be as easy for them to get other companies to comply with their subpoenas.

yeah if ur just a dude pirating, it probably doesn’t matter, but if they find you’ve done a large crime, you can bet your ass that shits getting yoinked from you.

companies might, but that’s almost entirely through legal processes. ceast and desists, required reporting, etc…
