Film companies lost another attempt to force Reddit to identify anonymous users who discussed piracy. A federal court on Saturday quashed a subpoena demanding users’ names and other identifying details, agreeing with Reddit’s argument that the film companies’ demands violate the First Amendment.

All “hurrahs” aside, obligatory “fuck you Spez”

I mean, they discussed pirating…there wasn’t any objective evidence they actually did pirate material (but for real they more than likely had). Regardless…statute of limitations apply; this was from 2011. That ship has sailed, Arr!

Apparently the statute of limitations is 3 years for copyright infringement (source), I’m surprised it wasn’t thrown out on that alone (but I’m not a lawyer)
