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.

I did the most egregious thing back in the day and rented DVDs from the video store, ripped them, then returned them.

I am wracked with guilt every day.

Just don’t look at the server over there pulling half a TB of new 4k rips from usenet at a gig a second…

I don’t even really understand how usenet works tbh let alone finding a place for 4k rips.

You don’t need to feel guilty, copying onto your own blank media is why we all have to pay a levy on all blank media, even when they’re not being used for copying videos. That backup of your own stuff (family photos etc) you want to do? Pay the RIAA-tax.
